Prior to that appointment he held the. office of Comptroller of the London County: Council for 26 years, during which time he was actively: engaged in the investigation of various aspects of the finances of ‘the public utility un-. dertakings of London, including those relating to electricity supply and financial problems connected with the supply of in the London area.
