No. 2,946 INCREASE IN ELECTRIC LIGHTS Fifty Per Cent of All Village* With Less Than 250 Copula tion .Now Have Current. One of tin- most notable feat ures of tlie development of elec trie service during the past five years is its rapid spread to small communities and villages. 1 niormation recently compil ed by the National KL'ctric Light Association shows that more than 4,000 towns and vil lages have been reached for the first time with electricity since 1 an increase of 26 per cent. \\ hat is even more interesting is the tact that they are receiv ing the same high quality enjoy ed by only the large cities. Elec tris service is rapidly becoming universal. Phery city and tow.i in the I nited States with a pop ulation of 5,000 or more; 1)7 per cent of communities with pop ulations of from 1,000 to 5,000; oyer 50 percent of all hamlets with less than 250 population are now reached by the copper wires of the light and power companies. An important contributing factor to this great spread of electric service is the rapid growth of interconnection. \\ ithout interconnection liter ally thousands of these com munities would either be with out any service whatsoever or would have it for only a feu hours at best. The transmission lines of an interconnected system form a net work covering a consider able amount of territory. The result is that continuous 24- hour service, the same service that is being received by the large cities in the territory, is available to small villages and ham'ets and is rapidly extend ing to the, farming districts Many of these small communi ties could not possibly support a local plant. The investment requirements for such a plant would be entirely too great for the small amount of business it would receive. The rates would be so high that but few could possibly afford it. Interconnection, bringing with it the electrification of practically every town of 1,000 population or more also makes possible the decentralization ol" industry. From a power stand point the small town has equal opportunity with the large city. Decentralization of industry bene,fits the farmer by creating close-by markets for many of his products. The rapid indus trial development of the South during the past few years and the general improvement in the condition of the farmer and the small town has been due in a large measure to the increase of interconnection and electri cal development. Again, interconnection gives the small community fuller pro tection against interruption of service. When the small town isolated power plant shuts down because of storms, water short age, failure of transportation or failure of equipment all elec tric service censes. There are no reserves to call upon. Pow er supplied over interconnected systems is rigorously ; ifeguar i« I ■ oh-it- and transmissions of the whole system co-operaV in maintaining continuity of service. Interconnection has been largely responsible for tli een ci'moiN increase in the use of «rlectricit.v in the United States, it i* expanding faster than population increase. The amount generated has increas ed 62G per rent during the past 15 year.?: the number of cus tomers has increased 465 net cent; population livinjr in elec trically wired homes. 520 per cent; whereas population has increased but 24 per cent. Americans use nearly as much electricity as the rest of the world combined. Ads in the Reporter Pay
