of the stock returned from England was easily absorbed.
 To have large number of custom CTS interested in the company. and have voice in it's control, it is be- lieved to be just as desirable as it is to have the employees of concern owners of stock in the company to as large an extent as, their means permit. If the users of electric cur rent are owners of the company which produces it. the argument runs, there will be little chance, it is thought for anything but good man. agement and fair dealing to all con cerned.
 From the standpoint of the pur- chaser, it is pointed out, the stock is very attractive. The company has served the community for many years without interruption of service. Until war conditions greatly increased the cost of coal and labor. the price of current had been steadily reduced. The relations of the company with the city have always been friendly. and any questions arising have been quickly and fairly settled. The new stock issued at frequent intervals to stockholders in proportion to their holdings, gives an. incentive to save
 
 time d substantial amount of stock at low price,
 Opinion in the Street seems to be that the demand for stock under the company's offer will be much great CT than the amount available.
