A 1 f If they badali settled in one locality, the 3,712 electric customers added to PP&L lines in 1944 would have given the Pacific Northwest a brand new city of , 10,000 population. As it was, this healthy growth was distributed throughout the 80 cities and towns and the extensive rural areas served by the Company. At the year-end, PP&L was supplying low cost, dependab le electric service to W ith more customers than ever before, and with a growing war-time demand for cheap and tireless electricity, PP&L was called upon to supply users with 354,906,000 kilowatt-hours o f electric ity in 1944— an increase o f 44,921,000 kilowatt - hours, or 14.3%, over the record-breaking 1943 total. 93,831 custom ers. A £ Thanks to the tw o ’’rate dividends” total ing nearly $600,000 which PP&L dis tributed to all customers in 1944, the Company's electric users enjoyed 12 months o f service for the price o f 11. This practical method o f sharing war time earnings gave customers savings, during the year, equal to an 8 1/3% rate reduction. J f Even though PP&L delivered 44,521,000 Direct taxes for PP&L foe 1944 w ill toss! about $1,292,500. Nearly h alf goes SO the Federal Government to help meet wartime costs. The remainder goes » support local, county and state activities o f many kinds. Like other taxpsyvrt, PP&L has to set aside a big o( its revenue to meet tax bills, which will take about 17.3 cents out o f every doh \ lar o f 1944 PP&L revenue. more K W H to its customers in 1944, the drop in average price kept revenues from increasing with the volume of business. Expenses, however, went up due to increased power purchase re quirements and other operating needs. As a result, the Company’s net income for the year was substantially less than the 1943 figure. Wherever it serves, PP&L represents a steady and substantial payroll in the community. Last year the Company met a total payroll, including construction work, o f $1,838,542. It provided em ployment for an average o f 725 loyal and competent men and women. And PP&L looks forward to the day when the resumption o f a peacetime develop ment program w ill find it helping to make many more jobs for ambitious boys and girls. W hile the cost o f living kept going ep in 1944 (now 25.4% above 1939), the average price of PP&L electricity went down to tbe very lo w fig u re o f 1.84 ents per K W H for residential service (21% below 1939). Homes served by PP&L pay only about M f the national average price, and use almost at much electricity as the average American home.’’ • > In 1944, PP&L ^ e n t $273,808 egjnain- tain its facilities in good u p s w in g con dition— and $955,008 te construct addi tio n s and improrrm—g authorised by t the War Production Board. Ita addition to the expansion o f faculties to meat load growth in many conunusities, the ' .

W orking together, we were able to meet every need for electric service as it arose. W e have confidence that the same spirit o f cooperation can carry this region forward in the post-war era to new levels o f productivity and prosperity. Now, when it is doubly important that you have good workmanship and quick service to keep your cars and trucks running, have us take care of your service problems. .
