hands during the two years JuSL closing. The drouth, the bad financial conditions over the
 country generally, which were
 reflected in Williams, and the
 impossibility of securing cheap fuel, have made these two years

 business ability of the present council.

 plishment of this council is that

 plant on a paying basis. Today, thanks to the friendly coopera- tion of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company together with careful financial engineering of the town council, the Williams electric department is making a profit. Arrangements have been made to use slabs from the
 mill for fuel and by thus cutting the fuel expense more than in half, a good sized monthly pro- fit is now being made
