some lawful object within the corporate

purposes of the applicant, and

compatible with the public interest, and

is reasonably necessary or appropriate

for such purposes.

The Commission reserves the right to

require a further showing that neither

public nor private interests will be

securities or assumptions of liability.

Notice is hereby given that the
