Now, more than one dollar out of every four loaned has been returned plus almost half a billion dollars in interest! Since the start of rural electrification in 1935, REA has advanced $3 billion in long-term loans to nearly 1,000 locally-owned rural electric systems. Rural people have used this money to build their own elec tric lines ... the only way they could get electricity. They've helped boost the num ber of farms with electricity from fi lU.y to y per cent. And today, ftp WW rural electrics are bringing the most modern electric service to residences, farms, churches, schools, and businesses all over rural America . . . serving more than 17 million people. Best of all, their loan repayment record is 99.99 per cent "perfect" ... one of the finest in banking history. Rural electrics are making regularly sched uled payments on principal and interest. And in ad dition, they have already repaid more than $170 mil lion ahead of the dates it was due. In all these ways, locally-managed rural electric systems continue to demonstrate that rural electrifica tion, financed by REA loans, is one of the soundest investments our Nation has ever made.
