THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
CONSUMERS ON
RURAL LINE GET
FIRSTCURRENT
43 Farm Homes Served in
Boone County; 60 Miles
of Wire Strung.
M. J. Bridges, general manager
of the Indiana Rural Electric Mem
bership Corp., announced today the
energizing of 60 of the first 160
miles of wiring completed in Boone
County in the Lebanon and Thorn
town areas.
“In the first 60 miles of wiring
we have 43 homes connected and
probably 150 more faj-m homes
ready for connecting,” he said.
“Wiring of homes has advanced so
that within the next two weeks
approximately 200 homes of farm
ers will have electricity,” he added.
The Boone County electrification
project is one of the first to be
completed in the United States un
der REMC and is the first rural
electrification project actually to
reach the consumers under the
P'ederal Rural Electrification Ad
ministration.
William C. Richart. chief engineer
of the Indiana REMC, estimated
that 100 r.ailes more of wiring would
be completed by the middle of July
with an estimated total of 600
homes served in the Boone County
farm district by that time.
“And there’s even one washing
machine going in on the first 43
homes energized,” said one of the
REMC engineers.
The home is that of Mrs. Clark
Woody on State Road 32, west of
Lebanon.
Mr. Richart said some barns also
had been wired but that the wiring
in them has not been completed.
Lebanon is reported to be experi
encing a miniature boom in the de
mand for such electrical appliances
as radios, electric irons, toasters,
washing machines and similar
articles.
Got Loan of $567,926
The Boone County project, when
complete, according to Mr. Briggs,
will embrace 587 miles of line.
The project was allocated $567,926
for the construction of the lines.
Loans, obtained from the Federal
government, are to be repaid out of
earnings of the co-operative ven
ture.
“The rural people in Indiana, who
have never been served by elec-
trie power, are so eager to co-oper
ate to receive the benefit that in
teresting evidences of their willing
ness often appear,” Mr. Briggs
said.
Lend Neighbor a Hand
"In one instance, the neighbors
of a farmer who felt he could not
afford to wire his home, went to
gether and paid for the work and
installation in order to have him as
a member and have their neighbor
hood reached with electricity."
Mr. Briggs said the Public Serv
ice Commission had approved orders
for REMC corporations in WabaSh,
Huntington, and Rush Counties,
and the approval will mean loans
by the REA of more than a million
dollars for approximately 1240 miles
of rural lines in the three coun
ties.
