IF 1T weren't for Robert r. Galloway
4 and his force Of engineers, mechanics
and laborers, a lot of Government
workers literally would be left in the
cold
Mr.. Galloway, who lives at 7106 Piney
Branch road NV, is service manager
for the General Services Administra-
ton in the Washington Metropolitan
Area. He is responsible for operation
of the three heating plants which
provide heat for about ITO Govern
ment buildings in downtown Washing
ton and nearby Virginia.
AS an indication Of the heat involved,
it would take an 18-mile-long train,
consisting of 2,725 coal cars, to carry
the average amount of coal these plants
burn in just one year!
The plants are located at Twenty
ninth and K streets NV, Twelfth and
C streets SW. and near the Pentagon
Building. They heat Government
buildings through a sprawling network
of miles of underground tunnels and
conduits.

is moved mechanically from an adja-
cent railroad siding to a storage yard,
or directly to the furnace. Ashes are
removed by combining them with water
and pumping them to storage tank.
where they then are sold by contract to
cinder block manufacturers. In one
day alone, this plant has burned 938
tons Of coal-enough to heat a one
family house for go years!
The Northwest heating plant, which
was opened in 1948, now has only two
boilers in operation, but eventually will
have six. The mechanical engineer in
charge is r. j. Hickey. The Virginia
plant was opened in 1912 and contains
five boilers and IL 1.100-ton refriger-
ating machines for cooling the Pen
tagon. Coal-handling and aSh-disposal
machinery at these installations is
similar to that at the central plant
The Virginia plant is under the super
vision of E. A. Kafka.

Most of the steam pipe. measuring
up to 20 inches in diameter, is con-
tanned in tunnels large enough for
group of men to walk through. They
do this daily to check the system for
leaks-in temperatures ranging from
1870 to $50 degrees!
The two Washington plants serve
buildings from First street NV. to
Twenty-sixth street NV: and from D
street S.W. to H street NV. The
Capitol, the House and Senate Office
Buildings, the City Post Office and the
Government Printing Office are heated
by non-GSA plant.
Before the central heating plant in
Southwest was opened in 1894, all the
Government buildings had their own
heating systems. Under the supervision
of Carl Johnson, this plant has six
boilers fired by automatic stokers and
each boiler is capable of generating
100000 pounds of steam an hour. Coal

Strangely enough, when a new build
ing like the General Accounting ONCE
is added to the heating system, the
additional steam pressure needed Is
almost negligible, according to MIR.
Galloway. It is only when five or six
buildings are added at once that the
heating facilities have to be expanded.
Economy and efficiency are our key
words" says Mr.. Galloway, land our
plants are in constant competition with
each other to see which one can provide
the most heat with the least amount
of fuel"
What does it cost the Government to
keep its Washington area employees
warm? Last year, the price was $2.687,-
600, about 54 per cent Of which was
spent for coal.
While this sum may seem high, the
job couldn't be duplicated by COM
mercial company at that price, accord
ing to Mr.. Galloway, who has had more
than 80 years experience in steam
generation, distribution and its appli-
cation to heating.

til they arrived at the landing.
Mrs. Bean then discussed RULES
and Laws Upon Entering an Air
port SO that the members of the
squadron would be familiar with
them, since an examination on that
topic is not required. 1t was then
announced that two members of the
squad - Margaret Ann Myers and

None Injured
In Auto Accident

None were seriously injured
in an automobile accident
which occurred last Friday in
the lane leading to the high
way on the Harry Cox ranch
two miles west of Hardin.
The car, a late model station
wagon belonging to Joe Torske,
was extensively damaged when
it upset, at about 1890 am.
Driver of the vehicle was
Janice Torske, IS, and. pas
sengers were Barbara Cox, IL,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
ry Cox, and Curtis and Jerry,
both 10, cousins of Barbara Cox.
It is believed the car wheel
struck a rut in the dirt road
and began to swerve, causing
the driver to lose control.
