PATRONS WILL MISS HIM.
Arnold c. Reuter- Sewers Connection
With the Watert0wn Gas and
Electric Company.

Arnold c. Reuter-, who for the past
few years has been the able manager
of the Watertown Gas and Electric
company, will sever his connection
with the same October /. He has been
in the employ Of the company for quite
number of years, beginning as a me-
ter reader, working his way upward
by attending to business to chief clerk
and manager. He is a young man of
good business ability, of exemplary
habits and gentlemanly department
and held in high esteem by all who
have transacted business with him.
The company is losing the services of
a gentleman and valuable employe,
who gave freely of his time and best
efforts for it's success and will be mis-
sed by the patrons of the company,
who have learned to esteem him for
his worth as man and officer of the
company. He will continue to reside
in Watertown much to the pleasure of
his many friends in the city and en-
gage in business of some kind, but he
has not as yet decided as to what it
may be.
Mr.. Reuter- will be succeeded by
A. c. Babson, who is now in the city
He comes here from Madison, where
he had charge of the power develop
nent for the Wisconsin River Power
company.
The local lighting and power COM
pany has been doing business since
July l under the name of the Wiscon-
sin Gas and Electric company, Water
town division. While formal announ-
cement has not been made of the fact,
it is generally understood at the time
that the Watertown Gas and Electric
company and the Burlington company
had been taken over by the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company, with main
offices at Racine, this company having
its nucleus in a consolidation of the
Racine and Kenosha companies some
months before.
