In addition to this the bulletin says that the Pacific Gas & Electric company, of San Francisco, has completed a 37, 500 KW steam plant that delivers electricity to the distri bution lines of the company cheaper than its hydro plants situated at some distance from the city. This information comes as a surprise to the uninitiated'" wu" "iiovcd that the overflow i iii ia .i . . i. -In tributary streams swollen by layman who has been quick to assume that free water would 'heavy rainfall had passed, and that produce cheaper electricity than expensive fuel, but it prol)-!"" possibility of high water ami ably has its explanation in the more rapid advance in scienti fic utilization of fuel heat units and in the inability thus far to reduce the losses in electricity when carried a long dis tance over high transmission lines. The electrical engineer has learned much about the use of coal nnd oil as fuel in the last few years and he has apparently surpassed the advan tages of generating by hydro-electric methods. This would not indicate, we think, that our water power resources will cease to be of value. It does indicate, how ever, that much progress must Ixs made in using this re source to a more economical advantage.
