[Vol. XXVII. No. 2. POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION ON THE SYSTEM OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY—II The electrical distribution problem confronting the PublicService Corporation of New Jersey after its acquisition inJune, 1903, and subsequently, of what were fifty odd plantssupplying electric light, power and railways, has been enor-mous. Twenty central stations and twenty-four sub-stationscomprised the list of active plants, and some of these had pre-. MAP OF NEW JERSEY, SHOWING TERRITORY COVERED BYTHE PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION viously replaced a multitude of others since the history of ap-plied electricity began. The following article gives the capacity and equipment ofthe more important present active stations which are used inwhole or in part for supplying the railway end: The newlycompleted plant of 13,000 kw capacity at Marion, N. J., withits provision for enlargement to 64,000 kw, which was de-scribed in the last issue of the Street Railway Journal, is anearnest of the units of high economy to be located at tidewaterpoints. Thus the future will develop the further abandon-ment of the comparatively inefficient smaller stations and the increase of sub-stations for the supplying of electric light,power and railway energy. An outline map of the State of New Jersey is given herewith,upon which the territory served by the electric lighting andpower station is divided into three groups. For convenience
