Black is this week sending to each of ‘them a summary of the annual report recently made to stockholders. It reviews the sources of the company’s 1937 revenue, the disposition made icf it, and the ownership of securities. Addressing the report to his fellow employees, President Black in a foreword invites them to send for a copy of the annual report, if they wish more detailed information than it is possible to include in the summary’s rather meager outline. “Viewed either from the standpoint of employees, of stockholders, or of the consuming pupbliic,’’ says this foreword, “the results of the year’s operations may ‘be regarded as generally favorable. At least we have spared no effort to fulfill fairly our responsibility’ to each of these three groups, whose interests, while sometimes apparently divergent, are in all important respects identical. It is evident that no one of these groups can long profit unduly at the expense of the others. “To you upon whose indvidual and collective efforts the success of our business so largely depends, I wish on ‘behalf of the management to express cordial good will. We hape that the spirit of enterprise and cooperation which has made this organization outstanding among the utilit-jes*of the country may continue to guide our course in ‘the future.”’ The high lights of the report point out that while the business generally prospered during 1937, operating erpenses, including taxes and reserves showed an increase that was 50 per cent more than the gain in gross revenues. Langest single item of operating costs was the payroll, amounting to $16,138,000. This was $1,368,000 more than 1936, and upwards of $3,000,000 more than in 1933. Additionally, $6,911,000 of payroll was charged to constructive account, bringing the year’s total payroll to more than $23,000,000.
