Distribution to supply increasing load densities

C. A. Heinze: Mr. Crawford assumes as an ultimate load density in his residential areas approximately 6250 kw. per sq. mi. He has used some figures that apply apparently to Seattle, which possibly may not apply to other cities. The number of houses per block, and the number of blocks per square mile-those are local conditions. The ratio of apartment houses and flats to single residences determines the load density for residential consumers. Studies of the conditions as they exist in Los Angeles show that it is reasonable to expect future load densities of 2500 kw. per sq. mi. for single residences, 6000 kw. per sq. mi. for flats and 19,000 kw. per sq. mi. for apartment houses. The actual load density in any square mile will be determined by the ratio between the different classes.
