Merville Rosam, general manager\of the company,| says he does not anticipate any falling off in the amount! of revenue received from consumers, because the likeli- hood {s they will use more electricity as a result of re- duced rates. That is “assembly-line” reasoning : lower rates mean more sales and more sales mean greater profits. Were it not for the assembly line, automobiles and the many con- veniences operated in homes by electricity would cost three or four times as much as they do. Greater volume, at reduced rates, is the propelling force of our industrial Progress, which is a sort of “eighth wonder” to the peo- ple of other nations. Key West Electric Company, a year before it became the City Electric System, reduced its rates, an it was said that, had it operated for another year, it would have made another reduction. At that time the Key West Elec- tric Company paid the federal government $104,000 in federal taxes. That amount would be more than doubled if City Electric System had to pay such taxes, but it is tax-free, so far as the federal government is concerned. S that is the case, then we are justified in hoping that City Electric System will see its way clear, later on, to make further reductions, until local rates for electricity compare favorably with those charged in most other cities. Further reduction is almost sure to result in great- er volume and increased revenue for the system.

Here, in the last of three articles on New Eng- land’s economy, AP writer Charles Mercer tells how New Englanders have “gotten up and went” to fight and stay in the forefront of the prosperity parade. By CHARLES MERCER HARTFORD, Conn, (#—More people are employed now in Con- necticut than ever before in the state’s history. It shares a trend that shows that sJl-time employ- ment high through New England, jwith about 3,500,000 at work in non-farm jobs. How has it happened? The answer is a new diversifi-| cation of industry, especially in the electronics field. In 1939 about 760,000 New Eng- landers were making soft goods like textiles, shoes, paper. That year about 360,000 were engaged in producing durable goods such as machinery and metal products. Today New England’s soft goods plants employ about 800,000, But durable goods plants have surged ahead to a 765,000-job level. Connecticut has taken big strides in the increased manufacture of durable goods. It can point to a long strike in the hat industry and rumored uncertainty concerning the future of some textile plants, but a view of its entire industrial stage shows it crowded with new plants. Aircraft manufacture has con- tributed heavily. In East Hartford, for example, Pratt & Whitney re- cently advertised for 3,000 more workers to be added to a labor force of 31,000. But more important to the overall picture of New Eng- land’s growth in durable goods manufacture are the numerous plants which have cut their baby teeth and come of age in sur- prisingly brief tintc. There are certain basic reasons for this changing industrial pat- tern, As textiles faded from a power- ful role in the economy, New Eng- landers knew they had to “git up and go” if they were not to be left far behind in the nation’s pros- perity parade. They had a great tradition of Yankee know-how and a vast pool of skilled workers, In many places they had empty tex- tile mills which cold be used cheaply by other industries, parti- cularly in their early stages. One factor against them was a high cost of power. Another was @ country-wide myth that New Eng- land was slipping. But employment, that basic measure of a region’s economic health, shows New England has indeed “gotten up and went.” Sparking the transition has been an amazing research industry. Many have heard of empty textile mills, But few have heard of the “trillion dollar triangle” on the banks of the Charles in Cambridge, Mass. One of the great research centers of the world has sprung up there in the past few years.
