DEVELOPS
RESOURCES IN
POWER
Water Will Soon Produce
Electricity Equivalent to
IL Million Tons of Coal
BY international News Service.

ROME, March 10.-Italy is tax
ing leading place among the
foremost nations of the world in
developing her power resources.
In. six or seven years water-driven
power stations will be in full work
ing order, and they will procure
10000 900 kilowatt hours of cleo
tricity yearly, equivalent Ito the
product OF II, 1000, 900 tons Of coal.
Mortara, Italy's leading econo-
mist, estimates there is water
power available in the country to
generate as much electricity as
could be obtained from SO,00O,0O0
tons of coal yearly.
This development in the produc-
ton OF energy will be OF untold
benefit to the industries of the
country. Italy is not rich in coal
fields, and she has had to pay
dearly in recent years for her coal
imports; but the production Of
cheap electrical power viii cut
down these imports to the mini
mum. Industries, while obtaining
power at less cost, will stimuli
taneously wipe out the present
heavy expenditure OF coal.
Tt is truly said that electricity
now stirs the pulses of Italy from
the Alps to the farthest ends Of the
country.
Three Great Centers.
/. One Of the biggest schemes at
the present moment is to link up
the three great commercial cen
ters- Turin, Milan and Genoa
with a triangular electric railroad
system. This will completely
change the face Of Italy from the
Industrial viewpoint. Genoa Is des-
tined to become the center for sea
borne trade for Northern Italy.
The railroad from Rome north.
ward, via Pisa, also will be electri-
fled and the time for the journey
considerably reduced.
Italian engineers are working on
extensive plans for Harvesting the
mountain rivers.
One such scheme was completed
last year. The largest dam IN the
world, on the multiple.arch system.
stores the waters of the Tirso and
produces power for the whole Of
Sardinia. The lake holds 400, O0O, 900
cubic meters of water.
Mountain Basins.
Upward of one hundred noun.
tain basins have been completed In
Italy. Others are in process Of con.
struction, the most notable being
the SiIa Lakes. in CaIabria, which
viii furnish all the power needed
for the identification of the entire
southern railroad system, including
Sicily.
AgricuIturists are beginning to
realize the enormous benefits to be
obtained from the use of electricity.
In many southern provinces farm
ers stil cling to primitive methods.
Production Is low. but this win be
by the use of power.
It is hoped to reclaim extensive
tracts Of marshland by the use OF
electrically driven pumps. An ex.
ample of this is. found in Central
Italy, where 1000 acres of reclaim
ed land are now being cultivated.
