INDEX TO AUTHORS
ARMBRUST, G M Distribution Engineering Economics (Doherty Prize

BACHARACH, HON HARRY Address of Welcome
BIRCH, FRANK A Report of Committee on Company Sections
323
The war affected Company Sections perhaps to a greater extent
than it did any other department of N.E.L.A. work. Thirty-seven
Sections disbanded; seventeen temporarily suspended activities; while
but nineteen are still active. Only one new section has been formed
in the last two years.
An amendment to the Constitution to provide for a limited class
of membership in Company Sections and to afford a more dignified
status for Class B members is advocated. A large number of active
Sections is the present need. Dragnet methods of soliciting member-
ship should be abandoned and Association membership should be
allowed to stand on its own merits. Tendency to form local em-
ployees' clubs should be offset by more liberal provisions for mem-
bership in Company Sections.
Sub-committees for the assistance of Company Section officials
have been organized.
An engraved charter which will be sent to both new and old
Sections is in preparation.

MCCLELLAND, RJ Report of Special Joint Committee on Determination
of Power Factor in Polyphase Circuits
MEYERS, W J Report of Committee on Form of Annual Report to Com-
missions The report, presented by the Accounting Section, relates
the failure of an effort to secure the aid of the National Association
of Railway and Utility Commissioners in obtaining a reduction of
the burdensome requirements of annual report forms prescribed by
Public Service Commissions, and gives in detail_the_resolutions
adopted by the Executive Committee of the Accounting Section and
sent to the Commissions, emphasizing the necessity for relief. It
calls attention to the fact that the Commissions are much more re-
sponsive to representations made by the citizens of their respective
States than to those made by representatives of an association com-
posed largely of citizens of other States, and urges that the companies
of each State actively interest themselves in this matter if they desire
relief. 302
