 "In our immediate territory we have practically no plants engaged in the first process, and only c few in the intermediate process. Most Of the plants In our territory are efl- gagged in the manufacturing or fab- ricatlon of material. Our problem, for this reason alone, ls, therefore, not nearly 90 acute as 1t is in these sections where the electro chemical industries abound.
 Drought Costly
 "The power shortage has been particularly acute In those sections depending entirely or largely upon hydroselectric power. Nelghboring states would have been able to take care of tho excess demands result ing from the increased defense load, but the additional shortage caused by the drought proved too much for them. Relief arrived with the heavy fall and early winter rains.
 "The unusual drought conditions in the Southeast, through what is known as the IVA area, proved again what hos been demon- strated over many years in oil sec. tions of the country, which is that water power is not Q firm depend. able power source. DroughtS come with considerable frequency, al. though they do not necessarily oc. cur in the same sections. For exam- pie, during tho past year in much Of the West there was no water shortage, and yet at the same time an abnormal drought prevailed in tho Southeast.
 "so far as the Connecticut Light and Power Company is concerned we do not anticipate any shortage unless some radical change takes place in manufacturing facilities in this territory: or, unless wo arc drawn upon heavily to make up shortages In adjacent territories out side of New England; or, finally un- less generating facilities arranged for sometime ago, and already on order, are withheld for reasons bee yond our control"
 UndependabIe
 MT. Jebb commented that the un- fortunate drought conditions in the IVA area furnished another strik- ing demonstration of the failacy of spending q tremendous sum on the proposed Enfield dam project, which could not of Itself guarantee even q comparatively small amount of de- pendable power.
