SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1951 YHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN New Steam Generator vill Ease Hydro Electric power from Canada's largest steam generating station is now flowing into Hydro's Southern |. Qntario network. Officially open- ed at noon Friday by Premier Leslie M. Frost, the mammoth dichard L. Hearn plant will ulti- mately produce 400,000 kilowatts (536,000 horsepower) to help meet cnrushing demands for electricity 'rom all classes of customers. Culminating two years of intense construction activity, and employ- .ng- the skills of 1,200 men, the $67 million project on Toronto's water- front--named to honor Ontario's Hydro's General Manager and Chief Engineer--is the tenth major power source added to the Commission's system in the past four years. In the presence of business and govern- ment leaders, and the large staff of workmen who made the giant structure a reality, the Ontario Premier closed the switch to set the first generating unit in motion. Lauding the Commission, its contractors and staff, the Premier stated that Hydro had tackled an enormous job with vigour and skill. Its $880 million program of new plont construction, he said, dem- onstrated beyond all doubt that electric power is Ontario's lifeblood. Hydro hairman Robert H. Saunders paid warm tribute to Mr. Richard B. Hearn, whom he des- cribed as "one of the continent's most brilliant engineers." with power demands mounting steadily, Mr, Saunders pointed out, every day counted in pressing for- ward with plants still under con- struction. . Ontario's present peak demand exceeds the peak demand of two years ago by over 30% and exceeds the peak wartime demand by 55.5%. The welcome relief pro- vided by steam plant installations, he stated, is offset by the higher costs of steam generation. In pro- ceeding with Commission recognized the need for more and more power, as quickly as it could bs made available--and steam generation offered the most rapid solution. He compared the relatively short two-year period in which it had been possible to be- gin operation of the Richard L. Hearn station, with three to five years for hydro-electric develop- ments of comparable size. "From the standpoint of -cost," Mr. Saunders cautioned, "under pres- ent conditions, it is estimated that the cost Of generating power from steam stations is at least 21: times as much as the expected cost of generating power on the proposed St. Lawrence Development." Mr. Saunders said that the three remaining units of the new Hearn plant would be brought into ser- vice progressively--in December of this year, November of 1952, and he Spring of 1933. "As a safeguard, we even made provision for 'a fifth and sixth unit," he observed, "but we sincerely hope that a favour- able decision on the St. Lawrence will make i$ unnecessary to proceed with costly sieam plant additions." Output of the new station in To- ronto will assist materially in carry- ing the present heavy loads and coping with gradually rising de- mands in this heavily-industrial- ized area. The first and third units will generate power at 26 cycles, but will be readily convertible to 60- cycle operation when the Frequency Standardization program reaches Toronto. The second and fourth units will produce 60-cycle power as coon as they are placed in service. From a construction standpoint, 'he new Richard. L. Hearn station '5 tremendous. The 57-acre site of .he development includes storage 'acilities for 800,000 tons of coal, ond is accessible to abundant water cupply from Lake Ontario. Each unit consumes 108,000 gallons of -;ater per minute (155,000,000 gal- "sns per day). This exceeds by 000,000 gallons the highest daily ater consumption ever recorded in ' '>ronto's history. The building it- 21, 600 x 210 feet, stands on 600 c-npressed concrete piles each 20 jaches in diamenter. Each of the four steam generators will be 120 faet high (the approximate height ¢. a ten-storey office building), and fired by coal pulverized to the fin- e.; talcum powder. Each unit when operated at full capacity, will con- sume 40 tons of coal per hour. Mere than 95% of the soot and fly-ash from flue gas will be removed be- fore being discharged from the chimneys. Generally speaking, smoke discharge will not be visible. "This new neighbour on the To- ronto waterfront," Mr. Saunders stated, "embraces the very latest in engineering design and: techni- al operation. Every effort has been made to construct a steap station that would be the finest of its kind anywhere. Initial operation of the Richard I. Hearn station begins a chain of three new plant openings scheduled Zor this year. In November, first power will be delivered by another steam station in Windsor -- the 264,000 = kilowatt (365,000 - horse- power) J. Clark Keith Generating Station; and in December, the first two units of the Otto Holden plant on the Ottawa River (at LaCave 'near Mattawa) will be placed in service. The Holden plant will event- ually generate 182,000 kilowatts ° (257,000 horsepower) in: eight um- its. Last of the Commission's con- struction projects at Niagara Falls, is the gigantic Sir Adam Beck- Niagara G.S. No. 2, which is scheduled for initial operation in 1954. Its output under present au- thorization in full operation, will ' be 700,000 horsepower, the ultimate will be 1,200,000 horsepowgr. With power demands reaching near-record levels, Mr. Saunders stated that no stone will be left unturned in the Commission's ef- forts to make more power available. As an example of the upward swing in the demand curve, he cited the Southern Ontario System figures for Tuesday, October 23rd, 1951-- on this day an all-time record was established in Primary demand, the actual demand being 2,502,800 kilo- +wtts (3,354,950 horsepower) an in- crease over the corresponding day last year of 484,960 horsepower, van steam plants, the L WILLIAM DEWLAND Joint team tain for the d of the city in the Community Chest Campaign. ict PALMS READ moor [INT "I already know his future.

"Rising power demands," Mr. Saunders asserted, "are a barometer of Ontario's flourishing economy. We are glad to set power demands soaring, and we are glad to know that we are getting in a much more favourable position to meet them. But if we are to do a real job | for the people of Ontario--giving i them plenty of power at low cost, we cannot hope to do it through the building of more steam plants. that can give up low-cost power: the St Lawrence, with its potential 1,100,000 horsepower for On'ario." Present estimates of the Com- mission, the Chairman said, show [that demands can be met up to the lend of 1956. After that, the Com- | missioff stands at the cross-roads if the St. Lawrence is not available, "It would be a tragedy," Mr. Saunders added, "!f the St. Law- forced to abandon our historic position as a Province offering low- cost power to all who want it.

Both were very lucky as neither one was hurt although both were badly shaken up.

Beef Cattle Will Be In Limelight At Winter Fair Beef cattle will be more in the limelight at this year's Royal Agri- | cultural Winter Fair, which takes place Nov. 13-21. Judging of the grand champion steer and the King's Guineas steer, the main features of the beef cattle show, will be moved to the Royal's large arena on the after- noon of Monday, Nov. 19. In past years these events have taken place in the fair's small arena, where both ring facilities and seat- ing accommodation have proved | inadequate. | The move to the big arena will mean that the afternoon horse show will be cancelled for the day. Some horse show classes will be | moved tothe morning of Nov. 19 |and some breeding horse classes il be transferred to the exercise ring, Loss of revenue for the fair through the cancellation the horse show matinee will be about $1,800, but officials of the Royal say the loss will be orth while as adequate judging facilities will now be available for these events. Selection of the two champion- ship steers is one of the highlights of the fair. Last year's grand championship steer, chosen irom among all breed champions at the Royal, was a Shorthorn that later brought $1,861.90 in an auction. An Aberdeen Angus King's Guineas steer brought $1,680. or $2 a pound Shen it was auctioned after judg- g. The King's Guineas, worth about $160. came from a fund created by King Edward VII, when he was Prince of Wales.
