ing to preliminary figures made public
following the company's annual meeting
yesterday, amounted to s1.30S, 900. while

icit after dividends $5.692. 900, against
$2,909,356.
George b. Cortelyou, president, told

sales of gas for the year totalled 1885,
$4,000 cubic feet, 12.4S per cent. in
crease over 1919. while electricity sales
aggregated 1.0S9,476.O00 kilowatt hours

ceding year.

against s1747.269 in 1919. Although
State and municipal taxes were higher.

formed the syndicate which underwrote
the French Cities $45.000,00o loan.
whatever portion OF the loan had not
been absorbed by the lst of February,
1927. II has. therefore, made arrange
ments from its own resources to pay TO
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. on February i the
sum of s23.S00, 900, being the value of
the securities remaining in their hands
at that date.
"On February / also the French Gov
ernment will pay to the United States
Treasury $4,000. 900. being semi-annual
interest payment on the $400.000,000 of
