GAS MD EIEC.
TRIO COMPANY.

Public service corporations as gem
eral rule are the baromeJcTs by which
the outside world judge the desir-
ability of a city as rosdence place,
or place in which to conduct a bust
ness. In Albuquerque, the above
named organization is giving a SER
wee that lends favorable impression
to the casual visitor, or new resident,
The Albuquerque Gas and Electric
company had its original inception in
1883. However it W later absorbed
by the Federal Light and Traction
Company, and practically the whole
system has been rebuilt, giving the
city one of the most modern and up
to-date plants to be found in the
entire southwest.
The equipment is modern in every
respect. The power plant has a gem
Grating capacity equal to 1,525 kilo-
watts. There are approximately four
thousand poles to carry the wires
over the city and over three hundred
miles of copper wire carrying cur
rent to the patrons. And over these
wires is given a service that is seldom
found in a city the size of Albuquer-
que. The gas plant consist of three
gas benches that produce 100 600
cubic feet of gas every twenty-four
hours. There is approximately twenty
miles of gas mains in service. When
the old company was acquired by the
present management, there were / 500
consumers of electric current and
500 consumers of gas Today there
are 3,257 consumer of electric cur
rent, a gain of II per cent and lap
consumers of gas, gain of $50 per
cent.
The straight, operating payroll of
the company is S56, 900 annually,
practically all of which is spent in
Albuquerque. The company consumes
approximately $4,000 tons of coal an
nually, at cost of S106,S00, and all
coal consumed is bought from New
Mexico mines. The company spends
with the big concerns Of Albuquer-
que, approximately $1,000 600 am
nually. In fact the management pur-
chases all material locally when pos
sible.
Another feature of the plant is the
accounting system. This system was
installed by one of the best account
ing firms of New York City 1t rend-
ers a complete financial report each
month, showing in detail the work and
progress of each department 1t is al
most accurate system and is handled
entirely by the companys' own organ
izatiOn.
The albuquerque Gas and Electric
company is under the management of
Mr.. Arthur Prayer who has been
connected with the orgazaton since
1908 and who has made a special
study of the local situation and gives
his personal attention to every detail
of the business TO give SERVICE to
all the Company's patrons with theI
least possible room for criticism, isl
what he is striving for. Mr. Chas. l..
Twogood is auditor of the company
and lends valuable assistance through
out the organization. All matters per-
tanning to the property are handled
locally by the local management. They
are intert sted in Albuquerque and itsI

walton of field seeds, the III
Centre firm of Rath & Marshall
