President George Kidd of the B, C.

upon receipt of a telegram from him
that Mr, Murrin issued the following
statement:

“Through the deposit of sufficient
stock by English holders of the British

Columbia company, the control of
this company now rests with a strong |
Canadian group. The gentlemen
composing this group are widely ex-
perienced in the operation and financ-
ing of Canadian public utilities, and it}
is confidently expected that
introduction into the affairs of the
company will prove a powerful factor
in promoting industrial growth and
generally extending this company’s
usefulness to the communities it serves.

“The present executive will be re-
tained to conduct the active operations
of the company and the general policy
of the previous owners will be con-
tinued. The interests of Vancouver
and Victoria and surrounding muni-
cipalities will be safeguarded by five
British Columbians on rhe directorate.
‘These will include Mr. George Kidd,
president; Mr. W. G. Murrin, vice-
president; Mr. A. T. Goward, vice-
president; Sir Frank Barnard and Mr.
W. J. Blake Wilson.

“The new group will be represented
on he board by Sir Herbert Holt, Mr.
