WE TREASURE
Two years have now passed since Stone & Webster, Inc.,
assumed the management of the Virginia Electric & Power Co.
During this time there has been accomplished a wonderful
improvement in all the service rendered by the company and an
enormous expansion of facilities, making our electric service
available to practically all the cities and towns throughout the
territory served by us in Virginia and Northeastern Carolina.
These accomplishments include the expansion of our terri
tory by the acquisition of other properties; the construction of
high-power transmission lines linking up our large steam-power
stations and our various water-power developments; the con
struction of new po.wer-station units; the lowering of our. elec
tric rates; and the reorganizing of the Employees' Benefit Asso
ciation, under which benefits in time of need are practically
doubled.
Through these achievements, the company is now in a po
sition to furnish abundant power for any possible future growth,
and is providing this entire territory with a public service of
which all may be proud. ' ,
-' * *
Practically $20,000,000 has been expended by the company
during this period for improvement and expansion. However,
it would not have been possibleHo accomplish this had not the
citizens of this section received new management in such a
fair-minded and cordial manner.
