Company Report to Stockholders Gross revenues of the Utah Power Light company, after nearly a $3,- 000,000 decline in four years, turned upward in 1934, but net revenues 'shrunk $302,109 below 1933 due to added tax burdens and emergency operating expenses, G. M. Gadsby. president, said in his annual report to 17,000 stockholders Monday. The report shows operating revenues of the power company alone in 1934 were $305,878 more than in 1933. Mr. Gadsby said this four per cent Increase was more than gratifying because of the necessity of meeting emergency expenditures amounting to $576,000, principal causes of which were: Drouth conditions, necessitating channel deepening at Bear Lake, operation of Jordon steam plant, and additional hydro plant maintenance, which increased total generation cost of $299,000 over 1933.
