PETITION OF BUSINESS

cessions which would enable \a/

Without its cooperation . !

would have been practically impossible thereby thfrowing a considerable

Although the granting of this reG-& E., involves a
very considerable amount of time and
trouble on their part to work out a
solution, and was in the nature of
an innovation, the request was granted. This ‘only goes to show that notwithstanding more or less loose publie-opinion, a large public utility corporatiom is quick to heed the needs
