Many Economic Experts
Favor Super-Power Zone
For Electric K ailrOads

! tween $50 and 500 miles can be
made.
In n word, steam operation can
not satisfactorily meet the conditions
OF the crowded terminal described
az the super power zone electric op.
Grafton can easily do &C.
Recent investigation in the Bos-
tom Washington sucpr-power zone
show "A waste of coal used I'm the
production of power by the inustrial
establishments In this zone in the
year 1919 to the amount OF 1850" .-
100 tons In other words, the cner-
gy developed by these establishments
by the burning OF 19.125,O0O tons OF
coal could have been developed In
large central power plants by tho
burning of 5,623,800 tons This was
wnste through inefficient. lndc-
pendent power production OF n per
cent In coal consumption.
The industry using the largest
amount OF coal In the region is am
thractte mining, and in this indus.
try coal saving OF more than rs
per cent could be made II the min
ers were supplied from an efficient
central electric power system. Man,
industries, IL is stated, could save
coal by the use OF waste heat boilers
this means could be made In the
cement Industry 10 Is estimated
that II waste heat boilers had been
In use in 1919 in all the cement
plants In the super power zone, sac
600 tons OF coal would have been
saved in that single industry.
There are many blast furnaces in
the super power zone which are iso-
lated from any steel plants or roll
ing mills, and approximately half
their gases are wasted. These vast
ed gases would produce sufficient
heat for boilers to generate 10000.
900 kilowatt hours IA year.
In certain plants the low pressure
steam requirements greatly exceed
the power requirements. and there
iJ no reason why such plants should
not generate by-product power and
sell 1t to the electrical distributing
companies.
