PUBLIC RELATIONS SECTION OF THE ARKANSAS UTILITIES ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN FORMED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC.

To disseminate information con- corning utility business, using advef- Using space in newspapers and other mediums, is the purpose of the pub lie relations section of the Arkansas Utilities Assoeiation{ establishment of which was decided upon at a meet ing of the executive committee of the association here a few days ago. C. J. Griffith, president of the state as- sociation and manager of the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company, will be chairman of the section, with A. C. Whidden, until recently man. aging editor of the Pine Bluff Daily Graphic, as Manager, and s. R. Brough, manager Arkansas Water Co.,, Little Rock, as treasurer. Offices have been opened at 20o15 Spring street.
 The Arkansas Utilities Association is made up of representatives of street railway, electric light and pow CT, water, gas and telephone com panies serving various communities turnout the state. The executive committee is composed of C. J. Grif- fifth, Little Rock; D. C. Green, Fort Smith; 5. E. Dillon, Hot Springs; H. c. Couch, Pine Bluff; J. F. Chris ty, Jonesboro; s. H. Brough, Little Rock; ]. s. M. Wharton, Helena; and W. J. Thorpe, Little Rock.
 Arkansas is the seventh state 10 establish such a section on public information about utilities" said MT. Griffith, today. The states where such sections have been established are: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska. The utili- ties operators and their owners hundreds of thousands of small in- vestors-have come to realize that 1t is a mistake not to keep the public informed about their business. For, after all, il is the public that suffers or prospers as the utility suffers or prospers.
 s'It is our plan to publish inform ation to show the people of Arkansas just what the utilities means to them. Not only in comfort and protection, but in the development of state and community resources-the providing of new opportunities for profit to the individual Because, without electricity and water services we would not have the industries, the cities, the opportunities for pleasure and profit that are ours today.
 Arkansas wonderful resources are not being developed as rapidly as they should be because of the inn pressions extant in some quarters that there is a tendency to discrimi- nate against investors in public and other large enterprises. IL is to show the detrimental effect of this tend- ency, and to serve as a clearing house for information from other states relative to operating methods that this section of the association is es- tablished
