Hart IN VALUE OF STEAM Alabama Power Company Now Operating Four bteam Power Plants "It Is very fortunate for Alabama and very fortunate for the otto: mills and other Industries of the Caroltnas as much as 600 miles UU-Unt from Birmingham that Alabama has steam plants auxiliary to its water plants to supply electric powet at a period when we not only have a low stage of water In the rivers, but also a car shortage preventing many plants from securing coal for fuel," said W. E. Mitchell, aosistant general manager of the Alabama Power Company.

"At this tim the Alabama Powei Company Is operating four steam lower plants as follows: "The Oorgas plant on the Warrior with a capacity of 75,000 horsepower. "The federal plant at Muscle Shoals with a capacity of 90,000 hors power. 'The local plant of the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power com pany with a capacity of 10,000 horsepower. "We are sending about 35,001 horsepower per diem from these plants to cotton mills and other in dustries In North and South Caro Una through connecting lines. Some of them are as far away as C0C miles.

We are sending power tc Greenville and Spartanburg, S. C. thence as far east as Raleigh, N. C. and as far north as Greensboro anc Henderson, N.

C. Coal Market. "While we are serving where coal cannot serve on account of the rai shortage, we are helping out- the coal market to the extent of tons a day, which we are consuming In steam plants. We mine coal al the Gorgas plant in our own mine but we are purchasing 60 per cont ol our coal requirements in the opee market. "We are not only saving Alabama industrial operations through opera tion of the auxiliary steam plants but we are repeating the neighborly service of last fall when the Caro lina mills appealed to us to let then have, power lest they shut down.

Closing down of these mills wouM be particularly disastrous at a time when full operations are warranted by the demand for their product. "What we did last year in saving the Carolina textile industry and In keeping our own mines and mills going during a low stage of water in the livers, will probably be' repeated every autumn when the rivers run low and there is a minimum ol hydroelectric power.
