tory, that he be allowed to pur­
chase power direct from the

transformers, which the city re­
quired Mr. Coggins to purchase,
will be purchased by the Copco
people providing they can sell
directly to the plant.
Special

grant the request, as Copco la
not permitted to sell directly
within the city limits.
