TRUE PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP
/^WNERSHIP of our
public utility enter
prises is not held by a few
individuals. The electric
power industry has been
a pioneer in permitting the
small investor to enjoy the
benefits formerly reserved
for the capitalist. Today
public service companies
are rapidly becoming great
community enterprises
owned by the employees,
customers and genera 1
public, who have thus in
vested their savings.
This is true “Public Own
ership," but without the
evils of “Political Opera
tion."

of the rows consist of a hedge shrub
of trees placed about one foot apart
and the third row is a large tree placed
