The gross earnings Of the North

for public utilities. in 1920 amounted
to s39,611,l62 against s3O,343 1877 in
the previous year. The total available

1920 called for $3A59,304, so that the
more than two and half times over.
After paying preferred dividends and
dividends on the minority interest
stock in the Wisconsin group the COM
pany had S5,396,2S available for COM
mon dividends, equal to $1811 a share
on the s29,793,300 of outstanding
stock.
Cash on hand amounted to $780,
csc, an increase of little over
ton at the end of the previous year.
But against this in 1920 there was
s6,442562 of notes and bills payable,
an increase during the year of more
than $4,000 Current assets, which
include cash, etc, were carried at $16,-
282,171 at the end of 1920 and at So
S06,231 at the end of the previous year,
but the increase is largely accounted
for by an increase from $4.716,693 to
, 90 ,o9- IN accounts recelVaDle and
in an increase from $3,O8O,77O to
s5,513,422 in materials and supplies
The company paid it's regular S per
cent dividend on the common stock
The earnings of most of the i'm
rortant subsidiaries of the North
American Company have shown fairly
steady increase both in gross and in
net during the last few years.
The principal subsidiaries are the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light,
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric, the
North Milwaukee Light and Power, the
Wells Power the Union Electric Light
and Power, the ST. Louis County Gas,
and the West Kentucky Coal Company
The company also has substantial
investment in the United Railways

Company. The Detroit Edison is pay
ing regular dividends at the rate of 8
per cent on its stock, and although the
North American Company does not
own the controlling stock Of the De-
troit Edison its holdings are under

make up your loss on Interborough
