It appears] to me that the Ideal under­ taking Is that which Is efficient, yet sroaU enough to] know Its consumers.:! Such undertakings, irrespective of toelr rtze, should be ]preserved and I submit that the personal touch of the, man on the spot, [who knows the local condtUons aim who:te known to his consumers, counts for a great deal. Even % McGowan Committee admit the value&f personal touch. Furthermore, the contention that the largest undertakings do mot bv w meaiis give the best service, Is reflected In the fact that In 1935 there^ were 4,000,000 unwlred homes In Great Britain and bf! these 80 per cent, were already included' In' the areas o f : large undertakings. The bases ; ^ advantages' claimed for amalgamation are riot defined. They offer nojuarantee for Improvements at all. . TTpe supply of electricity: In CUtheroe! was switched on iri March, 1927, and in the first year c thefb were 250,000 units consumed byOlO


ten years’ experience, we are distributing at the rate of 15,000,000 units a yearpnd
