Wisconsin Utilities Association, has
appointed seven committees, whose
membership includes utility men
from all parts of the state, to carry

ascertain how radio can be more eff
fectively used in the detection of
wire leaks, which cause losses to
companies as well as create interfer-
ence with radio reception. Other re-
search work will deal with improve
ment in telephone and electric trans
mission where lines parallel each
other, rural electric service, meter
inspection, underground and over
head wire systems, power factor and
cooperation with the University of
Wisconsin.
The committees and their mem
bers follow:
