"Douglas Area: Douglas Area was started in December 1949 and completed in May 1950. The original number of economic acceptances was 328, with a corresponding Fixed Charge Revenue of £1,952. The final figures for the area were 348 acceptances and F.C.R. of £2,064. Due to the increase in the number of consumers, the original authorised amount was somewhat over‑expended but the final percentage increased from 9.4% to 9.55%.
