Show Holland's Electrical Development. Reports from Holland show that electrical development is progressing rapidly there, including plans for electrifying elec-trifying the entire railway system of the country. While this project ha.s not been definitely decided upon, a commission, appointed to study electrification elec-trification In the United States and other countries, has reported favorably, favora-bly, recommending a system operated by a 1,500-volt direct current. The province of Zeeland, heretofore lacking lack-ing general electric service, is to be supplied by a concern financed jointly by the communities and the provincial government. The commission estimates esti-mates that the cost of similar service for the whole country would be approximately ap-proximately $2,280,000, of which $400,-000 $400,-000 has already been subscribed. The plan is for a gradual extension of ex-sting ex-sting service. Popular Mechanics Magazine. |
