for the statement of the Board is
that they made approximately $11, :
10000 during the past two years,
while the sworn statement of the
kennesaw Paper Company, on file
with the Railroad Commission, shows
that they lost $4,000 per year dur
ing this period. The City plant
showed a profit of over $4,000 in
December 1915, when they had this

patron of the Board found that he
was paying meter rate that aver

his next door neighbor was getting
lights off the same Transformer at
a flat rate of $1.00, and protesting

but the loss of a patron? And the
patron they were losing was the one
who was paying them the profitable

They never denied my contention
that their charge of $500 per year
is Illegal. They evaded every ma

and yet they call on the citizens to
say who is right about the matter
