that all these conditions-the payment by

corporation through its rates to private
consumers-increase the dividends on the

expense of the private consumers of cleo

He declared that completion Of the

the first step toward correcting this
condition, and that the commission is
confident it can accomplish the other
steps under existing law within A rea-
