V '!•;.-/ Appreciation of the atd given by these men and their associates in the Citizens Association of Chicago in pushing^ an investigation which secured the indict- ment of the Commissioner of the City Department of Gas and Electricity and five other persons on charges of crim- inal conspiracy to defraud, the city, is expressed in the accompanying letter directed to the association by Attorney General Brundage. J The letter reads as follows: * â- â- : "I want to thank you, and through you the Citizens' Association, for the assistance you rendered us in the in- vestigation of the Department of Gas and Electricity of Chicago, which, re- sulted in the indictment of the Com- missioner and five others. Hi^It was your Association that first 1&lv«I 'into the matter and^gave to u& the leads which were followed up and resulted in the indictments. '•Already the City has received more than $30,000 worth of material which -it would not-have wcefvwHwitfor this investigation, and in addition thereto it should receive between $100,000 and $200,000 from the contractor or on the bonds given by the contractor. i "I think your Association * is to be much commended for its efforts which Iprevented this letting of any contracts lunder the Two Million Dollar Bond flssue, approved over a year ago. Had It not been for your action, the City Iwould likely have sustained a loss of Jprobably half of the money raised by the IBbnd Issue. North shore leaders who are promi- nent in the Citizens' Association of Chicago include Shelby M. Singleton, of Wilmette, secretary and attorney, Frederick W. Burlingham, Winnetka; George E.

SAYS UTILITIES SHOULD USE MORE ADVERTISING Reason's why public utility com- panies should do consistent newspaper advertising are cited in a statement made by VK P. Strandborg, President of the Public Utilities Advertising Association, which held its first annual convention with the Association Ad- vertising Clubs of the World, with which it is affiliated, at Atlantic City early in June. kr. Strandborg told utility company executives that their companies should advertise because: ,^~_^- They have a $17,000,000,000 invest- ment to protect. They do a $3,000,000 000 worth of business a year, and because intel- ligent advertising will stimulate it to greater growth. The business comes into more inti- mate daily contact with more people than any other line of business in the world. The business, which is so essential to the comfort and well-being of the people, is highly technical and the public does not understand it. The problems are the problems of the people and their sympathetic un- derstanding and support is needed.
