SEES NO SHORTAGE
IN ELECTRIC POWER
Geological Survey Official
Says Drought viii Not Ham,
per Industrial Plants.

Fears of electrical power shortage
this Fall through the falling of rivers
as the result of the drought were al
layed by A. H. Horton of the power re-
sources division of the Geological Sur
vey, Department of Interior, yesterday
when he declared that the output OF
steam plants will be more than able to
compensate for the water power def
cheney
Mr.. Horton said further that, con-
trary to some opinions, the rivers are
not now drying up, but are being fed
with ground water which fell as rain
some months ago and which only now
reaches the flowing streams. He ex-
planned that the rivers may lose some
level in the Fall unless heavy rainfalls
afford new water supply between now
and that time.
Outline of Conditions.
Low levels in streams supplying water
for power plants have caused decline
in the percentage of the output of cleo
tricity by such plants, while the stock
market depression of last Fall and en-
suing business defiation have held pro-
duction of power from all plants TO
about the same totals as last year, he
explained. Usually there Is about a 10
per cent increase annually In power
production it was explained. Conse~
quently steam plants which had planned
to expand equipment to take care OF
an increase can utilize that equipment,
as well as emergency apparatus if nee
esSary, to offset the drop in the output
of electricity by water power. Thus no
power shortage is expected.
Probably the demand for power dur
ing the rest OF the year will not be great
enough to overcome the effects of the
business slump and bring the usual 10
per cent gain, it was pointed out. Many
industries have been operating reduced
forces on shorter hours and curtailed
schedules and hence have not required
as much electricity as they ordinarily
would. Building and construction opera
tons likewise have fallen OF, it was
stated, and the result has been to pre-
vent an increase in domestic con-
sumption Of electric power.
Sees No Appreciable Loss.
Mr.. Horton said it was his impression
that there would be no appreciable drop
in the output of electric power by water
power plants. While the prevalent be-
lief is that rivers are drying up rap
idly, actually they are dropping slowly
in many instances, for they are being
supplied with ground water, which likely
fell some months ago as rain and is just
now reaching the rivers. Summer dry
ness is usually not felt until october
or November, Mr.. Horton said. Thus
effects of the drought of the last few
weeks will not be apparent for some
time.
Almost continuous rainfall from now
until october or November might keep
rivers from falling, it was stated. But
they have already dropped nearly to the
