sion Lines Of Public Service Companies
A map Of West Virginia, on q scale
Of 100000, or about 8 miles to the
inch showing the location Of the power
stations and transmission lines used
In public service and the names OF the
public utility companies, has just been
published by the United States Geolo-
gical Survey, Department Of the Inter-
Tor.
This map, which measures about 33
by 80 inches, Is the last Of the series OF
State power maps published by the
Geological Survey. The other maps
published are those Of New York,
Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, and Connecticut, Maryland,
Delaware, and the District Of Column
bla, New Jersey, Virginia and Indiana.

Director Of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey for so cents copy.
These maps will be valuable 10 those
who are interested In the interconnec-
ton Of power plants, TO those who wish
TO establish manufacturing plants
within reach Of electrical power, to
municipalities contemplating the use
Of electricity for light and power, and
TO municipalities considering the FEAST
bility of purchasing electricity instead
Of reconstructing an old or obselute
municipal plant. The Geological Sur
vey recently made special investiga-
ton of the possible economy OF fuel,
labor, and materials that would be
gained In the Boston Washington In
dustrial region by the use Of compre.
hensive system for the generation and
distribution Of electricity TO transp0r-
tation lines and Industries. The re-
port giving the results Of this investi.
CATION was published by the Geological
Survey an Professional Paper 1913 en-
titled, "A Superpower System for the
Region between Boston and Washing
ton" This investigation proved con-
clusively that plants Of 500 horsepower
or less can economically purchase en-
ergy instead Of generating 1t, as y
showed that small plants consumed
from 8.23 pounds Of coal per kilowatt
hour, whereas large plants consumed
Tut 2.14 pounds per kilowatt nonr.
The difference In the cost OF mainten-
ance, labor and supplies was even
more marked, the ratio being about 4
to against the small plants.
