An examination of this Balance Sheet shows that our cash balance
on December 31st, which always includes provision for the dividend pay
able on January 15th following, was much larger than usual. By the
time that this report is submitted to the shareholders this balance will
be reduced to about $5,500,000.00, by the payment of the January divi
dend and the consummation of a transaction upon which we were engaged
for several months prior to December 31st, resulting in an investment
by us of $5,400,000.00 in the Bonds of tho Northern Indiana Gas nnd
Electric Company (in which we are very largely interested as a share
holder) to enable that Company to purchase the properties of the Indiana.
Lighting Company, General Service Company, Lima Gas Light Company,
and'an interest in the Capital Stock of the Peru Gas Company.
These Companies are doing the gas business in Fort Wayne, BJuff
ton, Decatur, LoganBport, Wabash, Frankfort, Lebanon, LaFayette, Craw- '
fordsville, and Peru, Indiana, and in Lima, Ohio.
For advances to and the purchase of securities of other1 Companies
in which we are interested, to provide for the extension and improvement
of their plants, we will be called upon to furnish during 1916 about
$10,000,000.00. Provision has been made to meet these requirements.
While many large public service corporations were compelled during
1914, and a part of 1915, to reduce, and in some cases to entirely suspend,
'dividends, because of inability to secure cash for necessary extensions
and improvements from any source except Net Earnings, The UnitW
Gas Improvement Company and the Companies in which it is. interested,,
have been able to perform their full public duty, in maintaining, extend
ing and efficiently operating their plants, without change in their
regular dividend rate. This was largely due to the conservative policy
of previous years in accumulating out of Undivided Profits and Investing
in the business a fund, the income from which can be drawn upon to.
furnish a portion of the capital needed for such extension and im
provement of the properties of the Companies in which, we are inter
ested, as are absolutely essential if they are to cover their field of activity
to the satisfaction of the public,, proper service to whom ia the prime reason
for their existence.
This satisfactory report has been made possible not only by the finaa-
cial policy above referred to, but -because the employes of The United
Gas Improvement Company and of the Companies in which The United,
Gas Improvement Company ia a shareholder, constitute un organization
with no superior in integrity and efficiency and In loyalty to one another,
to the public and to their employers. It ia a pleasure to the President
and Board of Directors to place on record this tribute to their co-worker
