New Line CenstracHon. During 1941 a total of 148 miles ol high-roltage transmission lines was completed. In North Carolina lines were built from Selma to Goldsboro, Goldsboro to Wilson, from the Cape Fear generating plant to Erwin. In South Carolina lines were built from Hartsville to Chesterfield and from Florence to Greeleyville Late In the year another line was started (since completed) from Goldsboro to La Grange. North Carolina, to intercon nect with the Tide Water Power Com pany in order to furnish that company with more power to be used at the shipyards and military centers. 1 PAY ROLL AMOUNTED TO $2,500,000 In addition to substantial amounts spent last year in each of the com munities served for rent, taxes, divi dends, and miscellaneous supplies, the company's pay roll of $2,501,570 was distributed among approximate ly 1.600 employees who live in these communities where It was again dis tributed through normal channels for liviner expenses.

TiuVer. Coc-Cola Company. RjJeigh. n! C AshevUle.N.C AIDS IN SPEEDING WAR PRODUCTION The National War Production Program brought about many new demands for the Company's electric service during 1941. The Company's policy of providing power facilities in ad vance for the growing requirements of its customers enabled it not only to supply increased demands from its own customers but. in addition, to supply a large amount of power to war industries not located in its ter ritory. Through Its transmission lines and Interconnections, the Company delivered during the year, from Its own aenerating plants and from the surplus venerating facilities of nSn 'borlna companies, In excess of 400. 000.000 kilowatt hours to w indus tries and companies located outside of the Company's territory and not usually served by this Company. The greater portion of this power went to the system of the Tennessee Valley Authority and to the Carolina Alum inum Company at Badin. North Caro lina. Some of it was sentto the Georgia Power Company during the drought last Fall. In the Company's own territory are located Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the War Department's largest Indi vidual Army post, and Army aviation training centers at Florence and Sumter. South Carolina. Another technical training school for aviators is being built near Goldsboro. The Company also furnishes Tide Water Power Company with a large portion of Its power requirements for distri bution to shipyards and a number of military training centers. A large number of the Company's industrial customers are producing material in the armament program. k I V M M Uaftllectrkitj UUP iTf?

Apply ing the figure a little differently it amounted to SI . 958 per average em ployee $26 oer average customer served or $8558 for every day of the year. Of the total amount. $2. 999,429 was charged directly to elec tric and motor coach operations and $124,260 was charged to construction and other accounts. The Company, like every patriotic American citixen. is glad to contrib ute Its share of increased taxes as long as the safety of our country re quires It. But huge tax collections should not be squandered on non war projects. Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthcru warned the nation of this when he pointed out to the House Ways and Means Committee In March as a "pressing duty . . . the need for severe economy in the oper ations of Federal. State and local governments." Continuing he said: "The anti-lnflatlonary purposes of our taxing and savings program will be defeated if, at the same time. Federal, State and local governments indulge In unnecessary expenditures."
