ELECTRIC LINE FNTENS 2ONS
AND ADDITIONS GREATLY
CURTAILED BY WAR PRO
DUCTION B0RAD

Due to the very acute shortage Of
copper and other critical materials,
especially metals, the var produc-
ton board in Washington has found
it necessary to still further curtail
the extending of and adding to dis
tribution lines of the utilities of the
country. This tightening of the
use of the critical materials requir-
ed for war production purposes
was brought out by the war produc-
tion boards recent revisions and
amendments to preference rating
order P-46, under which utilities of
the country have been operating
since several months before the
declaration of war. This was
brought out today in an interview
with Mr.. T. E. With, District Man
ager of the Ohio Power company.
The general effect of the new re-
strictions is to deny the electric
utilities the privilege of making
any line extensions Or making any
additions to existing line facilities
for any customers or establish
ments which are not directly a part
of the war production program Of
the country. Although leaving the
way open for possible approval by
local Federal Housing Authority
for line extensions to serve wal
housing and war production prof.
ects, new extensions Or additions to
existing lines are prohibited unless
the building or dwelling was COM
pletely and adequately wired foE
the service to be rendered. or un-
less, in case of new construction,
the foundations for the new build
ings or dwellings We're completed
and ready for superstructure cree
ton, as of July l, 1912.
Mr.. With stated that these new
restrictions affected electric serv-
ice to not only new buildings and
dwellings, but also to existing
dwellings where additional or new.
ly purchased electrical equipment
was being added. Mr.. With stress
ed the fact that in order to avoid
possible misunderstanding it is
suggested that the electric com
pany be consulted before any major
electric appliances, such as ranges
or water heaters, are purchased and
before any customers with sueH
major appliances move into another
home. He further stated that he
hoped that their customers would
take an understanding viewpoint OF
the matter and realize that these
restrictions are not arbitrary rul
ings on the part Of either the util1
ty or the War Production Board,
but, instead, are absolutely neces-
sary to conserve the nations supply
of copper and other critical ma
terials for war production pur-
poses
