system always-because she is

posal of its Northern properties.
The step was regarded as termi-
mating the company's fight against
dismemberment under the Public

a fight long led by Wendell L. Will
kie, former president of the COM
pany.
The Northern properties include
Consumers Power Co., Ohio Edison

sylvania Power.
Commonwealth e. Southern would
continue to function through inte-
grafton of its southern properties
Alabama Power Co.. Georgia Power
Co., Mississippi Power Co. and South
Carolina Power Co.
Although the plan was described
as still embryonic, its chief features,
besides integration of the Southern
units, we're said to be elimination
of the parent concerns remaining
debt and the reasonable" salts
faction of preferred stockholders
claims.
In early Stock Exchange dealings
today, the preferred stock provided
one of the stronger points in the

sentative of the Reconstruction

representing Metropolitan Life In
surance Co.; John w. Stedman, rep
