WHAT BECOMES OF THE DOLLAR You Pay ror Utility Service? a man receives hi' pav check, there are various expenses he inu>t meet with it. such as rent, food and clothing: With the monev it receives for goods or services, every. . busipe’ss must do likewise. The margin left alter all expenses have been paid is surplus or profit. There are various expeii-.es which must be met out of every dollar paid for service bv cu>tomers to the electric, gas and transportation companies in the Midland I nited Companv group. Os everv rexenue dollar received by these subsidiaries for public utililx >ervices ip 1929. cents went for operating expenses. This includes the money paid out for ktbor and material necessary to operate and maintain the property and equipment. Out of the remaining 4 Hi cents, l’/2 (‘cuts was charged as retirement or d precialion expense. 1 his is monev spent dr put adde for the retirement ami replacement of plant and propertv due to wear and tear. A constant program of replacement and repair is necessary to maintain good service. Taxc> required 8% cents out of every dollar for the support of cits, countv, state ami federal governments and the public >chool system. I tiiities. of. course, under our sv>tem of regulation cannot ordinarily make exten»ion> or new additions to their plants direetlv out of earning'. Their onlv alternative is to obtain this necessary capital by issuance of securities.• Since this monev is hired, payment must be made for the service it gives. It is entitled t_> eonrpt n>ation just a- a worker is entitled to wages. Compensation paid in the form of int ‘rest on bonds and notes required cents out of each revenue dollar and an additional 7 cents was required for dividends on preferred s-ock. Thus-a balance of I lk? cents was left for , the corpcratC surplus account out of which dividends are paid tn Uiecommon stock and a fund provided'for contingenei , lor the building of minor exttuisions to j Lint and lor ikloi'c??-’1 corporate emergencies. It will be noted in looking over the apportionment of the utilities* revenue dollar ‘.hat a substantia! portion of the - monev paid bv the public tor utility services goes back to • the public. Subsidiaries of the Midland I nited Company have nearly 8.000 employes who live in Indiana. Their salaries, of course, are a part of operating expenses. Indiana firms suppl} these same companies with various materials and supplies. Utilities* securities are held by thousands of small investors, who represent ti ven substantial part of the public. These investors are entitled to a return on their invested capital which is paid to them in the form of interest on the bonds they hold and as dividends on their stocks. The Midland United Company and its subsidiaries have over 83,000 stoi kholders. many of whom are residents of Indiana. * Thi» is the sixth of a series of advertisements discussing I the economics of the public utility business and reviewing how the public is benefited by holding company conUoL J Midland United Company PRINCIPAL OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES: Northern Indiana Public Service Company...
