tho right of 1 these people to speak upon thia subject because of their belief that the company "was originally formed and should be held for tlio benefit of the public "In my view you were appointed trustees representing tho stockholders that noth ing might be done against their Inter ests as Investors until they should have received the amount by them Invested with 6 per cent Interest but that the main purpose of the trust was to pro tect the consumers against the stock holders and all others and that when the balance of stock amounting to $125 a share Is paid oft your duty Is then to the public "It Is known to you that some of the 4J members of tho present board of dl rectors have made an effort to secure a controlling interest In the stock upon the principle that when natural gas was exhausted tho company had ended Its 1 duty to the public and that the property 1 then belonged to the stockholders "If the stock had been br lit by the Eureka Investment Company at less par the buyers might be thought to have made the purchase looking to the mar gin as sufficient profit or if bought at par that they might be satisfied with the 8 per cent Interest but it is a fact known to you that there has been an eager effort to buy this stock as high as fifteen times its actual value and bought a under cover It is asking the public to believe rather too much of human na "I ture to accept the theory that this great 'S sacrifice was being made by Individuals 1 under cover for tho public benefit I "These men are now In control of your company It Is perfectly evident that they have everything to gain by having the company go out of business as soon es possible and the assets turned over to the stockholders change will be simply an expression of the trustees of their view that the company should bo In the hands of men I who have no Interest directly or In directly in anv investment which would be made profitable by the company going out of business and that as tnere Is a difference of
