CO-OP
I Continued trom Page 1)
Board of directors re-named
L. A. Qiese as president; C.
W. Meyer, as vice-president;
C. M. Janda as secretary-
treasurer; and retained Miles
L. Moss as Its attorney.
That the co-op is conducting
a definitely successful enter-
are as follows:
Mr. Giere gave an informa-
tive report concerning the ac-
tivities of the organization dur-
ing the past year. He spoke re-
garding the Electric Coopera-
tive Corporation act, which
was contemplating several
changes, however, all were
vetoed at the state annual
| meeting.
He reported that the co-op
had a total of $249,500 in U. S.
Treasury bonds and that it had
a reserve of $315,000 to take
care of any emergency which
might arise.
In concluding, Mr. Giese
declared that “I personally

made outstanding progress
during the past years of its
existence and I sincerely hope
that it will continue to pro-

receipts for the fiscal year
amounted to $350,485.58 and
expenses totaled $130,350 55.
The meeting got underway
at 1 p. m. with an invocation
by the Rev. Francis Kolar of
Hostyn Hill. President L. A.
Giese and Manager John
Luecke both presented annual
reports, highlights of which
members continue to give their
whole-hearted cooperation as
they have in the past. The fi-
nancial condition of your Co-
op is sound. In spite of the fact
that everything else has in-
creased in cost, your co-opera-
tive was able to maintain ade-
quate, dependable, low cost,
electric service, without hav-
ing to increase your rates. I
enjoyed the opportunity of
again serving you as a mem-
