MILO FREDERIC MCALPIN, the youngest son of Robert McAlpin, has been intimately associated with the electrical development of New York City for sixteen years. Born October 20, 1873, at Lee, Massachusetts, he studied at public schools in Massachusetts and Wisconsin, graduating at Harvard University in 1897. From 1898 to 1901, he was associated with the National Bank of Commerce in New York, of which Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was then Vice-President. Here he gained much valuable experience of men and Wall Street affairs, and, of course, a broad outlook on life. In 1901 he became associated with the New York Edison Company, and has devoted the major part of his life to the science and art of the generation and distribution of electric current. Mr. McAlpin has witnessed from within and has been a part of the well known miraculous growth of the electric industry which was started by Mr. Edison in New York City in 1880, an investment to-day in the United States of twelve billion dollars.

He has also had a part in causing the change of public feeling toward public service corporations from one of hostility to one of fairness and friendliness, and of the even greater change in the spirit of the public service corporations toward the public, that is a change from a "Public be damned" policy to a "Public be pleased" policy, now universally practiced by all corporations, which successfully serve the public.
