Assurances Given

In response to holders ques-
tioning the ACCESSIBILITY of the
stock increase, Mr.. Dunn gave
these assurances:
/. The large increase in
authorized stock is designed to
meet growth needs over a long
term of years and will not be
used all at once.
2. Directors do not contem-
plate early issuance of as much
as million shares.
8. With higher earnings as
sured by a new rate increase.
he is confident that the present
$1-a-share rate can be main
tanned on any new shares issued.

tive rights to buy them.

Supported by Booker

Among stockholders support
ing the company's plan for more
stock, Y. E. Booker summarized
the views of a number by de-
claring that company could not
continue to grow without addi-
tional common stock.
Mr.. Dunn said directors Of
the company and the District
Public Utilities Commission felt
that equity financing was neces-
sary SO as to keep the proper
ton of funded debt within rea-
sonable limits compared with
other similar companies.
With $4,000 authorized but
unissued shares already on hand,
the additional As million shares
will raise the total authorized,
but uniSsued shares to 1882 800.
Mr.. Dunn said the new fare
increase should raise earnings
to around $1.40 a share in 1855;
that if it had been in effect in
all of 1854. it would have brought
in $1.50 a share.
