Mr.. Best said the matter of renewal of
light contracts was referred to the Finance
committee, but he had no information to
give. but perhaps Mr.. Clymer had. Mr.
CIymer said he wss only one of the Com

him to make report when there had
been no meeting of the Committee. Ex-
plantations followed between Mr.. Best and
Mr.. Clymer, which resulted in laying the
matter of the light contracts over for two
weeks.
