BECAUSE of emergency priorities on copper wire and other materials essential to our country s defense effort, we are obliged to alter our practice with respect to extension of service to locations not on existing distribution lines. Priority rules coverinq use of materials make iA oortar.t that anyone who contemplates building on a sue *• • » even a short distance removed from existing distribution lines should discuss with us in advance of starting to build, the question of availability of Picric Service. In other words it Is nece'sary that vo- HRST find out whether we are allowed, und=r priority rulings, to make the required Electric Service extension. This change In polio' is cine not +n any shortage of electric power In Virginia F'ectric and Power Company served territory, but to a shortage of materials necessary to de fense. If is our desire to co-operate fully with the Govern ment in the defense program, and to that end we are appealing in this way to all prospective builders for their help in living up to the? spirit as well as the letter of al! emergency rulings governing use of materials.
