BUSTER BROWN V2 Price One Group Childrens Sportswear & Dresses V2 Price Qeveland Tech Slates Oass CHARLOTTE - Duke Power Company said today its routine customer services have fallen behind as a result of recent ice and wind storms which devastated eiectric lines in many sections of the utility's service area. "Virtually everyone at Duke Power was pushed into emergency service for nearly two and a half weeks restoring electric service to the affected areas,” according to E. N. Hedgepeth, Duke’s vice president, distribution engineering, construction and operations. Three storms — two which caused heavy icing and a third with near-hurricane force winds — struck the Duke service area during a two- week period last month. Uprooted trees and falling limbs destroyed power lines in many sections of North and South Carolina, leaving thousands without electricity during sub-freezing weather. "Our first priority was to get the power back on to these areas as quickly as possible, and the routine work had to be set aside," Hedgepeth com mented. He said a speda) effort is now being made to respond to customer requests for new connections, disconnects and other services that accumulated during the emergency period. Hedgepeth said routine services were interrupted even in sections of the Duke service area unaffected by the storms since personnel in those areas, along with line crews from other power companies in the southeast, were required to repair damages to electric lines in the storm-stricken areas “We apologize for any in conveniences these delays have caused, but there was simply no way to perform routine work while these emergency conditions existed," the Duke executive remarked. He said Duka hopes its customer services wU be returned to a normal basis within a week or two. Tech Seminar For Secretaries! Is Announced Tech Announces Several Classes FUIIOK'S 117 W.
