Community Light Lines Are Growing Over 15 Omni unities Are Already Serving 48t> Ilomen. Other Lines Contemplated. Raleigh.—Darkness arid dreariness are being removed from the rural hemes of Cleveland county through the building of community light lines. Over 15 communities have already put in the lines and four others are interested in the movement, reports County Agent K. E. Lawrence. “Ths movement was begun early in 1024,” says Mr. Lawrence. "At that time, we decided at a meeting of our County board of agriculture that C)e\ (land county needed electric lights and power in the rural homes and plan ned that we would encourage the move ment if crops were good that year. Crops were good and we went to work. A number of meetings were held to give encouragement to the movement {.ml as a result of several months of work, there were fifteen communities which put in the lines that fall and winter. We expect to add four more communities to this number this fall and winter and when threr more com munities are added we will have a main light line going into each sec tion of the county. Then, all we will have to do to completely electrify thet county, is to build short branch lines: from those main lilies.” Mr, Lawrence states that all of the leading citizens of the county are in terested in the project and that the good farmers have found that it pay • j to use the surplus crop profits in building a better rural section. Ninety miles of lines were built, during the campaign. There are 483 homes ligh - ed by electricity and some of the Vines ?w<* furnishing power to run mnehin- j cry. The power is furnished by some of the manufacturing plants in the county and by the local service com pany. The cost of establishing the lines, states Mr. Lawrence, was from $901 to $200 per home according to the number of homes receiving the serv ice. Each community formed a stock company With each man taking his pro rata share of the expenses. The community companies are operated on a non-profit basis and farmers are using the power to light homes, pump water, churn,, separate milk and do the honing. STATE HANKS FOURTH IN ELECTRIC jPQWER North Carolina now ranks fourth among states of the union in devel oping of hydro-electric power in use, according to the recent report of the U. S. geological survey on the capa city of water wheels installed in plants of 100 h. p. or more thruout the nation. The jii'and total for the nation is 10.038.000 hrosepower an increase of 051.000 or over 10 percent over the total capacity of the water power plants in 1024. The report is the latest one complied by the survey and includes the present year to date. Lust year North Carolina was the fifth state in the union in the devel opment of water power, and registers an increase of 103,000 h. p. for this year as compared with 1024. In de veloped water power New York leads all of the states with 1,713,551 horse power. California and Washington follow with Maine coming after this state. Of the increase noted for the ration it is significant that 00 per cent was in c^nrLrie public utility and only one percent in the manufactur ing plants. The report points out that it is the power development in the Middle At lantic, South Atlantic and Hast South Central states that is progressing most rapidly, and New Fngiand's rela live standing continues to decrease. The figures for North Carolina are indicative of a steady development of additional power to meet- the in creased industrial demands, accord ing to the reports, there are now in stalled in this 103,100 more horse power than were available last year. Considering the relation of hydro leciric power to textile manufacture md other industries in the Piedmont territory, which includes important sections of South Carolina, the figun s are- even more important.
