The statement of earnings and eX-
penses for the calendar year 1915 is
as follows:
Gross earnings, $1,S9, 452.68
Operating expenses and taxes.
Net earnings, 957 ,S9S.S3
Bond and note interest, d., s26.s5
Net corporate income, 445,07l.9s
Dividends, 319, 400.92
Surplus, 12567106
In 1914 the general court of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts re-
codifed the laws governing gas and
electric companies. Under provisions
Of this legislation your stockholders
in the spring of 1915 voted to consol
idate the New England Power Com
pany of Maine and the Connecticut
River Power Company of Maine into
the New England company. This con
solidation has been effected, and re
fleets the endeavors of your director:
to reduce as far as possible the mum
Der of separate companies comprising
the New England Power Company sys
tenn The codified laws make possible
further consultations and simplltica
tions. and plans have been completed
, by your directors which, if ratified BY
the stockholders and approved by thu
! Massachusetts Gas and Electric Lgh
commission, will result in the consoli
dation of the New England Powe
company and the Connecticut Rive
Transmission company.
The year 1915 has been the mos
successful year which your companie
have experienced, but your director
believe that the year 1916 and futur
years will show even more satisfac
tory results.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-03-22

operated throughout the yeary but at
only partial capacity, as the last gene
rating unit of the plant was not
placed in commission until November
of last year. Despite this fact, the
output of the plant for the calendar
year has exceeded 35,000,000 kilowatt
hours.
Second: During the year 1915 the
high tension lines of your companies
were extended southwark from Tx
bridge, Mass, through Woonsocket to
Pawtucket and Providence, Rhode Is
land, and a substatiOn for supplying
of energy in central Rhode Island was
completed and placed in operation in
the fall. The earnings for 1915 were
not affected by this extension. but
material benefit will accrue during
the year 1916 and thereafter. Con-
tracts have been made in Rhode Is
land aggregating over $4,000 horse
power and other contracts are pend
ing These customers will be added to
the system as soon as the necessary
connections can be made.
This extension of your lines south
ward to Providence also gives your
companies connection with two tide
water steam plants.
Third: In July, 1915, your compan-
les acquired the plant and property of
1.-THE National Metal Edge Box com
pany, located on the Deerfeld river
at Readsboro, Vermont The dam and
hydraulic plant of the company have
| been rebuilt and a hydro electric gen
Grating station is now under construc-
tion and should be in operation about
April 1st. The ownership of this
property with its available head OF
- feet gives your companies the en-
tire control of the Deerfeld river from
} point just south Of Wilmington tx
Shelburne Falls, Mass, a distance OF
80 miles. The plant will add approx
mately 100000 kilowatt hours pc
annum to the output of the system
/ and will also give a materially in
5 creased supply of summer power, a
the stored waters of the Somerset res
ervoir will be utilized through tn
: wheels of this new plant. The plan
/ of the Box company has capacit.
e of is tons of paper per day and will
S when the old owners vacate, be lease
to a paper manufacturing company.

of electricity
1t is interesting to note that the in
crease in output for the year, amount
ing to over 10000, 900 kilowatt hours,
is greater than in any preceding
year. The demand for power is so
large that the greatest problem which
confronts your companies is the crea-
tion of an increased supply of energy
to meet increased demands.
This increased demand is due not
merely to the great business activity
of the time, but even more to the fact
that the purchase of electricity by
manufacturing and utilities companies
has proven so profitable and desirable
that companies are fastening to avail
themselves of its benefits. The physi-
cal condition of your companies is
first grade and the character of the
service is excellent. --a-,> = :.

and your kidneys will then act fine

acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid

Jessie Fullerton, soloist of Grace
Church, who halls from Cambridge,
Vt, sing, and they carried away little
souvenir packages of real, genuine
maple sugar-very Vermont, as one
man described it.
Although Vermont is a rockribbed
republican state, and has never vet
elected a democrat to any position of
note, those present heard Herbert X.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Treas-
ury officials declare the arrest of cigar
and cigarette manufacturers in New
York on the charges of defrauding the
government Of internal revenue only
scratched the surface of fraudulent 2rac-

turers and retailers and even consumers

it may be traced back as far as p
wears.
