Excludes firewood. Includes Newfoundland commencing in 19S0. (S)
Output of central electric stations generated by water, less exports, plus
power generated and used by the manufacturing and mining industries.
Primary power calculated at the constant 1926 rate of 1.95 lbs. of coal
per kilowatt hour plus secondary power sold by central electric stations
calculated at its actual b.t.u. equivalent of 3.415 b.t.u. per kilowatt hour.
Primary power is calculated at the coal equivalent, based on the average (6)
efficiency of central electric stations in the United States as reported by
the Edison Electric Institute. Because of increased efficiency in the
utilization of coal this average decreased from the equivalent of 1.95 lbs. (7)
of coal per kilowatt hour in 1926 to 1.24 lbs. in 1951. Secondary power
sold by central electric stations is calculated at its actual b.t.u. per kilo-
watt hour.
Includes anthracite coal, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite (8)
coal and imported coke. The unit heat values employed are: anthracite,
26,400.000 b.t.u. per ton: bituminous, 26,200,000 b.t.u. per ton: sub-bitu- (9)
minous and lignite, 20,000,000 b.t.u. per ton: coke, 20,000,000 b.t.u. per ton. *
For the years 1941 to 1949 inclusive, sum of sales by retail dealers, con-
sumption by industry, railways and by coke and gas plants plus the
amount used by the colleries and supplied to employees. For earlier years,
the sum of sales by Canadian coal mines, colliery consumption, coal sup-
plied to employees and coal used in making coke, etc., less tonnage bunk-
ered and exported.
For years 1941 to 1949 inclusive, sum of sales by retail dealers, consumption
by industry and by railways: for earlier years imports for consumption
excluding foreign coal re-exported and bunkered.
The coal equivalent of the sum of gasoline, fuel and gas oils and kerosene
estimated by the D.B.S. and converted to b.t.u.'s on the basis of 1 ton of
coal equals 26,000,000 b.t.u., plus petroleum coke consumed as fuel
calculated at the rate of 30,000,000 b.t.u. per ton.
Sales and consumption by producers. The unit heat value employed is
1,075 b.t.u. per cubic foot.
Including water power calculated at the yearly average coal equivalent.

* The tabulation includes all those companies with 1941 assets over S200.000
for which consistent reports were available from 1935-1951. The accounts
of certain companies which were available in some or all of these years were
not comparable throughout the period and had to be excluded. Since many
of the companies report on a consolidated basis, the number of individual
companies included in the sample is actually a good deal larger than in-
dicated. The material is, of course, subject to all the limitations and
qualifications which apply to the ba9ic accounting statements.
t Figures are available on request for the years 1936-40 inclusive.
(1) For purposes of comparability, any special capital charges made against
income account in company reports have been added back as well as
"contingent" and "general" reserves. Special inventory reserves, whether
shown by the company in operating expenses or as an adjustment to earned
surplus, have been deducted in arriving at Net Operating Profit. For the
Total 603 Companies the special inventory reserves amounted to 10.9,
5.8, 2.9, 4.2,-1.8,2.5, 14.2, 1.7, 1.3, 6.3 and -5.2, in the years 1941-51 re-
spectively.

ively.
(3) The Source and Use of Funds Statement is designed to show net cash
received from all sources and paid out for all purposes; revaluations or
purely bookkeeping transactions which affect items of the Balance Sheet
particularly Plant, Property and Equipment, Preferred and Common
Stock Outstanding and, in a few instances. Funded Debt, are not reflected
in the Source and Use of Funds Statement.
(4) Includes amortization of bond discount.
(5) Includes adjustments relating to tax accruals and other transactions of
previous years.
(6) Special inventory reserves have been deducted.
(7) Reserves for depreciation and depletion have been deducted.
(8) Includes current accounts receivable from subsidiaries and fixed invest-
ment in subsidiaries less current and non-current accounts payable to
subsidiaries.
(9) Includes bond discount and other deferred charges, deferred development,
etc.
(10) Includes pension fund reserves, insurance reserves and advance payments
on contracts (net) and government accounts (net).
(11) Bonds and mortgages outstanding less sinking fund.
(12) Includes contingent and general reserves, capital surplus and the refund-
able portion of the Excess Profits Tax.
