MILLER Dfa^ajra Giwlli of This Ful District Confidence in the future growth of this district and belief that the bottom of the business depression has been reached is seen in the annual statement made public today by Superintendent H. P. Sedwick of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois. lite cheering Statement that construction work totaling thousands 6t dollars in this district would go forward was made in connection with the sending of the annual report of the Public Service company to Nits stockholders. Included in the construction' plans for, the year in this district are: A new substation at Barrington, replacing the one destroyed by accident in 1021, estimated to cost $75,000. Electric ' extensions estimated at $10,000. Improvements at the Crystal Lake substation, Ettch 83 will grealty increase facility of operating and reduce possibility of interruption of service thruout the territory to the minimum. Raising the voltage of transmission lines from 20,000 to 33,000, connecting Crystal Lake, Barrington and Lake Bluff with the Waukegan station. This, including equipment, will cost $61,000. At Crystal Lake all of the high tension equipment from the substation building will be installed out of doors and lines all about the city will be greatly improved. The plans for the substation at Barrington are well under way and this station will be patterned after the famous substation recently installed at Lemont, which was the first purely alternating current, automatic station ever built. Raising the voltage of the ti^insmission lines in this territory is a first step towards the building of the giant electric plant on the shores of Lake Michigan at Waukegan, ground for which has already be«m obtained and plans for which are being drawn. It is possible that the first unit equipped with a turbine having a capacity of 20,000 kilowatts may be possible of installation before the end of the year. This first unit, alone, will cost over $2,000,000. When completed the station is expected to have a maximum capacity of 200,000 kilowatts and rank among the largest generating stations in the country. It is expected that the additional electric power facilities provided will make of the north tier of Illinois counties one of the greatest industrial districts of the state and probably no territory in the country will be as bountifully supplied with electric power facilities. % The substantial growth of this city and the entire territory'served by the Public Service company during the last year, in spite . of business depression, and the vastness of the machinery necessary to serve the people, is strikingly shown by the figures in the annual statement. Total number of electric light and power customers on Jan. 1, 1922, was 118,304, an increase of 11,999 for the year. Total number of household and industries served with gas was 74,056, an increase of 2,892. To meet the electrical requirements of the territory it was necessary for the big plants to generate 359,410,664 kilowatt hours of energy, necessitating the use of 400,000 tons of coal The enormous total of 2,734,393,000 cubic feet of gas was produced, over 100,000 tons of coal and coke and more than 8,000,000 gallons of gas oil being necessary in the manufacturing process. To protect the electric and gas supply of the people of the territory, the company has purchased iis own coal mines and last year 98 per cent of this fuel came from its own mines. Linking up the remainder «f the territory with this city are now 700 miles of high voltage electric trans mission lines. To these are linked thousands of smaller electrical lines In other parts of the territory the company has 900 miles of gas mains in addition to its electric facilities. A population exceeding 500,000 now receives service from the company. The company is now owned by more than 10,200 stockholders, practically all of whom are customers and live in the territory served. In addition on January 1, there were 2,548 sub scribers paying month by month for their securities. Of the stockholders 1,230 are employes, who either have fully paid for their stock or are buying it on a partial payment plan This is believed to be the largest own ership by employes, in proportion to number, of any public utility com pany in the world. Faith of the com pany in the future of the district is seen in the fact that its investment now is upward of $60,000,000. "The company has the greatest confidence in the future of this city and the territory served and believes that there should be no halt, in spite of business depression, in building, the annual statement says. "While business in all lines decreased greatly it is the confident belief that no dis trict in the country will make such rapid recovery as that in northern Illinois. . The widely diversified in dustry, the rich farms, the mines and general business will bring this about and this will be hastened by co-opera tive efforts between communities and the industries serving them." on the partial practically ail are ai*M|»e in fbe report showing the fe tlhfc .lbs vestment necessary to suppjjjjr growing population has expMjtAai. Investment in plant and . equipment and miscellaneous property total the vast sum of $60,884,580, while othei belongings of the company, not included in plants, bring the total assets up to $68,881,630. Total sales in 1921 amounted to" $12,213,315. After payment of operating expenses, including fuel, wages, taxes and plant maintenance, bond interest and making provision for depreciation, there remained $1,579,- 535 for payment to stockholders, giving ample proof of the stability of the business, even in the face of adverse conditions. Showing the growth in the territory and the wider use of electricity and gas, the report gives this com parison of customers: Class of Se^jcji 1921 1920 Electricity .. 11&S04 106,305 Gas i..V74,056 71,164 Water .............. 6,73$ 6,018 Heat 1,127 1,122 Hie slight decrease shown in the number of wat$r customers is due to a .change in the method of registration, whereby the number of water customers is recorded by accounts or meters rather than by families served. The increase in electric customers accounted for 27,000 kilowatts of ad ditional business being added to the lines. The report pays a tribute to the loyalty and efficiency of employes and lauds their efforts towards producing better service even in the face of the unusual situation which affected all business during the year. ^BARTER OF Items Clipped From The PlaindUaler of Twenty-five Tears Ago McHcnrjr, ill W . .
