Columbia, Spartanburg jpm . ciliej of Eolith Carol#*. -in th?r ^?mon of W . Si Barstow, president 01 the General Gas & Elect*i? Corporation, who^re^ turned this week from a tour of s pec t ion of tH* entire y>ov?b\\ light, street railway "fhef K?? situation of the territory in which the exi ;tmg properties and proposed extensions will operate. . The General Gas A hlectrw Corj poration recently formed the Broad River Power Company to provide lor the future electric power require rnents of Columbia. Spartanbmg aiul adjacent towns. Mr'. Barstow was very enthusiastic in discussing the prospeets he had 'ioUd for tAe prosperity, growth and ? development of the Southern cities which he visi*. vl. esp-'ciiMi those in which the companies he represents have interests. He stated that these companies can be counted upon to help along the progress and expan* *ion of the cities by developing their public Utility services to the highest possible stage of efficiency. Ilalsey, Stuart & Co., Inc., and Pynchon & Co., investment bankers <if Chicago and New York, have pur chased the first bond issue of $1,500, 000 of the Broad River Power Com pany, the entire proceeds of which will be used to carry into effect the initial phases of the' construction and extension program. 1 heir decision to do so was based largely on the wide diversification of essential in dustries* using electric power already located in and near Columbia and Spartanburg. "While a part of the territory in which the Broad River Power Com pany will operate already supports a large amount of industrial activity, all of the territory holds great poten tial opportunities," said Mr. Barstow. t"A real scarcity of power during the 'past three years has made it neces sary for the power companies to re fuse new power business to large companies in sonic instances. Despite this situation, however, 1 found that the growth of the smaller businesses* in the territory, which have forced themselves ahead, has contributed to a quite steady and satisfactory growth of both the electric light and power and gas business. The amount of electricity produced and sold in the territory served has* more than doubled in the past nine years and gas has tripled." The new modern steam generating plant of 05,000 kw. ultimate capacity, how being constructed adjacent to the hydro-electric generating station at Parr Shoals on Broad River, repre sents the first step in the develop ment program referred to by Mr. Barstow. The first unit of 12,500 k\v. will probably be completed early next fall and will be made available to Columbia, Spartanburg and various 1 other communities through the con- I struction of 70 miles of high-tension transmission lines. It is expected that the installation of the second unit of 12,500 kw. of the new station will be started soon after the first >s completed. The Broad River Power Company, through subsidiaries, controls the en tire electric light and power, gas and street railway business of Columbia and adjacent cities. When the pro posed new. high-tension transmission ?fines are completed, Spartanburg will be included in the company's field-of operation a.s well as several other cities. Connections first will bl- made with Batcsburg, Lecsville and Lex ington. The Broad River Power Company is under the same management ns the North Carolina Public Service Company, of Greensboro, N. C.; Met ropolitan Kdison Company of Read ing, Pa.; Pennsylvania Kdison Com pany of Has ton, Pa.; The New Jersey Power Light Company of Dover, N. .1.; Binghamton Light. Heat <k Power Co., of Binghamton, N. Y., and other well known and success ful 'properties which are controlled by the General Gas & -Licetric < or porat ion. The Broad River Powci Company, therefore, has at its command the services of the same experienced op erators that have successfully devel oped these other companies and there 1- every reason to believe that thev will accomplish the same satisfactory result with re?pect to the Broad River Resolution* of Respect We the Count} Home Demonstra te n A^'et.t- <>f South < ai'o'ina assem bled at our annual nv-etug <lo here by offer the following i e-i>!ut ion s : Resolved: I.
