, to use the language of the Report of the
Comi
mttee of the House of Commons, "first compete to
Vie point of ruin, then combine." But inasmuch as from
he same number of rate-payers the return upon a larger
capital must be drawn, the rates will of necessity be
raised to a higher level than that from which they had
fallen during the competition. Against such a combina-
tion it is quite clear that the Legislature cannot protect
the public, nor will, we add, it deserve protection, if,
with the short-sighted and unfair view of obtaining a
great convenience at prices which will not now remune-
rate those by whom that convenience is supplied, it en-
courages a needless and wasteful expenditure of capital.
That the practical monopoly enjoyed by the Water Com-
panies is liable to abuse we are ready to admit—that
there may have been instances in which it may have
been so abused we are not prepared to deny—that the
Legislature would be perfectly justified in providing
some protection against any possible. abuse (such, for
instance, as the Board of Supervision for the Control of
Railway Companies, but with more stringent powers),
we are perfectly willing to concede ; but we are quite
sure that, of all remedies for any evil or imperfection
that may exist for the supply of water to the metro-
polis, the very worst would be the establishment of new
companies.— Times.
