Testimony on La Crosse electric past and distrust
Dr Anderson testifies about La Crosse lighting history from Brush and Edison firms to a 1903 lease with La Crosse Gas and Electric. He notes distrust over rates and service, claims of improving modern equipment, and personal meter observations as pressures of public opinion shape utility outcomes. He cites voltage tests in 1907 and a high school project, plus better service in recent months amid continued scrutiny.
