SERVICE EXTENSIONS
IN haywood FINANCED
Public Utility Companies
Over Country Not Able to
Finance Extensions.

In order that the purchasers of lots In
the haywood addition would not have
to wait for gas and electric service af-
ter building homes the Hammond Realty
Co. financed these extensions for the
Northern Indiana Gas & Electric Co. to
the extent of s2.5OO.
Thus the Hammond Realty Co,
through their local agents. Hastings.
Woods & Co. are standing directly back
OF the twenty-five or thirty home build
ers who have erected houses in this at
tractive subdivision.
The problem Of securing service ex-
tensions is so difficult that there is little
probability that subdivisions, the own
ers of which are not willing to finance
these extensions. will have any develop
ment during the remainder of the war.
The public utility companies over the
country have had so many increases in
the cost of coal and materials that go
into the production OF gas and electrici-
~ that their earnings have been prac-
tieally wiped out
This makes it impossible for them to
secure money needed for extensions; for
the credit of utility companies is guag-
ed entirely BY their earnings. Accord
ingly they have been given permission
by the Indiana State Utility Commission
to require the consumer to put up the
money for necessary extensions.
This policy has been adopted even in
the city of Chicago where the public
utilities have almost unlimited re-
sources.
Hastings. Woods & Co. are very
fortunate in the matter of public utili-
ties in the subdivisions which they rep
resent.
In the haywood addition the work Of
construction viii commence at once that
will provide gas and electricity for 40
building sites. Even the government
has not yet provided for the utilities for
the 109 dwellings that are now being
built opposite the haywood addition BY
the Bureaa of Housing and Transporta-
tion.
