'Al my experience has taught me that the
city Of Richmond would be better off to get
rid OF its public utilities. The city cannot run
these along the lines that would be followed by
a private corporation. Perhaps | should not
talk to you, stranger as | do but it is never
theless fact / am heartily in favor of accept
ing the proposition of the Southern Gas and
Electric Corporation and the income derived
from that source and others of the same kind
