State Fuel Administration
Considers Project of Link
ing All Dynamos
The annual saving or 800)000 tons ol
coal and obviating transportation of
1,000,000 tons are planned by the Penn.
sylvanla fuel administration by linking
power plants so that coal may be usetj
at the mines to generate electricity,
which will be transmitted Instead of th
fuel.
William Potter. State fuel ndmlnlstra.
tor. In explanation of the project Issued
this statement:
'Knglnecrs, who have been busy far
several months surveying the mine-power
I Project, have reported to this admin.
j istrallon enormous savings that can
be effected by Interconnection of exist,
ing plants to the territory that It Is
proposed to senc with the mine-power
project. It Is estimated that It wll
require 800,000 kilowatts to operate In.
dustrlcs ln the so-called war zone, whlclf
Includes eastern Pennsylvania, Jtary.
land. Ohio, Delaware, New York and
possibly a part of New England.
Mean HIr Saving
"Engineers estimate that the sav.
Ings that can be effected will amount
! ' 129,000 kilowatts minimum, and a
maximum of 150,000. Tho amount ol
money that would otherwise be ln
nested that can be diverted by thin
method would be more than enough tc
pay for the high voltage transmission
lines, step-up transformers nnd step,
down transformers, together with thl
buildings required lo house the equip
ment.
"The generating of from 200,000 to
50,000 kilowatts at the mine will result
ln a net saving of transporting 1,000,001)
net tons ot coal annually from the mlnei
to Industries. This saving In railroad
transportation would bo more than
enough to pay for tne Investment in
transmission lines. The transmission
would thus fulfill two functions, either
one of which Independently would b
more than sufiTcIent to Justify the In
