New City Building Is Seething With. Activity

It was a long struggle for the million-dollar step to be taken. It is no light matter to decide upon having the largest diesel dngine this side iof the Mississippi placed in a tcwn of some 7.500 souls. \ The beginning probably can be traced back 10 years when it became evident that, the need of supplementary source of electric power would Eventually become a necessity. A former city council had no notions of installing a diesel engine. fo|r\the simple reason, no douibt, thgt generation of electricity by diesel engine is a comparatively pew field, 'phey were considering a steam ■ plant, modern but utilizing the. same basic design as the rig which presently supplies the city with current. The price for this, equipment and accessory construction was t set at $3 million. But when the tpen city fathers went to Indianapolis to try and float a loan they 'found it out of the question since it would greatly overtax the city’s permitted two percent bonding.

Earnings amounted to $151,720,000,. or $5.26 a common share. This compares with earnings of $138,117,000, or $4.79 a share, in 1951. Ralph J. Cordiner, president, revealed that the -company’s backlog of orders is greater than at any time in its history,!but he gave no details. ''ll The company’s defense production accounted for 30 percent of G. E.’s total dollar sales. Provision for federal taxes on income and for renegotiation in 195“ amounted to $264 million. ‘ • \ The average number of employes on the G E. payroll! last year totaled 216,800. an increase of 3.1 percent. Employes’ total 1952 earnings reached, a record $949,194,000, an increase of 7.4 percent over 1951. • At the end of the year, G.

Harold Handley said this was “an answer” to Governor Crai&’s commerce department bill which is tied up in senate committee and which, Handley said, "evidently won’t pass.” Also stalled in senate committee is a bill ttnuing the "Little Hoover” commission for two years. Sen. John Van Ness, R-Valpo-raiso, said the legislative group will study "wastes and overlapping” of state agencies and recommend streamlining to the 1955 assembly.
