D _Rression Will Continue Due
to Power Investment by
Farmers, Says Wyer.,
Probably no engineering e tiom
is more before the public tday
than that of electric power distri-
bution, said Samuel S. Wyr, con-
suting engineer of the Fue- Pov -
er-transportation Educa tion faun-,
dation, of Columbus, 0., speking;
yesterday in Natural Science Uudi-!
torium on "The Funcameitals Uca
Electrical Power Distribution."
"In the past 29 years, there has
been a physical acceleration in
civilization without parallel in his-
tory," Wyer said. "In the last
three-quarters c a century, we
have made more changes than in
all preceding time by substituting
natural resources for former mus-
cular efforts"
Only Small Part Used.
In spite of its rapid development,
he said, electric power is only a
small part of the total mechanical
'energy used. Even if all the avail-
able water power were harnessed,
the- amount of electricity produced
Would fall far below the amount
now necessary.
As an example of the effects of
power development, Wyer cited the
condition of the farmer today. "The
farmer's use of mechanical power
has been. greatly increased without
a corresponding increase in his in-
come," he said. The result is that
economic depression will continue,
hie remarked. "We shall have more
suffering in the next 10 years than
in the past 10," he said.
Energy comes practically from
fuel or from water power, he said,
and in the last seven years we have
revolutionized power plant design
raising the efficiency of fuel plants
so that more than 35,000 miners
have- been thrown out of employ-
ment.
. Cost of Generation Small.
The cost of generation is a re-
latively small part of power money
output, he said. About 67 per cent
of. the total cost to the consumer is
for the local distribution plants in
towns and cities.
"Water power, in general, re-'
quires greater investment t h a n
steam power," he said. "Easily
three-fourths of the water power
projects in the United States have
resulted in loss to investors. The
increased efficiency of coal steam
power makes it cheaper than hyd-
ro-electric power."
The average domestic consumer
uses electric power only a short
time during the day, Wyer remark-
ed. Twenty-four hour plant opera-
tion costs must be taken from one
or two hours of use. In a fair dis-
tribution system, the short-hour
consumer must pay more than the
facstory ovher wrho uses power con-
tinuously.
Rural Consumer Troublesome.
"Probably the most troublesome
factor in the present power pro-
ram is the rural consumer," Wyer
said. "Electric power would raise
the rural standard of living, but it
will always cost more to get electri-
cit-y to the rural home than to the
urban home." Furthermore, he
said, the income of the average
farmer does not permit installa-
t.ion of the usual labor saving de-
vicecs. This raises a definitie social
problem: Because of inability of
the young- farmer to provide con-
veniences, rural marriages will be
deferred, the birth iate will be de-
creased, and increass in birth rate
will appear 'among the lower cages
of humanity.
Electric power distribution in-
duces many such new social prob-
lems, he said. The public is contin-
ua lly misinformed with regard to
17o 'y e extensions. It is in the in-
teetof the public to have reli-
ablein ormation.
