We don’t build plants to run
electric toothbrushes.
We build them to power jobs.
An electric toothbrush uses an average of
one-half kilowatt-hour a year. That's not very
important. But what about your job? It
probably depends on having enough electric
ity. To run machines. To light working areas.
And to heat or cool space for workers.
There must be enough electricity avail
able for every home and industry, every
school, business and hospital even traffic
lights. In addition, we have to plan for the
peak load that time when the most elec
tricity is being used. It’s usually in August,
when air conditioners are working hardest.
And at the rate Georgia has been growing,
we'll be hard put to meet tomorrow’s needs.
The hundreds of millions of dollars were
investing, and must continue to invest in con
struction. all go for one purpose: to assure
enough electricity for everyone. For impor
tant things. Like homes and jobs.

insure the new building is
adequately equipped with
utilities and support facilities
necessary to ccomodate
sophisticated medical
equipment programmed for
installation in the medical
center during fiscal years
1975-76.
The funds, which increase
the total construction price tag
to over $33 million, will also
incure the new complex meets
all building coe requirements
which have taken effect since
the hospital was originally
designed in the 1960’5.
According to Major David
Kitchin, construction project
officer, the modifications are
not expected to delay the
planned occupancy date of the
new center. “We feel that with
proper coordination, there will
not be any significant change
in the time frame regarding our
move to the new medical
center. It looks as if about
December of this year or
January, 1975, is the time we
will actually move patients.”
Kitchin says.
The project officer notes
“these are things that have
been brought to light before
and need to be corrected
because of technology
changes.”
Planners say immediate
modification of support
facilities will allow easier
installation of new equipment
in the future. For instance,
according to Kitchen, “We are
primarily looking at the
diagnostic radiological area as
being a major concern at this
time. With the change in the
utilities and electrical power
connections, then the
equipment installations
required can be made with
significant ease.”
Included in 14 proposed
improvements to the building
are numberous safety features
brought about by new building
codes, installation of a high
capacity fuel storage tank, and
several modifications of the
center’s electrical power
system.
