they realize that IL cannot be done

UTILITIES DEVELOPED
BY ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Some idea OF the extraordinary de-
velopment of the utilities of Illinois
was given the country at large. when
IL was announced that the Central
Illinois Public Service Company had
hooked up" the last link in high
power Transmission line which Is now
1.355 miles long and joins the four
States OF Illinois, Kentucky. Indiana
and Iowa. This single line crosse
thirty-one counties.
1t starts at the hydro-electric de-
velopment at Keokuk. Iowa, crosses
Illinois to Paris. ILL.,. and from that
point runs east to Terre Haute, Ind,
thence south TO Edwardsville. Ind,
and on down to Louisville. Ky. This
big transmission line has made pos
sible the abandonment of scores OF
small town plants that were ineffi-
cient. So complete Is the wiring
of the State Of Illinois that were the
lines drawn on a map they would
resemble a spiders web.

few people realize how important
electricity has become In their daily
life. II supplies illumination for the

II has become such a commonplace
convenience that we give little
thought to the central generating sta
ton that supplies this current and
the systematic service upon which
the community is so dependent.
INCREASED DEMANDS.
Increased demands from the con-
suming public have revolutionized
equipment and operating methods un-
til the electric service OF a few years
ago seems almost obsolete now. From
haphazard system OF distribution
based on a demand for a necessity,
electric service has developed into
scientific. highly organized efficient
business with the newest, most
progressive engineering and mer-
cha ndising ideas. New business meth
DDS in the sale not only OF electricity
itself. but of appliances and equip
ment have created a new department,
while the operating improvements are
such as almost completely to have
altered the science OF the commercial
generation OF electricity.
With the new era new ideas have
come. The old policy OF compelling
the consuming public to seek service
which was grudgingly given and poor
ly supplied, has been entirely sup
planted by a spirit OF broad co-opera-
ton and sane public policy in marked
contrast to the methods OF the past.
The old autocratic regime of con-
tempt for the feelings of the con-
sumner as expressed in the now obso-
lete slogan: THE public be damned"
has been wisely supplanted by the
happier phrase: The public be served
and pleased"
