now in operation.
Three additional generating units
Of similar size. with accompanying

increase in generating capacity are
being built and planned for future

Prompt Deliveries Vital.
II orders now placed for new
generating machinery are filled
promptly, the company confidently
expects to meet all reasonable re-
quirements made upon 1t for electric
power. However, If this equipment,
so essential to fulfill the electrical
demands of the Nations Capital and
surrounding areas served by this
company, is not supplied on sched-
ule time, the situation will undoubt-
edly create anxiety and justi1able
alarm to company officials at this
critical time.
All effort, within the command of
the company's officials, is being
made to see that this vital generat-
ing electric equipment is received
and put into operation at the
earliest possible time.

The matter of authorizing and issu-

under active consideration by the
commission.
The company's new 12-story Office
building at the corner OF Eleventh
and H streets NV, on which con-
struction was commenced early in
l94l, is expected to be completed
by early summer, at cost of about
s1,375, 900. 1t will provide ample
space for various general Office func-

rated locations.
The new building will have ap-
proximately 10000 square feet Of

1872 streamline street cars and 395
new buses of the latest type, in
themselves vehicles enough to take
care of the traffic needs of a fairly
large city. Those cars and buses
cost s6,5OO,0O0.
To show how our passenger traffic
has increased it should be stated
that in December in the morning
rush hour Capital Transit was oper-
ating total of 1882 street cars and
buses, or 246 more than a year ago
at the corresponding time, a very
large increase in service.
AS further evidence of the growth
Of mass transportation in the Met
ropolitan Area of Washington. it
might be noted that in the eight
years since Capital Transit came
into existence. the number of cars
and buses in service in the morning
rush hour peak has increased from
70l to 1882 or more than doubled.
From the transportation point Of
view one of the years notable events
was the staggering Of the hours Of
employment of Government depart
ments. That resulted in noticeable
improvement in the rush-hour traf-
fic situation and enabled Capital
Transit to better the running time
on a majority of car and bus trips
in those hours.

The problem of low yields and In

but the increase in volume has en-
abled completion of the year with

The popular demand for Defense
bonds and stamps has been most
gratifying and, while there is no
profit in their sale, we are only too
happy to be doing our part in pro-
noting the. chase by the gen.

telephones, an increase of 16 per cent
over December l last year. This is
more than twice the growth realized
in 1910 and is nearly three times the
average growth of the last five years.
On December / there were 315, ,788
telephones in service in Washington.
r Calls Increase Sharply.
Telephone messages also In
creased substantially during the
year, out-of-town calls being 47.2
per cent greater than in 1910, while
local calls increased 1876 per cent.
Despite these large increases in
business, the ratio of net earnings
to telephone plant in service is less
than for the year 1910 due to the
substantial increase in the amount
of telephone plant required to give
service and to large increases in
taxes, wages and other operating
expenses.
To meet the unusual demands for
service the company has spent in
l941 about sl60O0,0O0 for additions
and betterments to its plant. This
is more than the cost of the total
telephone plant in service at the
end of 1922. On December l the
cost Of the property used in giving
telephone service in the SO square
miles that comprise the District of
Columbia was s62, ,260,l0l.

BY Cambridge Associates.

BY Cambridge Associates.
Production of electric power
reached a tremendous new peak in
1941 with approximately 168 billion
kilowatt-hours being furnished un-
der the stimulus of the demand for
more and more power for industrial
use. Nineteen hundred and forty
one production was about 16 per
cent ahead of the 1910 total and al
most 73 per cent ahead OF 1929 out
put.
Still another gain is forecast for
1912 as the shift from preparedness
to actual war brings new industrial
equipment into seven-day operation.
The 1912 increase, however, will be
somewhat smaller than that record
ed last year, in part because there
are certain sections where 1t is
doubtful if production can be great
ly lifted above present levels.
Construction Pushed.
On the whole, the electric power
and light industry is meeting sue
cessfully the responsibilities of this

The industrys $500, 900 900 expan-

completed although work was ham,

About 100000 of new generating
capacity is scheduled for 1923.
Earnings Lag in Year.
While gross revenues as we'll as
kilowatt-hour production made a
new record in l94l. privately-owned
utilities will probably show a Slight
ly lower net income for the year than
they did for 1910. Industrial power
rates decrease as use of power in
creases and residential rates con-
tinue to work lower. Taxes and
labor and material costs are all
higher.
Heavy burdens have been imposed
by the drought which prevented full
use of hydro-electric generators
throughout the Eastern States dur
ing the past year. In other sections
hydro-electric plants showed above
normal output.
