The
Rambler
Finds PEPco
Thrives on Heut
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The heat wave having
abated somewhat, the Ram
bier wandered over to the
Potomac. Electric Power Co.
to ask about the new records
in the delivery Of power the
company has been setting.
Robert w. Wilson, a vice
president, took him III hand
and tried to tell him all about
1t.
Heat waves are good for
business in the power indus
try. They cause air-condi-
tioning machines to 60 full
blast. At 1:55 pm. on Mon
day the demand for Pepco
power rose to an all-time high
of 951 900 kilowatts. The high
for the day was 95 degrees.
On Tuesday the tempera-
ture went to So and at 1885
pm. the peak load hit another
high, 965,O00 XIV. This was
almost IL per cent above the
1856 high, which was at 1885
pm. August 3l-S6S,0O0 XIV.
Traders on the New York
Stock Exchange on Tuesday
apparently were unaware Of
what the heat wave was doing
for the electric power busi-
ness in Washington. Twenty
eight hundred shares Of Pepco
were exchanged and they
closed at 21h-h on.

TT TAKES about three years
to add another power-produc-
ing unit. For one thing the
turbines have to be ordered
three years ahead. The firms
that make them, G-E, West
inghouse and Allis- Chalmers,
have a big backlog Of orders.
Every turbine Is made to order
-tailor-made. We get ours
from GEE.
"Our next increase in ca
pacity will come from the first
unit of the plant on the Po-
tomac at Dickerson, Nd, near
Sugar Loaf Mountain. The
turbines have been ordered;
soundings are being made at
the site and the engineering
work is being done on the
drafting tables. Dickerson
will start delivering power in
the summer Of 1859. That
will add 175,000 XIV. to our
capacity which is now a little
over / million XIV"
"All our electricity Is made
from steam. We have no
hydro.
while the newer units can
be changed from coal to oil
or gas in no time, coal is still
our fuel. While coal has
doubled in price in the past 10
years, it Is still the cheapest
fuel for US. We haven't much
storage capacity for oil or gas,
but we always have more than
100000 tons Of coal on hand,
enough to continue operating
for more than two months.

we burned more than $4,000

Commission Chairman Har-
land Bartholomew, however, in
sisted this was the proper time
for the commission to submit

He accused the District of con-
stantly showing the commits
sion into a corner" and asking
it only to 'rubber-stamp" plans
drawn entirely by the city.
Maryland's precise intentions
as to the new road were left
thoroughly confused by the dis
cussion
Col. Hunter conceded that
Maryland has given up an orig
inal idea for building the ex-
Ipressway along the Potomac in
Maryland. But he insisted that
the State has assured the Dis
trict it still could meet the city
part of the road near the river
at the Maryland line. This, he
said, could be done by putting
the expressway in the Little
Falls Branch parkway. which
runs from Bethesda to the Poto-
mao
However, William C. Burrage,
planning director Of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, said the
Maryland road officials were
gi''ing heaviest consideration"
to routes near Wisconsin ave-
nue. and River road.
Truck Ban Noted
He noted that the Little Falls

poses" would be seriously vio-
lated If the truck route were
built in Glover-Archbold Park.
Conrad L. Wirth, Park Services
director. who voted in favor Of
using Glover-Archbold for the
road. said the decision put him
in "a most difficult" position. He
also strenously opposed the river
location, where park land also is
involved.
The committee report urging
use of Glover-Archbold said it
would be "far less disruptive"
than a road along the Potomac,
would preserve the low-popula-
ton density character of the
river, would serve more concen-
trated traffic needs and might
be suitable also for mass tram
sit" operations.
Reconsideration Possible
Chairman Bartholomew said
the action was purely a PLAN

reconSidered in light of any later
