It is just a fact. Altogether taxes charged to our electric and bus operations last year were $5,568,763. That's approximately 31 cents out of every dollar taken in. It is 2V] times the Company's operating payroll, or more than three times the divi dends paid stockholders. Taxes on our electric business alone amounted to $3S().- 172 MORE than all the money received from ALL our residential and rural custo mers during the entire year. The Company is a taxpayer . . . not a drain on the public treasury. WHAT INVESTORS EARNED ou. d ne. mcem. stockholders, whose money made this enterprise possible, received $1,730,225 on their investment in the Company. These folks, who have taken the financial risk, received over two-thirds LESS last year than the tax collectors. After pay ing dividends out of net income, $619,889 remained. This was transferred tc surplus. ON UNCLE SAM'S TEAM sse of our employees have been inducted into military service. Seven oi this number have made the su preme sacrifice. The employees at home are ])usy supplying electric service to many military camps, war industries and other war projects, in addition to meet* ing increased normal requirements oi our regular customers. WHO ARE INVESTORS 8,328 stockholder., throe-lourlh. of whom live in the Carolinas, own all of the Company's Preferred Stock. The National Power & Light Company, which has been ordered by the Security and Exchange Commission to divest itself of its holdings in the Carolina Power & Light Company, owns all of the common stock of the Company. Eleven in surance companies, all of witich do business in this area, own all the bonds of the Company. If you have an insurance policy, chances are part of your money has l^en invested in Carolina Power & Light Cohipany securities. WE RE LOOKING AHEAD When the war is over, the Carolina Power & Light Company will have plenty oi electric power to meet the needs of peace. Surveys made by the Company indicate that there will be a large peace-time demand for electricity by customers in all classifications. There will be plenty of oower to meet all such demands, be it for a small resi dence or a large industry. CAXOSIMA VOWXtR I.1CHT COMPAMY AVERAGE RATE CONTINUES DOWN The average price for residential electric service in 1944 was approximately 2.7 cents per kilowatt-hour. That means the average price in 1944 was actually less than before the war . . about haH what it was ten years ago . . . less than a third the average price of twenty years ago. Throughout the nation as a whole, the average price for residential electricity last year v/as about 29 per cent above the average price paid by residential customers of this Company. R. B.
