treasurer of the Edgemoor and the
Wilmington Companies, sent answers.
Mr. Crosby stated that his company,
as lessees of both roads had no means
Of reporting the operations of the
companies as such. 1t was likewise
stated in the letter that there was
some doubt as to whether the COM
pany should report its operations,
under the statute of the state re-
ferred to.
Mr. Crockett inquired whether his
companies came under the statute, as
they were not operating companies,
but only leased lines. In his commu-
nication he expressed a willingness to
fulfill any requirements of the law,
bearing on the companies.
1t was decided to refer the CORE
spondence to City Solicitor Daniel o.
Hastings before further action is
taken The Board also decided to
hold a special meeting in the near
future when the amendments TO the
Utility Commission Act VIII be pre-
sented for consideration. These
amendments are being prepared by
Mr.. Hastings.
It was stated that much complaint
has been heard relative to the near
