The ST. Louis Recall Effort And Its Aftermath

AbstractSt. Louis has just gone through a valuable municipal experience in the effort to recall Mayor Henry W. Kiel for his mill tax‐franchise deal with the United railways company. It furnishes an interesting sequel to the developments in the street railway situation outlined by the same author in the “National Municipal Review” for November, 1918.

Sir John Wolfe Barry, K.C.B., F.R.S

SIR JOHN WOLFE BARRY, the eminent civil engineer, died on January 22, in his eighty-second year. The youngest son of Sir Charles Barry, R.A., the architect of the Houses of Parliament, he was educated at Trinity College, Glen-almond, and at King's College, London. He was a pupil of Sir John Hawkshaw, and afterwards for him assistant resident engineer on the Charing Cross and Cannon Street Railway. In 1867 he started in private practice.

The Future of Public Utility Investments

The expansion of public utilities and the enormous increase in public utility investments during the past twenty-five years have been among the most remarkable economic developments of a remarkable period in the nation's history. Street railways, electric light and power plants and telephone systems have multiplied in number and increased in size out of all proportion even to the rapid increase of urban population during this period. The development of gas plants has been more steady, but water works, representing for the major part municipal investments, have necessarily developed with great rapidity, since the growth of cities, and especially their crowding together in the more densely populated sections of the country, increases both the relative difficulty and the relative expense of securing adequate water supplies. In attempting to forecast the developments of the next ten, twenty or thirty years, we are met by many uncertainties. Assumptions must be made. The easiest ones to make are that the increase of the total population and the relative increase of the urban population will continue in the future to go along as they have in the immediate past and that the development of public regulatory policies will hold the even tenor of its way, regardless of war's alarms and the expected truculencies of the new breed of powder-and-shell millionaires created by the war. These are rather violent assumptions, but for the purpose of this discussion I shall make them, with the hope that any conclusions reached may be subject to easy modification by other people who think themselves in a position to make different and wiser hypoth-

The Power Company's Problem in the Electric Supply for Large Single-Phase Load

The position taken by the power company is that it should be able to supply all needs of energy in the community whether for industrial, street railway or trunk railroad use. The power company must also be able to supply energy of uniform pressure whether single-phase, two-phase or three-phase, at whatever voltage best suits the consumer. These conditions are best met by polyphase generating units, and three-phase units are almost universally adopted on account of the economy in transmission which they permit. When the demand for single-plhase current is heavy enough to produce an unbalance, some means of balancing must be provided in order to prevent reduction in the output of the generator, and also to maintain uniform voltage on all phases. Three methods of balancing are discussed; first, by equipping the generator field with damping devices; second, by the use of a separate machine similar to the three-phase induction motor; third, by means of a synchronous phase-balancer consisting of a two-unit machine, one of which transfers energy between phases and the other balances the voltage. Correction for power factor on each individual large consumer's line is suggested.

Feanchises of Public Utilities as They were and as They are

The developing and perfecting of what the real estate man calls modern conveniences and of those structures necessary for furnishing the means for the employment of these conveniences, which the publicist calls public utilities, have been so rapid and have become so necessary to every human habitation that public utilities and their franchises are receiving the widest publicity and attention as a great economic question. It is the purpose of this paper to consider only such utilities as are ordinarily within the limits of the municipality. Mr. D. F. Wilcox makes the following list of municipal utilities: electric light and power, telephone, telegraph, electrical signals, electrical conduits, water supply, sewerage, central heating, refrigeration, pneumatic tubes, oil pipe lines, and artificial and natural gas. To these the statutes of some of the states have added street railroads, storage and wharfage. We can better appreciate the relation of these utilities to the public and the engineer by knowing something of their history.
