The ultimate dimensions of the
new defense measures are not pre-
cisely determinable, but on the
basis of formal requests for Con-
gressional action, the venture will
entail an expenditure of at least
$40 billion, and perhaps nearer
$40 billion, in excess of what was
spent under the same heading dur

Guests Of Ohio
Edison Company
Visit New Plant

More than 200 Ohio mayors and
press representatives took a look
Tuesday at the newest electric
generating unit to go into op-
GRAFTON on the Ohio Edison Com
pany system giant 100000
kiloWatt machine that can pro-
vide the electrical requirements
for city of 10000 people.
This new generating unit is
located at the Company's r E.
Burger power plant in Belmont
County, Ohio, on the Ohio River
below Bellaire. 1t is one of Ia
power plants in the Ohio Edison
System, into which The Ohio
Public Service Company was
merged last May.
The new generating unit :
equivalent to approximately 1885,
600 horsepower is the largest
in any of the SYSTEMS plants. Cost
for the addition of this unit was
over S12,000,0O0. Construction
work on the new unit was start
ed by The Ohio Public Service
Company in May, 1948, and the
equipment was placed in service
in March, 1850.
In the presence of the mayors
and representatives of the press
and various utility companies
and electrical manufacturers, oc-
casion was taken to honor r. E.
Burger, after whom the plant was
named. Mr.. Burger was president
and chairman of the board of The
Ohio Public Service Company at
the time of the merger, and is
now chairman of the executive
committee of Ohio Edison. A
bronze plaque, to be mounted in
the lobby of the plant, was pre-
sented Mr.. Burger by w. II. Sam

In theory this should be rel

a strong possibility that the side

story tor, Of .masslveness. fhe turbo-
generator itself is the size of
big locomotive, and weighs 811
tons. When operating at full ca
pacity, So tons of coal an hour are
required to supply it with neces-
sary steam.
The big windmill like blades in
the turbine, driven by the high
pressure steam, rotate at $500
revolutions per minute. At this
tremendous speed, the outer edge
of the biggest turbine wheel is
travelling at 944 miles per hour
faster than a jet plane.
The rotor of the generator spins
on the same shaft to turn out the
100000 kilowatts.
Two boilers, each the height
Of d 10-story building and burn
ing coal powdered as fine as
talcum powder, provide the steam
to drive the. turbine.
With the addition of. this 100,-
000-kilowatt turbo generating
unit, the Burger plant can now
turn out 230, 900 kilowatts, making
it the second largest in size on the
Ohio Edison system. The plant
has two other generating units,
each capable of producing $4,000
kilowatts.
Power from the Burger plant
is sent out over three high-volt-
age transmission lines to Ash
land, Alliance and Massillon, from
where other lines radiate to var
ious areas served by Ohio Edison
Company.
In order to provide this amount
of electricity, the Burger plant
uses an average of 1,438 tons of
coal each day enough to make
a train of cars over 100 miles
long in years time. A stock
pile of coal, averaging 10000
tons, is in storage at the plant.
This amount of coal will run the
plant for about 100 days.
The Burger plant was located
on the Ohio River for two reasons:
First, the plant uses tremen-
dous amount of water each day
for condensing steam after it
leaves the turbine back to water
for reuse. The plant pumps an
average of 279,3OO,OOO gallons of
water a day more than three
times the average daily pumpage
of the cities of Akron, Youngs-
town, Warren and Massillon COM
bined.
Secondly, it is close to the
/ large coal fields of Ohio and
West Virginia. All of the coal
IS delivered by river barges, thus
enabling the Company to take
advantage of lower freight rates
on coal.
The plant is known as a high
level plant. When it was built, a
tremendous amount of fill was
used on the bank or the river
to bring the basement floor above
flood level. The basement level
stands three feet higher than the
highest flood crest of the river
ever recorded, offering complete
protection from flood waters.
In construction of the plant.
over 1000 carloads of materials
and equipment were used. Total
cost OF the plant is approximately
100000.
The completion of the third
/ unit at Burger marked another
step in the big construction pro-
gram carried on by the companies
comprising the Ohio Edison
system since the end of World
war II to provide ample power
facilities to meet the needs of its
thousands of customers. In the
i've years sine 1945, the system
has spent over $1O7,OOO,OOO for
new electric facilities, including
eight additions to power plants
