Joel Clark (left), President oi Allamakee-Clayton Electric Cooperative
makes billionth dollar loan repayment to REA Administrator Norman Clapp.
RURAL ELECTRICS repay
billionth dollar on U.S. loans
A $43,272.06 check from Allamakee-Clayton Elec
tric Cooperative, Inc., Postville, Iowa, recently pushed
repayment of Rural Electrif ication Administration loans
past the one billion dollar mark. 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.
