Interdependence of Water-Power, Coal, Wood, Peat,Oil and Gas Within the last two days we have had recognized ex-perts describe the possibilities and proper functions of ourdifferent available fuels—coal, wood, peat, oil, and gas. Prac-tically every speaker has indicated their interdependence andtheir interchangeability of use. It remains for me to demon-strate the relation of white coal to all other fuel-poweragencies, and to point out that they must all coalesce inmeeting the fuel-power requirements of the country. To

Prac-tically every speaker has indicated their interdependence andtheir interchangeability of use. It remains for me to demon-strate the relation of white coal to all other fuel-poweragencies, and to point out that they must all coalesce inmeeting the fuel-power requirements of the country. To furnish a quick general summary birds-eye view ofthe white and black coal situation in Canada, and to indi-cate their integrity f have had several maps and diagrammaticstatements specially prepared for submission at this meeting. Pacific and Atlantic Provinces Self-Snstaining, but CentralProvinces Dependent for Coal Plate No. 1 represents the coal consumption and produc-tion in Canada. The tabulated statement on the top of the. Plate No. 1—Note Acute Fuel .Area. THE ELECTRICAL NEWS April 15, 101S plate summarizes the consumption in the various provincesIf tlie different classes of coals, both domestic and will observe the greatest consumption is in Central Can-ada, including the Provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, and Que-ec. Coal production is greatest in the extreme western andeastern provinces. British Columbia and Alberta, on the onehand, and Nova Scotia, on the other, not only meet their owncoal requirements, but produce a very considerable overplusfor consumption in the contiguous portions of Central Can-ada. The central provinces—Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec—are almost wholly dependent on outside sources, mainlyimported coals. This is clearly shown by the hatched areason the map, the horizontal hatching covering the areas whichproduce their own needs, the vertical hatching covering theareas which are dependent. Where there is cross-hatching,both Canadi
