Costs Rise For Potomac Edison In 1944 Operations
Potomac Edison reports rising operating costs in the first five months of 1944 with coal expenses up by 178 336.66 and total twelve month coal costs at 31 504 554.11. President R Paul Smith told the board that taxes have increased due to higher federal rates while plant output rose 11.7 percent in the first half of 1944 compared to 1943. The company added two electric locomotives and bought nine city buses for the Blue Ridge Lines, noting railway revenues remain small beside bus income. Twenty seven employees are in military service with one killed and two missing. The meeting included a lengthy roll call of officers and directors.
