For that matter, Commonwealth & Southern would lose nothing by paying...
...into Consumers Power, which recently dedicated a new 35,000-kilowatt plant at Kalamazoo, is constructing a new 70,000-kilowatt plant in Bay City. This will fatten up the equity in Consumers Power in preparation for issuance of $28,500,000 in bonds ($10,000,000 for new money, $18,500,000 for refunding...
