There is a sound of grandeur about the announcement that comes from Atlanta, that the Chattahoochee river is to be harnessed, anil 30,000 horse power sent by electricity to that city to convert' it into a great manufacturing centre. The plans are all ready, the highest engine r- ing talent engaged, the capital secured, lands and rights bought, and “exhaustive investigation" made as to the capacity of the river in dry seasons, and it has been fully ascertained that the first dam to be built ot wood, forty-seven (47) feet above the bed-rock of the river, and 875 feet long, will give 14,600 horse power, and the second dam to be built later on, details no , given, will supply an additional 15,- Empower if?o £ loTw the Atlanta Co.; the first nXstroXct^Zi t 8 h e e Ve c"mpany^s already proposed to furnish electric light to the city. The published statements are so positive, with photographic collaterals, it would seem presumptuous to question them, Hut being somewhat of an inquir- ing disposition, It occurred to me to make a few figun s to ascertain if all lids is to The Chattahoochee and Apalachicola r j vors are 550 miles long. Columbus is located 360 miles above the mouth. On an alr 1|ne Atlanta is 95 miles north-east of Columbus, and by river line 115 miles, " r miles above the mouth, or seventy- *l ve miles above its source. m ’a! longea. A branch creek, larger tlmn e river above the confluence, pro a y g a total drainage river lengrt of about 11.. would appear m'^minenhat the ES water passing Atlanta from 115 miles above, is prodably about one-half as great as passes Columbus trom ‘230 miles of river drainage. Familiarity with (he Chattahoochee river at both places sat¬ isfies me that this is about the propor- tion of water in the river, one-half as much near Atlanta as passes Columbus, No “exhaustive investigation extend¬ ing back over a long period of years,” is required as to the water power at Co- lumbus. I have a number of times seen the entire volume of the river, in very dry seasons, used by the water wheels of the mills of this city, under an average head and fall of about. 16 feet. The pow¬ er in the mills here thus using up entire¬ ly the water of the river in very dry seasons, may be stated at about 3,000 horse power at 16 feet fall. A dam at Atlanta, 47 feet above bod rocks of river, will likely have about 4U feet effective head, or two and e ha quaaftiUes o^water'as^used a^Columbus. If the volume of the river at Atlanta were equal, this would Rive the first dam, to be at once constructed 7 1-2 mfles from Atlanta in very dry seasons 1,500 horse power, but with only one-halt the, amount of cubic feet of water flowing over it, the actual dry season power that can be had from this proposed 47 feet high dam, will l>e 3,750 horse power, or about one- half of the actual water power already developed and used at Augusta, Ga. Electric transmission is always at a loss in power efficiency. The primary generator, the seven miles of wire trans- mission, and the final motor, will incvl- tably lose fully 25 per cent, of the net power given out by the water wheels. In this case, this loss will amount to 937, and leave Tor the City of Xtlanta a net power of 2,812 horse to distribute to manu- facturing establishments, or in electric light. The primary investment for the first dam and accessories is to $809,(100 °f which $100,000 is to lx- paid up capita , and presumably $700,000 of bonded debt. When this $800,000 has been expended, an(! this 2,813 horse power is electrically transmitted to the city, the expense ac- count of the Atlanta Electric Power Co.., will probably be about as follows: $800,000 invested, at 6 per cent.- per annum ................................. $48,000 2 1-2 per cent, wear and tear on same .................................. 20,000 Salaries, running and general ex¬ penses ................................. 15,000 --- Fixed charges to la- paid annually $83,000 This equals a cost to the company of $29.50 per each horse power sold.

As the steam power now used in the larger mills of Atlanta costs less than $29.50 per horse power, Atlanta should induce foreign capital to make this in- vestment, INVESTIGATOJt. . The New Yorkers.
