Plan to link eastern power stations to save coal
Nathan C. Grover proposes a survey for the interior department to establish a single inter communicating electric power system across the eastern states from Washington to Boston. He says saving 30 million tons of coal annually could lower national coal prices and reduce living costs by making eastern manufacturers power 25 percent cheaper, while railroads would shift coal traffic to freight foods and other goods. General convention of power units in a few large stations would be more efficient than many small combustion plants.
