HANk EEEGTRIG
MADE Big PROHf
ON Lower RATES
General Manager Blake's An
nual Report Submitted To-
day; Officers Reelected

Al the annual meeting OF the Ha-
waiian Electric Company, LID, held
this afternoon, F. Z. Blake, the gen.
erai manager, presented his report,
SHOWING that the total revenue Of the
corporation from all sources was $780,
58O.65. with expenditures OF $685.
416.7e. leaving q net working profit OF
S222.l6S.S9. After allowing for losses
OF sS562.55 and paying IL per cent In
dividends for the year. amounting
to s120, 1000, there remained balance
Of SsS.5s1.34 to be carried forward to
the credit of profit and loss.
Mr.. Blake's report commented on
the fact that although the maximum
lighting rate had been reduced on jan
uary 1, 1915, from 1914 cents to 10
cents. and the maximum power rate
from Il cents to 10 cents per kilo-
watt, the company's business showed
an increase which took up to a con-
siderable extent the loss in revenue
which might have been expected from
the reduction in rates.
Gain Made Last Year.
The total number OF consumers
served by the company at December
81. 1915. was 7U3l; the total number
of lights connected to the company's
service at that time being 95.02S; the
total connected horsepower motor
load was 4627 horsepower. both depart
ments showing q considerable gain for
1916.
In 1915 the company manufactured
SSH tons more ice than In 1914, while
its cold storage and merchandise de-
partments also show healthy In
creases.
During the year the company en-
tered into agreements with the army
and navy officials to extend its lines
TO supply electric light and power to
the naval station and Fort Kane
hameha at Pearl Harbor and to Scho-
field Barracks at Castner. From the
present condition of this work Mr..
Blake ESTIMATED that extensions
should be completed by August 1.
This lire will carry the company's ser
vice into the country for distance of
"a miles and should be a very Inn
portant factor in the future growth
OF the business.
The following officers were re-
elected for the year: Richard A.
Cooke, president; F. w. Macfarlane,
vice-president; c. HI. Cooke, secretary;
+. c. Atherton, treasurer; c. H. Ather-
ton, Richard Ivers and H. NJ. Won Holt,
