Show BELIEVE COPPER IS TO GO TO TWENTY We wore told two rear ago bv one of the largest electrical engineering tlnns In the 1 nifed Pi.ites thai the electrillca-Uon electrillca-Uon pi.-itic of the railroads ;t that time Involved Ihe expenditure of 6850.000,000, but that probably several veer WOUld be necessary to bring ih plans to fruition. The plans are apparently now near the fruition Mtase. for we hear of many electrification elec-trification plans under serious consideration, considera-tion, but the question nf the supply ol copper Is very pertinent, 1 niess this work Ip undertaken verj gradually there will not be sufficient .upper for tin wot k. There sr mnnv students of the enppi metal market who -Hlev that within a few e-irH onper will be at s figure whi h would prohlbfl it. une except for electrical elec-trical expansion. Twenty-cent copper would in no way Interfere with electrical elec-trical plans, though It would cut off construction con-struction consumption. Which would le.ive the copper for electrification.
