In fact, unless sucll a return is reason bly certain, necessary capital could not be. secured to estab- lish and operate a business. ' In the electric industry, net earnings of 8 per cent. investment in facilities and oquiprnenl. devoted to the service of the public are considered This 8 per cent. return must provide funds for paying interest and dividends, and furnish a surplus for use in the event of unforseen emergencies. At no time since 1926 has your electric company earned an adequate return on its investment. It is a fact that during the last ten years the average rate of return has been considerably less than the rate of l interest charged on ordinary mortgage paper. Those who attempt to criticize your electric company may suggest the erroneous idea that our return is low because the operating expenses are loaded with non- essential charges. Nothing could be further from the truth. The expense of operation of your company will bear close scrutiny, and no expense will be found other than those expenses necessary to conduct a well-managed and efficient operating company. This is the third in a series of neighborly talks about your local electric company. Another import- ant message for our friends and customers will this newspaper soon.
