The eflicient M manner in which, he performed his duties lcd from one promotion to another and at , the present time he is the V ice-President of the above mentioned company. Nl It was through the varied experience gained in his rise to his present position J that he accumulated the vast engineering knowledge that he now possesses. He has grown as the electrical industry has grown, keeping pace with it and not letting it ix, grow faster than he. The fact that the Kansas City Power and Light Co., is so up- 'ii to-date in its electrical equipment is evidence of this. ,, 'N Mr. Bettis has for years been an active member of the N. E. L.
