Fp /fricity Use Up , Cost jwn For Town of Murphy Board Pays $15,517 In Taxes To Town The amount ot electricity used In Murphy Is at an all-time high, and the cost is the lowest ever, according to a special report Issued today by the Town of Murphy Electric Power ? * "We're very proud of last year's progress." John Bay less, Manager of the system said. "When the electric uti lity closed its books on fis cal year 1960, we particularly noticed the increase in resi dential usage, making Murphy one of the outstanding examp les of how people use elec ricity to live better." Bayless stated that total sales to all consumers reach ed 25,355,000 kilowatt-hours. "The average annual home use climbed above 10,000 kwh for the first time," Bayless said, "and the average cost per kilowatt-hour dropped to 9/10 of a cent. Comparing Murphy with some other cit ies in the country, it's easy to see that our town is a leader in the usage of elec tricity. The national average home use Is only about 3,500 kilowatt-hours a year, and the cost average nationally is well over two cents per kwh." Last year, commercial ac counts purchased a total of 4,999,000 kwh, and industrial sales stood at 9,324,000 kwh. (See page 5 for the report.) "We were particularly happy to contribute $15,517 in taxes to the town for community services and bene fits," Bayless said. "And we're proud, too, of the growth and Increased value of the municipally - owned electric utility." I "Certainly, a dependable, low cost, plentiful supply of electricity Is a valuable fac or to any city's progress," Bayless concluded. "Here In Murphy, that kind of power is put to good use."

PLEASE SAY YES 70THE NEW At MCM OF D/MES. Hodges Seventh Tor Heel To Get Top Cabinet Post uutner rt. noages is some thing of a departure for North Carolinians in the cabinet. As secretary of commerce, he is the seventh Tar Heel to reach the top circle of presi dential advisors. He Is the first outside the military sphere. Five others were secretaries of the Navy, and one had a brief turn as secretary of war. Both these jobs now have been consoli dated under the secretary of defense. Like two of his prede cessors, Hodges came to the Washington assignment after serving as governor of his state. Another had been a con gressman. One was a judge. One was a newspaper editor. One was a lawyer, and had served in the department which he headed as a cabinet officer. These are the Tar Heels who became cabinet members: John Branch of Halifax, first of five North Carolinians to serve as Secretary of the Navy, was appointed in 1829 by President Andrew Jackson. George E. Badger of New Bern, brilliant lawyer and superior court judge, named Navy secretary In 1841 by President Benjamin Harrison. William AlexanderGraham of Hlllsboro had served both as governor and U. S. Senator when President Millard Fill more made him secretary of the Navy in 1850. James C. Dobbin of Fayet teville, forceful orator and legislator, was appointed by President Franklin Pierce in 1853 to head the Navy De partment. The next North Carolinian to become a cabinet officer was Josephus Daniels, Ral eigh newspaper editor, who became secretary of Navy under President Woodrow Wilson In 1913. Kenneth C. Royall of Golds - boro, an under secretary of war, stepped up to head the department for a few months under former President Harry S. Truman. It was in the year 1947, when the armed forces were merged into the depart ment of defense. Royall, the only living for mer cabinet member from North Carolina, remained in the sub-cabinet post of Army secretary for a couple of years. Royall, 66, nowprac tices law in New York City. Other men born in North Carolina who spent theirlives elsewhere have been cabinet members. A case In point is David F. Houston, a native of Monroe, who was living in Missouri when he was ap pointed secretary of agri culture In President Wilson's cabinet.
