Carolina Power & Light Company, told directors that the company bad spent $77,000,000 in its post-war expansion during the six years since World War II. He estimated that additional construction with the next three years (1952-54 inclusive) will cost $66,000,000 more, making the postwar expansion program total $143,000,000. The latter figure Includes expenditures that might be made in the Tide Water area. Not only did more people re ceive electric services last year, but they used more electricity, ac cording to a review of 1951 opera tions. Average annual consump tion by residential customers ran to 3,000 kilowatt hours last year for the first time in the company's history. Approximately 14,000 new cus tomers were served, bringing the total to 274,000. Tide Water serv ed 52,000 others, who may become CP&L customers this year. The proposed merger has re ceived approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission, the South Carolina Public Service Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission and from the directors of both companies. Proxies were mailed today to stock holders of both companies prepara tory to stockholder meetings Feb ruary 4 at which they are expected to approve the plan. Final approval then rests with the Federal Power Commission. More customers and increased use of power sent the company's sales to a new high of 2,735,000,000 kilowatt hours last year, or an increase of 18 per cent over the previous year. To meet this increased demand, the company spent $18,800,000 on new or expanded facilities during the calendar year. This included 1951 construction costs at the Goldsboro generating plant, the first unit of which went into opera tion last May. Out of gross operating revenues the tax collector claimed the larg est snare. Federal, state, county and local taxes totaled $9,083,000 compared with $7,537,000 for 1950. ihe second largest sum went to payroll or approximately $6,' 000,000. The company's 30,000 siocKnoiaers got $4,130,440. Reviewing the power picture yes terday, Mr. Sutton told the com pany's directors that despite the extreme drought of last fall that Carolina Power & Light Company naa Deen aiDie to meet all Its cus tomers requirements for electric power. In addition, he said, the company made over a quarter-billion kilowatt hours of energy avail able to neighboring industry out side its service area. Mr. Sutton reported that the work of installing the new steam unit at the Quarter Neck plant near Goldsboro remains on sche dule, which calls for its comple tion by next May. Difficulty in obtaining structural steel, he noted, has delayed the new Lumber-ton unit but it is hoped that mis unit will he ready for opera' tion by early fall. The two new units, fairly similar in capacity to we unit which began operating at Goldsboro last vear. will be able to supply a billion kil owatt hours of electricity a year, if aperaiea no per cent of the time.
