The Laclede Gas and Lighting Company, | found, was purchased by the Utilities Power and Light Cor- poration in May, 1929, In the first year, the corporation spent $1,269,026 in extensions and improvements, and in 1930 spent $963,814 for the same purpose. Thus it provided for exten- sion of the service to all parts of the city. In Tanuary of this year, it made arrangements, as a result of discov- eries in scientific rese arch, to sccnre a supply of natural gas from Louisi- ana, to be piped to St. Louis, to he mixed with the manufactured gas for certain industries, and to make "A WONDERFUL CANADIAN GROW IH" CANADA :~Well, wally' Who would have thought that the little vine root I saw planted fifty years ago would cover the world in that time, : + | Reptintod from Montreal Daily Star, Mareh 3, 1991, by courtesy of Mr, A.

At that time, this action of the compahy wag highly 'praised by Mayor Miller for what he termed its "recognition of its obligation ty the public," Gas Rages Found Fair The gas rates which tie con.pany can charge are fixed, in this state, by the State Public Service. Commission, which in the early part of 1929, fixed rates on the basis of the company's valuation, These rates were strongly attacked by the city, but on the case being taken to the courts and made the basis of arbitration, it was tound that the rates were absolutely fair, and they were sustained in their en- tirety, m accordance with the figures quoted in a previous article, From newspaper clippings and articles, 1 learned a great deal regarding the operations of Utilities Power and Light in this district, and reached the following conclusions from my study: That the corporation asked for rates which were found, after the most searching inquiry and examina- tion, to be eminently fair, That the company has always been willing to extend the service as re- quired, and has shown a willingness to spend money freely on improve- ments. That the financial stability of the Utilities Power, and Light Corpora- tion is unquestioned. That it has shown itsélf to be a Progressive compahy in advancing *s ideals of public service. That it has always recognized its obligations to the public. That its operations have a wide scope, far beyond that of merely op- erating a gas system, and that its technical advisers include men who are recognized as the outstanding gas engineers in the United tSates. These are conclusions reached after an impartial and unprejudiced study of all the material at hand. The company has, of course, had its bat- tles with the city administration on the question of rates, but never on the point of service, and it is striking that in the battles over rates, the courts found that the company was right, Opinion of Company High I have taken many onnortunitics of discussing tlie Bas situation in St, Louis and the opinion held of Utilit- ies, Power and Light, with many citi: zens. For instance, this morning | met S. T Irving, manager of the Simmons Hardware Company, and a prominent St. Louis business man His opinion of the corporation was of the highest, and he said, very frankly, "If the Utilities Power and Light Corporation goes into Oshawa, then you are very lucky." I discussed the corporation with S. D. Wheeler, vice-president of the Litchfield and Madison Railway, who held that position long before it was taken over by the U.P. and L., ¥nd he testified, with pride, to its recotd as a high class service corporation, and one which did all its business in a big way. In a street car I tackled two work- ing men who happened to sit down beside me, on the subject, and, while they were not the type to be asser- tive in what they said, they statad that they had no complaints to make about the gas company, nor about the way it was doing business in St. Louis. It may seem unusual to find so many people in 'agreement as to the good points of any private corpora- tion, but yet it has been so. The corporation, althought privately own- ed, is looked upon as a public utility body, giving a service in a public utility, and there has never been even a suggestion that a public utility like gas should be taken over as a muni- cipality-owned service. This atternoon, rather late, I mot- ored out through South 'Illinois to Staunton, to see the mine of the Mount, Olive and Staunton Mini ~ Company, which is also owned an operated by the Utilities Power and Light Corporatian ag a link in its chain of utilities, Unfortunately the men were coming out of the mie when I arrived there, so the trip down into the bowels of the earth was deferred uatil tomorrow fore- noon, when, in company with S.

P, and L. 1f I were to record my impressions so far, from what I have found out regarding the Utilities Power and Light Corporation, I do not think I could do any better than echo the words of Mr, Irving, "If the Utilities Power and Light Corporation goes into Oshawa, the people of Oshawa are very lucky."
