Better Power Service Is Planned

Recent troubles causing pow
er stoppages in the Tabor City
area nave been largely cleared
up and plans are already
drafted for general improve
ment of service as soon as nee
essary materials are received,
officials of the Tide Water
Power company assured mem
bers of the Tabor City Mer-
chants association Wednesday
morning.
Meeting with members of the
associations executive board
and Executive Secretary Larry
Ashby were w. w. Bell of Will
mington, Tide Waters presi-
dent, and H. M. Leaman Of
Whiteville, district manager OF
the power company.
Recent installation of four
$50 kWv transformers, which
replace 100 kwv transformers
in Tabor City, greatly cleared
up power failures which were
prevalent in Tabor City last
summer and fall, the officials
said, and arrival and installa-
ton of voltage regulators will
serve toward giving the area
more efficient service.
The regulators have been on
order for a number of months
Bell told the merchants assoc
iation representatives, but he
was unable to tell when they
would arrive.
Trouble which caused pow
er stoppages here within the
past two weeks were caused
in the Whiteville sub-station
and has been cleared up, Bell
and Leaman said.
A recent examination of the
company's facilities in Tabor
City and vicinity has shown
that the system is in good
shape here and power failures
in the past have been due to
deficiencies in other sections,
whence Tabor's power comes,
Bell declared.
The Tide Water president
declared that engineers of the
company are now drafting ex-
tensive planSfer the. overall
Improvement of the Tide Wa
ter system and that they are
going forward on the plans
just as rapidly as material be-
comes available.

system in shape for any de-
mands it might put to within
the next five years.
In answer to questions by
members of the merchants
board, Bell said that Tide
Waters rates are slightly high
er than those of some other
companies operating in North
Carolina but he declared that
there IS not as much difference
in the rates as many people
believe.
He cited instances in which
some domestic users of Tide
Water receive the benefits of
lower rates than some GUS
toners of nearby Carolina
Power and Light company.
He declared also that Tide
Water adds new customers
and old customers begin using
more electrical appliances, the
power rates will decrease.
Referring to the large num-
Der of motors which are burn
ed out here while the current
is single phasing, Bell and Lea
man expressed the belief that
a large amount of the trouble
could be eliminated by better
fusing and wiring and use of
throW-off equipped motors.
They volunteered aid of the
power company engineers in
checking for possible improve
ments in wiring.
The Tide Water men also Of
fered the assistance of their
industrial manager, George Co.
nant, in assisting the associa-
ton in it's plans to develop
new industry in Tabor City,
and cited numerous instances
in which the power companies
had aided other communities
in its territory in the develop
President Bell opened the
discussion, held in the offices
of the Merchants Association,
by saying: II want to admit
that our service at present
isn't all that it should be, and
we want to answer any ques-
tons that you have in your
minds"
Following the hour-long
discussion, members of the
merchants board pressed
themselves as satisfied that
Tide Water is doing every
thing possible to render the
best possible service to the
town and area.

They cited the fact that Null
