Public utilities companies Of
the area served more custo-
mers than ever before in 1857.
but their figures again placed
heavy emphasis on growth in
the suburbs.
At the end Of November. the
area had S.994 more gas meters.
1852 more electric customers
and 64,4i7 more telephones
than q year earlier.
Maryland suburban sections
had $500 more gas meters.
6.293 more electric customers
q. $50 more telephones. Viz
ginia sections had 4.l0i more
gas meters. 6.i2e more electric
customers and 29.492 more tele-
phones
In contrast, the District Of
Columbia had LOOT fewer gas
meters and 1907 fewer electric
customers. but 1925 more tel
ephones.
AS additional apartments in
the District we're placed on
single meter service during the
year. the decline probably does
not show any actual decrease
In the number Of persons using
utility services.
Since the same 1947 date. the
area has gained l26.lT9 gas
meters. l52.643 electric Gus
toners and 4s6.2s5 telephones.
The figure shows that Mary
