a two-story structure, providing suit

they are expected in about a week or
10 days. 1t will require little time
to get the new charges adjusted, both
because of the necessity for adding
stamps to those imprinted on envel-

This vote was given unanimously.
1t is probable that representative
committee will be named to treat with
the company.

Mr.. Pack as the representative OF one
or the "soulless corporations but add
ed that he had been warned that Mr.

less. On the contrary, he insisted, the
tendency is all toward the better. In
cidentally, said Mr.. Pack, the modern
Gay corporation is not necessarily
waxing fat on its receipts.
Il am going to tell you our trou-
bles, our hopes, our ambitions and to
indicate to you that only with your
cooperation can the public utility
organization survive" said Mr.. Pack.
Il am not here to plead for sym.
pathy. / know that for q public utility
organization sympathy is impossible.
But am going to put our case fairly,
frankly before You that you may see
both sides and judge for yourselves"
. Mr.. Pack then delved into the finan-
ces of the electric. heating, gas and
street railway systems. The street rail-
way company, Mr.. Pack declared. ac-
tually ia losing money. The Northern
States Power company would be bet
ter off without it. he said
The gas company. he declared, is
just ABOUT breaking even. The electric
and heating organizatio are the only
actual profit makers. he said.
To indicate more clearly the accuf-
acy of these statements Mr.. Pack went
back 1--WE years. First he took each one
of these enterprises through its finan-
ces of these five years. Then he took
the four of them in a lump through
the five years.
The figures (which he gave indicated
that the company on its four utility
here-electric, heating. gas
and traction, the Northern States
ton, is earning actually less than the
eight per cent which 1t considers a
fair return on the investment.
Furthermore, said Mr.. Pack, the
year 1917 does not promise to be BY
any means a banner one. On the other
hand 1t already threatens to show q
decline all along the line.
Some of you grumble over the high
cost of living problem" said Mr. Pack.
We'll you may. But we have the same
problem, on a larger scale, which each
one OF you encounters in your home
and business. Our coal cost shows an
actual net increase of $25,650.
Copper is $50 per cent higher, line
hardware so per cent, meters 80 per
cent. poles 80 per cent, pipe rs per
cent. But In the face Of this the utili
