—North‘“WHkeslk>ro, branch ot
the puke Power companr to how
serving more rural homes than
urban, according to information
gained today from M. G. Bntnar,
branch manager.
On January 1 this year tihera
was a total of 1,600 homes on
the branch system and of thin
nnmber half were ontside the
corporate limits of North Wilken-
boro and Wilkesboro, which have
a combined population of more
than,5,000.
Although urban homes have
been connected this year at a
rate of an average of one every
two days the number of rural
homes with electric facilities at
the end ot the present calendar
year is expected to exceed urban
homes by around 200.
This increase in number of rur
al homes with electric facilities is
being brougiht about mainly by
over 40 miles of rural line exten
sions with 30T) new customers.
However, residential construction
along lines constructed prevloos
to this year has further added to
the number. It is estimated that
100 new homes will have, been .
construeted in the county along
the main highways during 1936.
The longest rural line under
construction tihis year is 15 miles
along the Yadkin between Wil
kesboro and Ferguson, with sev
eral branch lines along the route.
Nine miles will be coustructed a-
long highway 18 northward. Six
miles are beipg constructed from
highway '421 fti'to the Coiypy'
community and a branch line has
already been, completed south
ward from Mountain View toward
Roaring River. Three branch
lines were approved in the Gll-
reath and Pores Knob communi
ties on the Brushies.
.Much interest has been shown
by rural people in their efforts
to obtain power facilities and
Duke Power company has coope
rated by approval ot all proposed
lines where reasonable returns
could be realized from the invest
ment.
