An objection I may anticipate is that, after all, such large gen- erating plants would not be desirable with their huge smoke stacks, their discharge of gases, etc. , upon the atmosphere, their receipt of coal and their removal of ashes. I would reply that it is by no means necessary for such plants to be, as the stables... must be, right upon the main lines of travel. They would by decided preference be located near the water's edge, out of the way. Moreover, the stacks would be, as they are to-day in large electric light plants, high enough to carry off all smoke or smell far beyond perception. Perhaps the familiar smoke stack is not an aesthetic object, but it can be made so. There are steeples in this town that on the score of their beauty are not fit to compare with smoke stacks near them.
