Economical supply of electric power

The practicability of electric traction in the zone under contemplation. Table II is indeed a consolidation of interesting facts and I am pleased to note that he arrives at 14,000,000 tons of coal as the amount to be saved by electric traction over-steam which is 2,000,000 tons greater than the figures I have named in an approximate preliminary study of the situation. On the other hand, I think Mr. Potter has been conservative on his estimate regarding the maintenance figures as I believe the savings here will be much more rather than “more” in the amount he has named.
