VALUE OF RESOURCES


Annual value of live stock in Allen and neighboring counties, which include Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble. Wells and Whitley is $14.244.769.00.


Annual value of grain and hay supplies in Allen and neighboring counties, which include Adams. DeKalb. Huntington, Noble, Wells and Whitley is $16.698.948.00.


Allen County offers splendid opportunities for increased milk production and the possibility of the establishment of plants using milk and milk products in the City of Fort Wayne.


The possibility of growing vegetables in large quantities for canning purposes is also apparent to those who are authorities on the agricultural situation in the county.

ELECTRIC POWER


Fort Wayne obtains electric power for manufacturing and lighting purposes from the Indiana Service Corporation and the City Light and Power Works.


The foregoing plurality of supply in combination with the concentric feeder rings insures an extremely high class of electric service, both as to continuity and as to voltage regulation.


Electric rates in Fort Wayne for both lighting and power purposes are among the lowest. if not the lowest. in this section of the country. Electricity is being used ex- tensively in Fort Wayne for industrial heating purposes as well as other processes where large quantities of electric energy at low cost are required.


INDIANA SERVICE CORPORATION


Electric energy is furnished to the City of Fort Wayne by the Indiana Service Corporation and also by a municipally owned plant. The Indiana Service Corpora- tion also operates the street railways within the city and all the interurban lines ema- nating therefrom. In addition. it provides electric energy to numerous municipali- ties over a radius of up to one hundred miles from Fort Wayne.


The Indiana Service Corporation has a local generating plant with a capacity of approximately 35,000 K. V. A., as compared with a maximum system demand of approximately 35.000. In addition to its own generating station it has a connection with the high tension line of the American Gas and Electric Company. which runs from South Bend. Indiana, to Wheeling. West Virginia. This connection is rated at 30.000 K. V. A. and would in itself be able to furnish the company's entire require- ments. Besides this connection. the company has four other interconnections of lesser

capacity at various points of the system. One of these draws power from a hydro- electric development to the west of Fort Wayne.


The company's distribution lines are laid out in accord with the most modern practice. . The city is surrounded by a 33.000 volt loop line feeding various sub- stations and other 33,000 volt radial lines. A 13.000 volt loop line circles around some distance within the city limits and provides energy to most of the major indus- tries. A second 13,000 volt loop encloses the downtown area. The downtown district is served by means of an underground network system, which is considered the last word in design for this type of service: its engineering features are such that even a momentary interruption is practically impossible.


The following are the rates in effect in Fort Wayne by the Indiana Service Cor- poration :
