~ ENG mindful of our customers interest and
realizing fully the necessity for continuous
electric service both for light and power
we have been accommodating for the past several
months reserve supply Of coal at our generating
stations in anticipation of the existing serious fuel
situation.
Our present coal reserve represents a cash
outlay of some Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,O0O),
and is sufficient we believe to insure the full opera
ton of our plants without interruption for the dura-
ton of the strike.
The value of reliable source of power and
light to the modern town or city in critical time,
such as this, be easily appreciated by every cit
izen.
When we have completed the extensions and
improvements now being made to care for the con-
stantly increasing demand for electricity the prop

Half Millions of Dollars. The largest and health
