POWER HEWS { I Plan to Relieve Chinese Power Shortage by 1953 Siianciiai: If the Chinese government approves the "United Power Plan" soon, Shanghai may have its serious electric power shortage cured by 1953. That shortage today stands at 60,000 kw--(he demand lood of installed man* ufaetaring equipment that cannot be operated because generating capacity is insufficient The project, fethered by Paul S Hop* kina, president of Shanghai Power Co, cells for the total investment of 122.2 million for installation of 100,000*kw generating capacity.' The extra 40,000* kw capacity would take core of ex* peeled expansion of industry. About $14 million will be required for purchase and transportation of plant equipment in the U. S. The remainder covers Chinese currency expenditures within China for construction ond labor. If and when the franchise b op* proved, it is proposed to seek a dollar loan from the U. S. government of $14 million. Bonds of the United Power Co will be delivered against loan advances. These bonds are to command all profits from the company until the amortise* tion is complete.

Many types of equipment and many specialized building op erations must be fitted into the pattern specified by the consulting engineer. Here, in the construction of power and boiler plants, the skill of the wilder can be the most important ingredient of efficient and success ful operation. Here, the specialists in power and boiler plant con struction can bo of greatest service to all industry. Oravo Corporation builds com plete power plants. Typical ex amples of Dravo-built power and boiler plants can be found in steel mills, food processing plants, oil refineries, Federal and Municipal institutions, automotive manufac turers, chemical processors. Many of these installations were built by Ornvo under contracts which in volved tola) responsibility for build ing and installation of equipment; other projects included installation of major items of equipment.
