Vol. 2, No. 1 Decembtr, 1928 Bangor, Me. lterry <n ~riatntaa! i!appg New ljear! 1,Employees of t~e 1.Bangor i!!y~ro-1,Electric <no. The Bangor Hydro-Electric News, our Company paper, is still an infant and we are now entering the second year of its publication. From the favorable reports I have received from many of the employees in our several districts I believe the paper is filling a long needed want in keeping the members of our organization informed of the Company's activities, its devel· opments and progress, thus bringing about a better understanding between the various divisions and departments. The year 1928 about to close, has been a year of progress. .Many extensions have been made into new communi· ties, transmission and distribution lines have been rebuilt and about 40,000,000 kilowatt hours per year have been added to our generating capacity.
