TW0POWER LINES
LINK BALTIMORE
One Connection in Use Daily.
Another Available for
National Defense.

washington has two separate elec-
trio power connections with Baltimore,
one of them in use every day, it was
pointed out yesterday, in connection
with information given out Wednesday
In the study of power systems for ma
tional defense that there was no tie
up" transmission line from the Dis
trict OF Columbia to Baltimore.
The Washington system has been
interconnected with the Baltimore
system since March 3. 1898. by way
OF 23O.00O-volt transmission line
running between the Safe Harbor
Water Power Plant, at Safe Harbor
Pa: the Westport steam station in
Baltimore and the Takoma Park sub
station in Washington At Takoma
Park the voltage is stepped down to
l3,2O0 volts and is connected directl;
TO the Washington underground trans
mission system with a capacity of Co.
600 kilowatts With the execution
or deliberate disconnections, this line
has been interrupted and the Balti-
more and Washington systems sep
-arated for only five hours in the five
years of operation.
Several years ago the connection
with the Baltimore system was
strengthened by 25,O0O-kilowatt
l32,0OO-volt connection between the
Benning generating station in WASH
ington and the Westport steam gen.
Grating plant in Baltimore, bringing
the total lnterConnected capacity to
$4,000 kilowattS.
At present there is being installed
an additional ll0.00O-volt connection
between the Westport steam station
IN Baltimore and the Benning steam
station in Washington with a capacity
OF $4,000 kilowatts, so that the total
lnterconnected capacity between the
Baltimore system and that of Wash
lngton will be by August /, 1851
kilowatts
The Baltimore system is connected
BY various means to the other north
ern systems extending up to New York
and 1t is possible for WASHINGTON To
operate interconnected with these svs-
TENS, including that of the New York
Edison Co.
In an emergency the power lines of
the electrified Pennsylvania Railroad
between Washington and Baltimore
would provide a second "tie-in."
