STATION
AT BARLASTON
It is announced that the pro- posal of the North West Midlands Joint Electricity Authority to exect a generating station at Barlaston, near Stoke-on-Trent, has not re- ceived the approval of the Electri- city Commissioners. This decision has been reached after a pubic inquiry.
The growth of electricity con- sumption in the Potteries is such that a new station will certainly be required in 1943, a date which is sufficiently close to cause some anxiety to the Authority. Undoubt- edly the search for a new site will be successful. "Indeed, two alternatives

On the other hand, like most of that part of the country. they suffer from an absence of cooling- water facilties, and a point in favour of the Barlaston site was that the effluent from the Strong- ford sewage works of Stoke-on- Trent could have been used to provide make-up water for the THE MOST RELIABLE cooling towers,"
