POWER .OOWAN I.
In modern industry. one of the
most important elements to be non-
siderad and one on which the suc-
ces. of industry largely depends is
a satisfactory supply of electric pow-
cr at reasonable rates. No indus-
trial community can in these days
cxpt‘c‘. to succeed unless it has such
any other one thing.
l’robably very few people realise
today that the electric light and
power industry is the third largest
industry' in the United states, being
exceeded in also only by agriculture
and steam railways. Its growth has
been more rapid than that of any
other industry and thi. enormous
growth and its efficient operations
have undoubtedly contributed as
much to the industrial development
of the country as any other agency.
The present investment in the
electric light and power industry is
in the neighborhood of 81.500.000.-
000. Twenty-five years ago. this
investment was only “00.000.000
or about one-fifteenth of what it is
today.

This growth of the i dustry in the
country as a. whole has applied
'..qually to New England and Con-
iecticut. Practically one-half of
N'ew England's industrial power is
iupplied by her electric utilities.

land's public utilities at the present
time is approximately “00.000.000.

the number of customers ~ for the
same period has increased from
025.000 to 1.006.000.
Applying this test to Connecticut.
We find that the investment value of
Connecticut electric utilities at the
present time is approximately 880.-
750.000 and in the period from 1920

is claimed that if it took as much

more than it did forty or fifty years
ago. it is rather gratifying to tllhso
of‘us in the electric industry to be
able to say that a dollar today will
buy in this section of the country
approximately fifteen times the
amount of illumination it would
have purchased in 1888.
' Power and Industry.
When the various industries op.
erniing in New England and partic-
ularly in Connecticut were started.
it was largely because of the water
power on some. of the streams which
could be used for the power at that
time required by those industries. All
the industries have grown. the
amount of water available in most of
those streams has become inade-
quate for water power and in a large
number of cases is not sufficient for
condensing purposes required in the
production of the large volume of
electric power by steam. and in
many cases the amount of water
available in the streams on which
these industrial plants were located
with the idea of deriving their pow.
er therefrom. is barely sufficient for
process purposes in the factories and
cannot be spared to use .':.'.‘ the malt-
ing of power.
The production of electricity
as important as the other. Condens-
ing water in sufficient quantities is
a very important factor in determin.
ing the location of steam plants.
The amount of coal required to pro—
duce a given amount of electricity
is much less on large power plants
than in smul‘. ores. so that there in

small isolated plants and concentrat-
ing this production in large and
modern power plants.
As the also of the industrial plants
increases and as the manufacturing
purposes in connection with the. op.
eration of steam turbines. it be-
comes increasingly apparent that in-
dustrial plants must look to some
outside agency for the furnishing of

ciaiiy Connecticut must realise that
it is highly important to them that
the electric light and power industry
be fostered maintained an encour-
aged and be permitted to develop in
a sound and prosperous way to the
end that it may be ready at all times
to meat the ever increasing require-
ments of the industries for this
noceessary electrical power which
only the electric utilities are in a
position to furnish.
A Definite Power Program
More in New England we liavu a
considerable amount of hydro-eluc-
cally developed. but it must be back-
ed up in order to insure a reliability
of service with adequate steam‘e-
serve and those stcam- plants must
be located at points where not only
can they secure coal cheaper. but
what is perhaps even more import-
aiit. where they can obtain the enor-
mous quantity of water necessary
for condensing purposes. There are
not so very many such points in New
England and therefore. there is
it is available. next the most effi-
ciont and modern steam plants and
finally the older and less efficient
steam plants. thus reducing the cost
of the power supplied to .c commu-
niiy. not only by producing the pow-
sr where the coat is less. but by also
reducing the amount of reserve ra-
’ pacity that otherwise would be re-
quired if each company were opcr~
sting as an individual unit and so
r ucing the investment. This plan
w ile fundamentally sound has cer-
tain difficulties and objections. The
laws and requirements of the va-
rlciia New England states are not all
the same and it is quite possible
that one of the New England states
might impose upon a company with-
in her borders. certain obligations or
duties which if all of New England
were being supplied by one com-
pan.. might result in some of the
unreasonable burden belng'passed on
to some of the neighboring states.
It would seem perhaps. thereiore.
without in any way interfering with
the soundness of the general New
England plan referred to above.
that a safer way might be for each
one of the states as far as practical
to develop within its own borders
and through its own companies as
with the companies in he neighbor-
ing states so that add tional power
can be obtained when necessary and
in the case of those states which are
able to produce. economically more
power than can be utilised within
their own borders. to send that pow-
er to the neighboring states. The
marketing of that power and the
handling and distributing of it
should. it appear to me. be handled
by a company or companies within
the state itself.
It probably might be desirable if
all the companies in each one of
the states could be linked together
that such a company would be de-
veloped. operated and managed from
and for the interest of Connecticut.
a very desirable situation might be
brought about.
