"SUPER-POWER PROJECT TAKEN
UP BY PRESIDENT AND CABINET
Secretary Hoover Was Member
of Engineering Commission
that Made Investigation.
(sy The AssoeIated Press)

WASHINGTON. April THE pro-
posed "super-power project" for the
Atlantic seaboard between Boston and
Washington was taken up by Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet today
during q general discussion OF the coal
strike as a means Of minimizing the
effect of similar strikes in the future
on the economic fabric of the country.
The discussion was said to have been
most thorough. although no definite
conclusions were reached.
The discussion was based on the re-
port of a commission Of engineers for
such a project which was submitted
to congress nearly two years ago, and
has since laid dormant. Secretary
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
It's possibilities of opening a new
era" in the power field.
The Atlantic Seaboard super-power
project, according to engineers would
save 50,000,o00 tons of coal annually
in addition estabilize the coal industry
by providing regular employment 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 cleo
tricity would be supplied by unified
power system. -.r
Large generating plants would be
erected at strategic mining centers
convenient to the larger industries
which would feed into great power
line, and then out to the consumer.
The project as conceived would not
entail any outlay of money by the gov
ernment It was said, but contemplated
the erection of a, unit at a time through
financing by the cooperation Of pub
lie utilities and other large power
companies and users Of electricity.
The cost, it was said, probably would
be between $2oo!00O,o0O and 100000
600.
Secretary Hoover is understood to
have recently discussed the feasibility
OF the project with representatives Of
many public utilities.
