WATER POWER
EXTENDS SERVICES
National Defense Weeds S,
Building Boom Add
New Meters

When, last year, the United
States awoke to the alarming re-
alization that it might have to tight
for the very existence of its demo-
cratic ideals, and in that awaken
ing began preparing for any even
tuality, the Tide Water Power
company was among the first OF
North Cardinals great industries
to make their facilities adaptable
without delay to the vital national
defense program.
Serving IS eastern North Caro-
lima counties where the Federal
government is spending millions OF
dollars to strengthen its army and
sea forces-and proposes to spend
many millions more in the next
few months-Tide Water Power is
playing a vital, necessary role IN
the moving national scene. In e
year 1910 saw the Tide Water be-
Gin it's service to the national de-
tense program; and 1941 will, 1t
is expected, see ar ever greater
service.
On the defense front, Tide Water
has been called upon by the Unit
ed States Army to supply %electri-
cal power to Camp Davis, the
Coast Artillery corps gigantic
anti-aircraft firing center at Holly
Ridge, and to energize with no less
than 5000 h. p. of electricity the
monsterous shipyards now a-build-
ing in Sunset Park Immediately
south of Wilmington for the North
Carolina Shipbuilding company.
To meet these sudden and i'm
mense demands Tide Water h a S
found it necessary to enlarge its
facilities, first, with a 5000 K.V.A.
condenser in its Wilmington plant;
and secondly with the installation
of a $500 K.V.A. transformer at
it's Eagle Island sub-station. This
huge transformer, one of the larg.
est of its type in North Carolina,
will supply the greater part Of the
load required by the shipbuilding
company.
While national defense has, as a
patriotic duty, come first on the
expanded duties of Tide Water,
regular d%ay-to-day customers
have not been forgotten. On the
contrary, the company's service
department had one of it's busiest
years during 1910 maintaining the
high standard of efficiency the
utility has set for itself. Further
more, the company has ex
%perienced a healthy growth Of XIV
