Electric steam generating stations and natural gas supplies must keep in advance of increasing population and industrial development. "From 1940 to 1950, the electric load of the three companies increased 134 per cent, and the gas used increased over 200 per cent. The strategic location of electric cteam generating stations must be determined and the natural gas supplies must be developed in accordance with the distribution of increased population and the rapidly increasing number of industries. The trend of industrial development is toward the country, where there is ample room for industries to build the type of plant which gives the greatest efficiency :N all on one or two floors with plenty of room for expansion. "As the system of each company has developed and grown, it has become increasingly evident from engineering studies that the most efficient and economical production and use of electric power and natural gas can be attained by interconnecting and strategically locating the sources of electric pow- | er and supplies of natural gas. This plan will, through simplification. provide a more efficient means of furnishing adequate service to the area. "Murray D. Smith will continue to be in charge of the operations in this area which will be conducted as a division of Public Service company. C. C. Collins will be division vce-presdent under Mr. Smth's directon. "Mr. Britton I. Budd. president fo Public Service company, will direct the management and operation of the enlarged organization."

These figures show an increase in DuPage of 48.7 per cent, Lake county at 47.4 per cent and McHenry with 35.1 per cent. Champaign county was credited with a 50 per cent increase but this was chiefly because of a new policy of census taking which includes University of Illinois students as residents of the campus community. Several downstate counties reported a decline* in population between 1940 and 1950, one as Aiuch as 28 per cent. Others, however, with large cities or in metropolitan areas, showed a sharp rise. The entire state population rose 10 per cent and now stands at 8,684,513. talevlflid on Station WENH-TV, meeting future needs and will nbt Channel 7. on Thanksgiving 'Day, f:S# p.m. Dr. J. W.
