Grass V alle y Journal.
L E Coyle, writing from lone to
E E Porter, says, “I notice that the
light plant will be rebuilt, and am
wondering if they will install an
other gasoline outfit? Just tell
them for me that if they will inves
tigate the power question real thor
ough they will find out that there
is nothing in it. Last September 1
8[>ent about two weeks in Portland
and valley towns, investigating for
Ione, and learned that power can
be furnished cheaper, and as you
know, a great deal more satisfacto
ry with steam, than with gasolene,
by using crude oil for fuel, such as
the railway company use. I have
been thinking what an ideal 9|X>t
Grass Valley has for a plant of this
kind in the Park grounds, where
we know good water can be had very
cheap by using that spring. Fuel
oil would run by gravity from the
depot to a cistern built in the earth
to receive it near the plant. This
oil can be bought in Portland for
70c per bbl, in tank carB of 13,000
gallons, and three bids contain tho
same heat as one ton of coal. En
gine builders Inform us that from
6 to 7 lhs of coal furnish one horse
power for one hour, which is 285 h.
p. hours at $2.10, with fuel oil at
70c per bbl, now add the freight.
285 li p. hours with gasolene at 17c,
would make $7.12>£, $5 for freight,
and still saving cartage, $5.02.
“As your plant was insured for
$4 ,000 I see no reason why Grass
Valley should not have a better one
than ever from the same money.
Do not think I am trying to “butt
in.” I am just giving you the bene
fit of what I havo learned in the
way of generating power. We are
getting along very well here but ter
ribly overloaded and have trouble
of getting gasolene. Most of our
residence lights are on meter at .15
ot k. w. and that is by far the most
■atisfactory way. The wood pijie
they have here is simply no good
and in a short time will have to he
replaced with new of somo kind.
Aside from the pipe, Ione will have
a fine little system, when they get
a steam plant.”
