The matter of approving the ac-
counting and the petitions is not
within the jurisdiction of Bankruptcy
Referee Edwin G. Adams, and no
opinion was given by him on the
subject. He stated he would certify
to the federal judges of the United
States District Court that no oppo-
sition to the accounting or to the
petitions had been presented and the
Judges would pass on the accountings
and name the allowances.
1t was expected that there would
be quite some opposition to the petit
tons for allowances. as the figures
seemed to run high.

McCarter on Advance OF
Electric Light Business

Several hundred employees of the
Public Service Electric Company
were addressed last night at the main
Thomas N. McCarter, president of
the concern. The occasion was a
meeting of the company section of
the National Electric Light Associa-
ton.
Mr. McCarter's talk had to do with
the affairs of the company and the
growth of it's business. He told how,
in the early days of the industry the
companies then in existence had vir-
tually to depend upon street lighting
contracts for their source of income.
Gradually the commercial lighting
business was developed, and in re-
cent years the practically new bust
ness of supplying commercial power
was taken up and has already as
suned enormous proportions at
rates that would have startled those
engaged in the industry in its early
days.
Mr. McCarter told of the lack of
confidence in the future of the cleo
trio business held by those who were
responsible for the organization of
the Public Service. A little more
than ten years ago he confessed that
he personally was none too favorably
impressed with the outlook, but he
went on to say that the volume of
business has grown so great that not
withstanding large reductions in rate
those who came to scott in this early
days remained to praise,
The president told his men that it
was his ambition to have the service
