Abstract :
TWO meetings of the entire committee were held during the year, one at the Philadelphia District Meeting on October 14, 1930, and the second at the Winter Convention in New York on January 28, 1931. In addition to the regular survey of immediate developments and problems in the scope of the committee, a continuing organization or method was adopted through which news items on the subject of power generation will be reported for publication in Electrical Engineering. Each member of the committee was asked to appoint some one of his business associates as a permanent news correspondent to represent his particular affiliation irrespective of membership in the future on the Power Generation Committee. The subject of interconnection continued to occupy the major attention of the committee, and especially of the Joint Interconnection Subcommittee on which Messrs. F. C. Hanker, F. H. Hollister, and A. E. Silver represented the Power Generation Committee. The formation of this subcommittee composed of members from the Power Generation, Power Transmission and Distribution and Protective Devices Committees, was predicted in last year´s report, and the subcommittee has functioned throughout the year under Mr. Hanker´s chairmanship not only to the fullest extent, but has also promoted a close working arrangement among the three main committees in dealing with a subject that has many common elements.
