ORDERS USSR TINKER iNDiISTRY TO COfiSh~RVE ELECTRIC POWER
Electric power requirements of timber managements, rafting roadsteads, saw-
mills, tie-cutting plants, repair shops, and other enterprises of the Ministry
of;/Timber Industry aie increasing encrmously every year. While mobile electric
power plants of various capacities supply much of the requirement, d.emanda on
the regional power systems are growing.
The supervisors oP many erterprlsea do not pay enough attention to ques-
tions of ea?.ing power, utllizirg it rationally, and combating waste. Much
information has been cccumulated cn unproductive consumption and waste o.? elec-
tric power due to leas than full utllizar,ton of mar_hirery and less than full
work loads on equipment. Unneressary use of eiectrtc pover for heating pur-
poses has also not yet been eliminated
For the purpose of attaining strictly economical and rational utilization
of electric pover, Orlov, Minister of Timber Industry USSR, has issued an order ac-
cording to xhich the chiefs of all main admir,is+.ra+lons, the chief of Molotovlee
(Molutov Timber) Combine, and all union-repub:i- and autoromcub-republic MSnis-
ters of Timber Industry are charge3 with working out, and confirming by 1 Decem-
ber 1951 a plan Por each individual enterprise and organization to save power
and to raise the power factcr in 1952.
To implement the power cor^ervation program, all suggestions for saving
electric po~~:r, which were g-epcaed and fer which premiums were paid in all-
union competitions between X945 end 1950, must be put into efYect.
For enterprises receiving power from the system eP the Minis?ry of Elec-
tric Power Stations, the power factor must reach a level not less than 0.9.
Procedure has been established according to which copies of all plans
worked out and confirmed by main administrations and ministries for each enter-
prise to save electric power are sent to the Division oP the Chief Mechanic ana
Power Engineer, Ministry of Timber Industry USSR.

filavsnab (Main Administration of Material-Technical Supply) has been ordered
to supply enterprises xith ail materials and equipment necessary to save electric
power.
The scientific research institutes TeRIIME (Central Scientific Research
Institute of Mechanization and power Engineering in Logging) and TeNIIMUD
(Central Scientific Research Institute for Mechanical good processing) have
been ordered to prepare by 1 Septe'iber 1952 instructions Por setting up tech-
nically correct norms of electric paver coneiusptlon in the various production
~?, phases of the Min?ntry of Timber Industry:
According to the order, a change x111 be made in the present statute con-
cerning premium payments to industrial enterprise personnel to the effect that
premiums of power economy supervisory personnel will be cut 25 percent~for.non-
obeervance of established electric power ccrsumpt.ion norms an3 failure to meet
power conservation and power factor raising plans.
Electric power conservation is of enormous national. economic importance.
Successful results in this matter x111 be achieved only when all engi*eering
