Discussion on “central station generation of power at mining centers” (Hunter) Ft. Wayne, Ind., February 2, 1911. (see proceedings for December, 1911)

J. Franklin Stevens (by letter): The question of “Central Station Generation of Power at Mining Centers” as presented by Mr. Hunter deserves more than passing comment. It treats of a matter of great economic interest which has long been neglected and, possibly, the reason therefor is that it presents no novel or difficult problems in an engineering sense. There are, however, other questions involved which possess great interest to engineers and capitalists.
