' . - y ?; Prosecuted with diligent effort since its launching in May, 1939, our Committee's "clean up or close up ' ' campaign in North Carolina has won the praise and support of law enforcement of ficers, the press and public. During the past 2 I months the state's beer industry has proved its sincerity of purpose by a consistent record of direct action and results. The record: 1,537 retail beer outlets investi gated; 203 warrted fbjmprove conditions We reported 176 to the authorities for action; as a result 121 licertses were revoked, 10 plac?d on probation, 2. surrendered their licenses, and 25 license renewals were refused. ?, We promise there will be no let-up in our efforts during 1 94 11 ^BP^yERS-fliND NORTH CAROLINA - -tt /bl^TSIBUTORS COMMITTEE 1 I I EDGAK n.

I Observations 1 X 4 ?y W. K. HHKI.TON ? [ 'A PROBI.EM PACKS THK TOWN BOARD" Mr. McPher sou, Mr. Lyman and ? Mr. Rey nolds, Indus trial engineers and representa tives of the Carolina I'ower and Light Coin- j pany were pre sent at t h e j meeting last Friday night ol ? im Mie town board. Shelton It hag been proposed by these gentleman and the utility company they repre sent. that Louisburg buy ii"'s"elec- | trie current from them at a price approximating one and one-third rents pisr WHowaet hour-,- ?t the switchboard. No decision has as yet been made by our capable commissioners but an answer must be rendered soon. For Boiuellme now ths commis sioners Ijdve been facing. the fact that> Louisburg is using more and more current every year and the continuous problem of power gen orating ability to meet this in creasing demand is forever on their doorsteps. Some lime ago the board purchased a new deisel, bringing the total number of en gines to four. At that time it was believed t>he power generating capacity of the municipal plant would take care of the electric needs of this town for many years to come. That, however. was many mont>hs ago ' Statistics are generally ntther boresoine, but you citizens who are mindful Ol the future welfare of your town heed these ligures well. In 1 9 5 t'he municipal po wer plant generated 837,000 killi wa.ttu; 1936 ? 928.800 kw.; 1937 ? 1,037.600 kw.; ' 1938? 1.123, .">00 kw.; 1939 ? 1, "18. 000 kw. These figures prove one point in part icular ? thai the eurrent eon sumption of the town is rising by an average of olte hundred thous and killowatt hours per year. This steady increase in consumed cur rent again brings to the boards threshold the threat that t lie nlant will be nnnblp to meet the lutnre requirements of the town '.vithoul additional purchases of expeu^ive_illeacl^electrlc genera I - ing equipment. For our current consumption today the municipal plant is ade luate. Tomorrow brings anoth er story. If an industrial plant should ever desire to locate here the town wonitl. have to tell them. "Sorry, gentlemen, but we caituot supply you wltli current-.' If the contracts are signed with C. P. & L. no such problem would ever arise. The supply el available power would be unlimited. Forget, for awhile, the even tuality of an industrial plant- lo cating here and coiisidei the needs of the town itself. Here again the future proposes l-he problem of supplying the demand. Note the statistics again and you will find the starMing fact .that, "that is the present increasing demand for current keeps pace with the last five years, in two and one- 1 half to tihree yearS^the demand j for electricity will have DOU- 1 RLED over the requirements in 1 1935." Note again that general- ! ed klllowato hours in 1940 exceed- 1 ed 1939 by 160,000! The great-: est increase of any year. Through efficient management, j and through a close and accurate accounting system the switch board cost of generating power has dropped from 1.38 per kw In 1936 to 0:8$ in 1940. That how ever is only the switchboard cost. The delivered cosl< brings out an other interesting fact when this cost is 2.48. Where does the dif ference in switchboard and deliv ered cost lie? The answer to tihis is, the purchase and installa tion of generating equipment and the maintenance of delivery lines. Here again the eternal problem Directs Campaign This is an artist's sketch of Coloae: ? cigar H. Bain of Goldsboro who supervises the beer industry's "clean up or close up" campaign In his capacity as state director of the Brewers and North Carolina Beii Distributors committee >. rears, it's ugly head While the j town can generate current cheap er than it can buy electricity Irom the, utility. It cannot continue to l)\iy Bnglnt'B and to meet the increasing demand with out) paying a sum nearly twice that asked by the utility for each klllowatt hour. Mr. McPherson. Mr. I.yiiun and Mr. Reynolds have prepared a re port . nil the local nlant wil.li. u ' view of discontinuing it's use when current is purchased whole- | sale from the utility company. If ? the local plant* were closed it was proposed that the two small die- I Bel be kept for emergency or standby duty. Tin- two larger mi gines could be readily sold, "as with t'ho boom in defense, diesel elertric generating quipment 1h in i great demand. Comes now. n n other problem to harass our al ready over-harassed commission- ; ers. The power plant represents un. investment' nf about $50,00?; ; !f current were bought from tile P. & L. then only about 50% it that investment could be sal vaged and two or possibly three men would be out of jobs. In re- ; buttiU-tw this the utility men agree - To? XTyTOTStf T7Ie~Iovvn engines and offer a Job to one of the men 'now employed at the power plant. If current were purchased the saving in fuel oil nlt>ttr> would be a considerable sum as the plant u?es approximately 128.001) gal lons per year.
