The reports showed that the company
has no debt now,
Among the interesting points shown
by the reports was the cost OF the repairs
necessitate1 by the floods Of last July
and August. The expense oil these re-
pairs was stated at $4,000,
The question OF the adoption Of
meters was earnestly discussed, and-in

that the delivery Of gas under the con.
tract system is unsatisfactory to both
consumer and producer.

resigned.
