CONSERVATION
PLANNED FOR
FUEL SUPPLY
NEW YORK, Oct. 28 (by Associated
Press).—Solution of the great after
war problems which confront the elec
tric light and power industry of the
United States, such as coal conserva
tion, electrification of railroads, water
power development and better public
relationship by reason of non-political
activity, has been undertaken by the
National Electric Light Association,
composed of 15,000 large and small
plants throughout the country, it is
announced by M. H. Aylesworth, for
merly chairman of the Colorado public
utilities commission, who has been
elected to give his entire time to the
project as executive aid to R. H. Bal
lard of Los Angeles, Cal., president of
the association.
"Our ambition,” said Mr. Ayles
worth, “will be to bring about the
highest development of efficiency and
economy in the light and power indus
try in the interests of the consuming
public. We shall endeavor to carry
out a national idea, uniform and sys
tematic, for better service by means
of education. The experiences of the
biggest plants in obtaining the best
results from coal and affecting other
economies of operation, for instance,
will be made availaDie tor me smallest
producers of current.
“We shall divide the United States
into geographical divisions. In these
divisions various local problems will
he taken up and there will be active
suggestions and advice from us, for
mulated by our engineers and mem
bers of the association who have
solved similar difficulties.
"Our organization will not be politi
» cal in any sense, neither will it be for
propaganda. On the contrary, it will
demand chat its member companies de
vote their entire time in the service
of the public and refrain from using
its influence 01 its revenues, the peo
ples’ money, for the advancement of
any candidate or any party. Us entire
object and scope may he embodied in
the words ‘better understanding and
better service.’ Each company will
retain its own individuality, as in the
past, but will co-operate in bringing its
mistakes to the light, and thus help
to correct them throughout tbs entire
industry.
We. will be in a position to give in
formation on all technical questions
which will produce better service in
every company in the country, regard
less of its size. One of the great prob
lems that must be solved will he that,
of the electrification of the railroads,
in the interest of coal conservation.
We have a committee of the leading
men in the industry, headed by Sam
uel Insull of Chicago, who will report
on that subject at our next convention
in Pasadena, Cal., in May, 1920.
