The 15 mem- bers of the well-paid board of direc- tors are all political appointees, which may explain why not a single one of them has any engineering or techno- logical training or experience. The growing population in Israel, and the great increase in industry have resulted in a greater demand for power. The company requires a large —\ amount of capital for expansion, more money than the government has available. Since a small number of shares are already privately owned, consideration is being given to selling more, but not enough to effect gov- ernment control. Success of the sale could be assured only by guarantee- ing high dividends, which in turn means higher rates the public will be called upon to pay.

No one has yet appeared to pick up the chal- lenge. All the maneuvering and dealing goes on in the back rooms. What we of the public know is only that from (--/ time to time the rates are boosted. Bonuses are traditionally paid to the staff each year? So the rates must go up again to show a net operating profit to justify the bonuses. Eliminate the bonus in a non-prof- itable year? Blackout!
