“
The existing conditions in recent years have served to emphasize the importance of vast extensions pf the high-voltage power networks for the reclamation water powers, the conservation of fuel and to enhance the economic use of existing s. s have, therefore, been engrossed in comprehensive studies of all essentials that relate to a nation-wide extension of electric power service. In these studies power transmission engineers who know the status of high-voltage s, and s have acquired the conviction that a decided increase in line voltage may now be undertaken with safety in new projects when warranted by economic considerations.
