UTILITY ADVERTISING SHOWS LARGE INCREASE A steady increase in the use of news- paper advertising space by public util- ity companies all over the United States was revealed in the report of the Costs and Results Committee of the Public Utility Advertising Association, pre- sented to the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. The committee which made the investigation was head-. ed by E. Paul Young of the Illinois Power and Light Corporation. An analysis of advertising made from reports submitted by 32 of the larger public utility companies, revealed that these companies now spend 63 per cent of their advertising appropriations in daily and weekly newspapers, and that indications are that this ratio will be increased materially in the future. "The amount of newspaper space used by utilities has increased great- ly in just a few years," the report says. "Through the direct results obtained from newspaper advertising in connec- tion with securities and merchandis- ing activities, the utilities have re- newed their appreciation of the value of advertising in newspapers. Fortun- ately this has changed the attitude of many utility operators from the old idea that a utility must advertise in a newspaper in return for its good will, to the realization that advertising money spent in newspapers is more than justified through results accom- plished. "The general improvement in the quality of public utility advertising is placing the industry on a sound, prac- tical advertising basis. The competi- tion of large advertisements in news- papers today is forcing the utilities to adopt the same tactics with a cor- responding increase in cost. Board Hears Plans for Municipal Tennis Courts John Steffens, speaking for the play- grounds commission presented the Vil- lage board with estimates of construc- tion of tennis courts at the municipal playgrounds at the board meeting Tuesday evening. The commission in- formed the board that its available funds would permit the construction of but two tennis courts this year. Representation of several women's groups in the village had petitioned the board for the construction of four courts in the municipal playgrounds. The commission consulted an expert, John Hewitt, and found that the regu- lation size court can be constructed for approximately $1000. The board felt that it was desirable to proceed with the construction of two courts this year and to build the other two next year.
