STATE ONE OF FOUR WITH ELECTRIC UNIT

Daily Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BASKERVILL
Raleigh, March 11.—Only three other states besides North Carolina are regarded by Washington as having active and definite rural electrification authorities, Chairman Dudley Bagley of the State Authority, said today, following receipt of word from Washington to this effect. The other three states are South Carolina, Alabama and Ohio.
"From word we hear from Washington, however, it appears that the rural electrification authorities think we are doing about as good a job as any of these other State authorities," Bagley said. "So far we have gotten over 1,200 miles of rural lines either built or under contract and without a single dollar of government money to help us. In fact, most of these rural electric lines have been built or are being built by the public utility companies doing business in the State or by municipal electric plants, who have been giving the finest kind of cooperation from the outset."
