[X001M3155], Letter from Wilson Stout Howell to John Hall McClement, April 3rd, 1888
Editor's Notes
"I have taken temporary charge of this station (Sunbury) for its purpose of putting it into shape. Shaw [xxx] have bought it the Heims who owned controlling stock. I think this station can be made to pay provided they can get a good man at $60 to $75 per month to run into do all wiring + operate meters. Gas is weak, I believe control of their stock could be gotten for $5,000 and the works either closed up or used to manfu. Heating gas; thereby throwing all the lighting into our hands. We have about #3,000 stock unsold which is placed at par would pay all our debts and fix up station in good shape. Consider this letter confidential and call on me for [xxx] information you may desire and I shall cheerfully furnish it.
