For the first time in the
history of the 20-year-old
REA program, the average
cost of power to residential
consumers, including farm
and non-farm, dropped un-
der three cents per kilowatt
hour. In a year-end sum-
mary of the REA, a U. S
Department of Agriculture
report shows that the sgle
of electric energy went up
J 6 percent and the cost To
consumers dropped 5 per-
cent during 1955.
The REA-financed sys-
tems sold an estimated 19
billion kilowatt-hours of
electricity. Their genera-
tion of power was up 21 per-
cent and purchases of
wholesaleT>ower were up 13
percent.
At the year’s end there
were 1,026 borrowers with
systems in operation; They
were serving 3,244,000 ru-
ral consumers.
Ancher Nelsen, REA ad-
ministrator,' said the bor-
rowers, largely farmer-own-
ed electric cooperatives,
were never in better finan-
cial condition. In 1955 rev-
enues from operations to-
taled $453 million, an 11
percent increase over 1954.

TtopramoimYrnbtrr$«i .8 mil-

Too, Nelsen reported ’ a
drop of. 25 percent in the
number oi borrowers whose
current operations might be
considered financially un-
satisfactory, from 194 in
June, 1954, to 143 in June,
1955.
In 1955 the systems paid
$111.2 million in principal
and interest on their 2-per-
cent loans and continued
their excellent repayment
record. In 1955 the boi-
rowers also increased their
advance repayment of bor-
rowed money by $13.2 mil-
