development shall be determined.
Very quietly the large financial
interests are working out plans to
this end. The subject is not new as
the Government has given the mat
ter considerable attention, and in
1921, Congress authorized a survey
of the power u of the east
ern part of this country. This study
brought out the recommendation
that the general hook up of the po-
wer facilities between Boston and
Washington alone would result in
great economies. The report claimed
that this super power would result
in a saving of $3.50, 900, 900 over the
present uncoordinated system.
1t is stated that the development
of super-power depended upon the
movement to coordinate power sys-
TENS in a gigantic merger would be
to revive the Muscle Shoals issue
which created such a disturbance o.
yer a long period as the result of
Congressional debates.
Senator Norris, of Nebraska. con-
Quoted a war against the organiza-
tions interested in this movement at
the last session of Congress and en-
deavored to have an investigation
made by the Federal Trade Commits
sion. The Commission, however, re-
fused to accede to his demands after
it's recent reorganization. AS a re-
suit of this rebuff the issue of SUI
per power is bound to crop up at
next session.
In Rural Homes
Aside from the political aspects of
the situation, it is interesting to note
that the Smithsonian Institute con-
Quoted a survey of electri. service
for rural homes. In this report It
was stated that the desirability OF
this service cannot be denatable. The
is conferred on the installa-
tior cost of electrical equipment and
.cperation cost of the service. It is
quite significant to mote that this re-
port from a ~non-partisan sourc stat
ed that "the electrical heating of
rural homes is not within the realm
of the practical" A n report
issued recently showed a gain of more
than two million customers for cleo
trio service companies throughout
the country during 1924.
If you read current publications
you may expect to see an unusual
amount Of space devoted to the sub
iect of super-power this winter.
