REVIVE PLAN
CONTINUED from Page One)

Hoover who was a member OF the en-
gineers commission, submitted the
proposition for discussion today and
it was said that the cabinet intends
to continue its study Of the subject
with the possibilities of opening q
new era" in the power field.
The Atlantic seaboard super pro-
ject, according to engineers, would
save 50,O00,O00 tons of coal annually
and in addition stabilize the coal in
dustry by providing regular employ
ment at the coal mines.
Under the scheme worked out all
industries in the super power zone
on the Atlantic seaboard described in
the report as the finishing shop OF
American industry" all industries.
railroads and other consumers of
electricity would be supplied by a
unified power system.
Large generating plants would be
erected at strategetic centers conven-
lent to the larger industries which
would feed into a great power line,
and then out to the consumers.
The project as conceived would not
entail any outlay Of money by the
government, it was said, but contem-
plated the erection Of unit at a time
through financing by the co-opera-
ton of public utilities and other large
power companies and users of cleo
tricity.
g The cost it was estimated would be
between 500 100000 and $500, 900, 900.
Secretary Hoover is understood to
have recently discussed the feasabil-
ity of the project with representa-
tives of many public utilities.
The super power project contem-
plates power production which would
include generation of electricity by
steam at tidewater and on inland
waters and the utilization of all hy-
dro-electric power obtained econ
omically from rivers within the zone,
or within transmission distance.
The zone embraces parts of the
states Of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York. Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Maryland and all of
the states of Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New Jersey.
With this zone, according to the en-
gineers report, is concentrated one
fourth of the population of the coun-
try and els electric utilities, IS rail-
roads and $4,000 industrial plants.
Under the plan no attempt would
be made to supplant or compete with
existing electric utilities but rather to
coordinate and supplement these ut
ilities and to carry to higher degree
the service and the economies incid-
ent to their present operation.
