During the last several months the
general system of increase that has
been imperative has been granted to
the employees, who, however, when thew
received this advance, were informed
that they were expected to fulfil their
duties to the public and the company
to the utmost of their ability. This
feeling Of being public servants with
definite responsibility and with a
real service to perform has made of
the Kings County Lighting Company a
public institution of which we are all
proud. This spirit is that Of the en-
ployes, to whom all credit belongs, and
do not hesitate to make public the
statement that l feel there will be no
disturbances so far as we are con-
ccerned, for the spirit Of the orcaniza-
