Only Tenth Of States
Water Power Har lessed

ATLANTA, Sept. ga very in
teresting seurvey of Georgias water
power resources, both developed and
undeveloped, has been prepared by
DR.. S. w. McCallie, state geologist
It shows that only one-tenth of the
total water power of the state has yet
been developed, but yet this one-tenth
approximating 262, 148 horsepower, is
equal to an annual coal energy of II
38l 900 tons. Discussing developed
water power, he says:
Estimating four tons of coal as
equivalent to one horsepower hour
the States total water powers as
shown above is equal annually to the
potential energy of II 1881, 900 tons OF
coal To deliver this huge coal ton
mage in one year it would require 793
90 ton carloads daily, or 80 cars per
hour. or ont GA in Is minutes. The
money value of Our water power as
above given in coal tonnage, rating
coal at SIS per ton, is $50 900, 500 per
annum.
In this connection I wish to add a
word concerning the Burton Storage
Dam which is one of the states great
est engineering enterprises in the
way of conserving our water powers
The storage capacity of this dam, OF
which is 10 feet high, and backs the
water UP stream for about ten miles,
is 5,280,OO0 cubic feet, which is suffi-
Gent to operate continually the power
plant at Tallulah Falls approximately
for SO days. This energy converted
into coal tonnage would represent ap-
proximately 100000 tons of coal which
valued at SIS per ton would represent
100000,
1t might be of interest to know that
the Burton Dam reservoir holds suffi-
cict't water to supply :te city of AT
lanta at its present rate of consump-
ton for more than 8 IL years, and
that the run-off from the rainfall in
that part of Dabun County is ample
to fill the reservoir more than twice
annually.
The Burton Dam is the latest ach-
ievement of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. Due to the mil
lions of dollars spent in North Georgia
and other sections of the State by the
power companies Georgia has beer
called the electric hub of the south"
