I Theimal Plants
Coeld Provide
Lew-Cost Electricity
A recent article in the Anchor
age News quotes Phil Hols
worth, Territorial Commissioner
of Mines, as saying that large
j thermal plants could produce el
I ectricity at low cost for Alaska
while at the same time employ
ing many men in plant mainte
nance and in coal mines.
The commissioner’s report was
based on the Federal Power Com
mission 1953 annual supplement
on steam electric plant construc
tion cost and annual production
expense. A great number of Val
ley residents have long felt that
steam electric plants would be
possible in the local area be
cause of its proximity to the Mat
anuska coal fields.
Holds/worth, speaking at the
Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce earlier this month, said
that the 25,000 KW plant at
Scranton, Pa., built at a cost of
$3,500,000 burns 10,483 BTU coal
costing $4.68 per ton. Power is
produced for 4.4 mills per KWH,
28 men are employed for plant |
operation and 40 to 50 men the i
year around are needed for the
LEVERETT-FANCHER
NUPTIAL PLANS *
ARE ANNOUNCED
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fancher
of Palmer have announced the
coming marriage of their daugh
ter, Joan Madeline, to Jack Ger
ald Leverett of Palmer, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Leverett of
Sedro Wooley, Washington.
The wedding will take place
at 7 p. m. Sunday evening, June
10, at United Protestant Church j
in Palmer. A reception will fol- j
low at Elks hall. All friends of |
the couple are invited to attend
the ceremony and reception.
The bride-to-be is originally
from Chicago, 111., and graduated
this year from Palmer High
School. Her fiance is from Dal
las, Texas.
122,700 tons of coal used annually
there.
“Assuming that plant produc
tion cost and cost of coal per ton
at a mine in the railbelt would
be 50 percent higher than state
side, a plant of this size could
be built for $9,750,000 and pro
duce power for 6.6 mills per
KWH’’. It would provide a year
round payroll for 70 men.
