Committeeman E. E. Mead made a
statement that pleased most of those *
in attendance. This was to the effect .
that the commercial electric business
of the district is paying a not profit of
40 per cent. Mr. Mead added that
when he first took the position on the
committee he had been opposed to the
commercial and of the business. be-
lieving it to be a losing venture. but
he had since become convinced that
it is a very good inmtment for the
district.
Mr. Mead explained the several pe-
titions for increase in the service. One
was for a line to the properties of John
