come consistent dividend payer only
in recent years, the soundness Of its
financial position and the progressive
nature of the management make for
hopeful future. Columbia Gas and
Electric Company has practically dou-
bled it's gross business during the last
seven years. Ten years ago the com
pany was scarcely earning anything on

sale Of oil. To the extent that the
present rate Of dividend is dependent on

a hazard in this stock. The present
price clearly suggests the general ex-
pectation among traders that an In

The committee, headed by Eugene

that the tax burden must continue
heavy for many years because of the

"The whole situation as TO tar ar
