At the end of each year, this company makes a report to its customers. Another history
making year has passed and we again report to you the results of our operations for 1941.
Because this business of providing low cost, efficient and dependable electric service is an
important contribution to the welfare of the 'community, it is believed that you. both as
8~~ customer and citizen, will be interested in the company’s progress and problems.
With America in one of the most critical periods in its history and with the utility
industry playing a vital part in meeting this crisis, the company is proud that it is a part
of that industry and that, owing to farsighted planning during former years, we are able
to do our part for National Defense. Preparedness for emergencies is a year-in and year
out policy of this company, and current conditions are proving the wisdom of such a policy.
The information contained here is taken from our Operating Statement for the year ending December 31, 1941,
and all comparisons which refer to the preceding year are comparisons with a similar twelve months’ period end
ing December 31, 1940. We will be glad to receive any criticism or suggestions or answer any questions concern
ing our company’s activities or policies.
