The Coal Supply

Our first responsibility to the public is the maintenance of un¬
limited and continuous service. In this we depend upon many
factors, human and material. Among the chief of the material
factors is an adequate supply of coal

Between 2000 and 2500 tons of coal are needed daily to pro¬
vide the recjuired steam for the generators of the Waterside
Stations of this Company. Large reserves are kept at all
times in the bunkers of these power plants and a still larger
reserve is retained at .Shadyside, New Jersey, where coal is
delivered by rail and water from no less than twelve different
mines

The great aggregations of power in the plants of this Com¬
pany insure what is of paramount importance—the most con¬
servative practicable use of coal. The effective results pro¬
duced from each pound of coal consumed under these condi¬
tions are from two to five times greater than is possible where
the generation of power is confined to small and inefficient
units. In other words, one ton of coal does the work of from
two to five tons consumed under the conditions usually pre¬
vailing in small power plants. Thus the Edison Service con¬
serves one of our great national resources
