Grilling of Alderman Rose Stirs Local Debate
The lighting company press coverage claims a harsh grilling of Alderman Rose at the state railway commission hearing on La Crosse Gas & Electric. Rose’s testimony, however, shows no grilling, with attorney Mr Lees pressing questions but revealing only that Rose started the Wisconsin Light & Power project and acted to secure fair light and power for the city, without personal gains. He initiated the venture, then separated from it, and had no role in later competitive eliminations.
