Utilities Last Year Paid
Mere In Taxes than Amount
Of Combined Net Income

CONTINUED From Page One)
classifications of utility companies
revealed that for 1889 total revenues
in North Carolina reached S119,452,-
1854; net income totalled Sl0,416,978;
and taxes paid amounted to Sl2,-
912.O22. Total value of all plants was
listed at S6O0,691, 1922.
Nine of the thirteen kinds of
utilities showed net profits for the
year 1889, but four (gas, street rail
ways, street buses and Water) show
ed deficits.
Commenting on the figures, MI.
Womble said: THE State, through
taxation, turned out to be the luckiest
stakeholder in its utilities, and did
not take the risk involved in buying
a single share"
The tax collection of more than
twelve million dollars represented
nearly eleven per cent Of the total
gross revenue Of the campaign, Mr..
WOmble pointed out. Net income was
less than two per cent on the total
value Of plants, he added.
Electric power companies account
ed for more than 70 per cent Of the
total net income, with S7,444,7O7.
Telephone companies were the only
other class of utility 10 show net
profits of more than Il million, their
profit reaching Sl,999,802. Railroads,
with almost twice as heavy total rev.
enues, earned only about II per cent
as much as the power companies.
Comparisons of the electric cur
rent bills Of 1889, with what they
would have been under 1882 rates,
show that Carolina Power and Light
customers paid S5,352,l86 less, Duke
customers S8,627,088 less, Durham
Public Service users S868,788 less;
Tide Water patrons $1,136,493 less,
and Virginia Electric and Power
Company customers $364,817 less
than if they had still been paying at
the rates of eight years ago.
In most of these cases, it is the

on four Cincinnati pitchers. But i'll
the beginning it was this fierce as
<ault that wrecked the Reds.
Gene Thompson. d 23-year-old
rtghthander. was Manager Bill Nc
Kechine's starting choice and from
the first few moments OF the game
it was evident he wasn't going to be
able to hold the Surging Tigers III
check.
He barely escaped scoreless
through the first four innings, al
though giving up four singles and a
walk.
