The inventory item on the company's balance sheet shows an increase pf $16,242,195.10 compared with Dec. 31, 1942, due primarily to higher cost of leaf tobacco. This, together with expansion in sales, required additional money. In September, 1943, directors authorized a five-year revolving credit arrangement- with 14 depository banks. Under the •terms of this agreement.loans will be made available to company by 'these banks, as needed,; over a period of five years, up to an aggregate of $75,000,000.

V, The second major group of utility properties now controlled by. The Middle West Corp. lies in the States of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. Most of these properties are owned by subsidiaries of Central and South West Utilities Co., a subsidiary of The Middle West Corp., and itself a registered public utility holding company. Although The Middle-West Corp. expressed a willingness to divest itself of this group cf properties, it insisted that these utility properties could be retained together within a single system. The staff of the Commission in the presentation of the case recommended that the Commission find that these properties constitute at least five separate svstems. After studying the record it appeared tentatively to the Commission that the major properties formed two integrated systems. One of these con¬ stituted the electric properties of Public Service Co. of Oklahoma, Southwestern Gas & Electric Co., Southwestern Light & Power Co., is Co. Utilities • Arkansas-Missouri 1v' Kentucky Utilities Co. is itself a registered holding company and subject to the provisions.qf Section 11 (b) (1). Since the Commission made no findings on. the application of that section to the Kentucky Utilities system as part, of the Middle West , system,, but reserved decision, it determined to make a similar reservation of decision re¬ specting Kentucky Utilities Co. as a holding company.
