Cedar Rapids Builds Modern Public Utility System
Cedar Rapids completes a cohesive public utility system with a $2.3 million water works, an Iowa owned electric plant generating over 103 million kWh, a gas company with 115 miles of main and 175 miles of service pipes, a telephone network valued at about $1.25 million serving 15 000 phones over 92 miles of aerial and 51 miles underground cable, and a street railway system linking the four city corners, all under the banner of a greater Cedar Rapids ready to grow.
