Mrs. Eldred apologised to the engineer if he is new on the job. “This is a situation which has existed over years,” adding that she gives the utility credit for good performance in emergency situations.
“You may prove yourself if you are new oh deck. We are a small town in your large pond. Centel is far worse — but what you do is visible. I look forward to w hat you are going to do,” she added, "but please, dear God, don’t light us up like a shopping mall."
