World power conference

At a meeting of the International Executive Committee of the World Power Conference held in London, July 27–30, an invitation was presented by Dr. E. Tissot on behalf of the Swiss National Committee to hold the Second World Power Conference at Basle in 1926. It was considered advisable, however, to allow a longer period to elapse between plenary sessions. In the interval sectional meetings might be held, and it was decided that such a meeting should be held in Basle next year. The subjects recommended for consideration include the development of hydroelectric power combined with navigation, the financial and legal aspects of inter-exchange of electric power between countries, the economic relation between water power and thermal power, electricity in agriculture, and railway electrification. It was decided that, subject to reconsideration, the Second World Power Conference should be held in 1930. — World Power.
