would be announced shortly.
Rumors of a call for a final assessment
of $3.50 II share on Philadelphia Electric

panN, however Is expanding rapidly, and
doubtless could find ample use for the
money thus obtained. According to tho

he eNactod without making any credit
payment out of surplus as heretofore. Tho
stock gave no sign by its market action
that any such development might be
pending.
