ISSUES STATEMENT
20 Our Patrons and the Public:

To Our Patrons and the Public:
Patriotism of the American people
and the backing up of our soldiers
across the sea had much to do with
the brilliant success and speedy end
ing of the war.
The sacrifice and the patriotic re-
Spouse of the people and the business
concerns in all parts of the country
to the requirements of the govern
ment have been amply rewarded
Public utilities have been subjected
to many rules, regulations and re-
strictions and have in many instances
been unduly criticised for failing to
render service due to conditions over
which they had no control. Trained
employees have had to be released to
answer the call to arms: the great
equipment factories of the country
were taken over by the government
and all materials were Communicated
for war purposes making it necessary
to abandon plans for betterments and
extensions of operating companies,
due to these conditions.
The Arkansas Light and Power
Company has made a vigorous effort
to meet these conditions and to rem
der the best service possible, notwith-
standing the excessive cost of opera
ton, inadequate and inexperienced
labor. However, with but few ex-
ceptions, our customers have been
rnn cny q n 10 rt To hot
der such conditions it was not pos.
sible to maintain the same efficiency
of service as before the war, and to
these friends we take this opportun-
fly to express our appreciation and
gratitude.
The return to normal conditions
will necessarily be slow. Patience
and cooperation on the part of the
public will do more to facilitate mat
tiers than anything else
With the conclusion of the peace
treaty with European countries won
derful opportunities will come to the
United States as a result, Of estab-
fishing most favorable trade con-
ditions together with vast require
ments for reconstruction.
If Arkansas is to effectively partici-
pate in the prosperity that will sure
ly follow for several years to come,
better understanding and closer
cooperation of business interests
and the public must be reached for
the purpose of securing factories rs
utilize our raw materials and develop
our natural resources. Therefore, it
is essential that we increase our ia
cilities and this can only be accom-
plished by giving your loyal support
and assistance to the public utilities.
eliminating the spirit OF antaganism
and by giving them encouragement;
failure to do this means you will re-
tard the progress and development of
the state and neglect to take adj
vantage of many opportunities now
open to you.
Now let us put away the knockers
and let our slogan be go operation to
build a greater Arkansas
Very truly yours.
