of the committee appointed to ex-
anime into and determine light,
heat and power situation of New
York city. This investigation was
very complete, the Committee
having the power of court to sum-
mon witnesses and demand books
and papers. Its careful scrutiny
of the light and power business
resulted in the discovery that gas
selling at 81 cost but 30 cents to
make, that electricity cost less
than one-fourth it's selling price.
In other words this Committee
discovered that the people OF
Greater New York have been and
are paying profit of more than
one hundred per cent. on the
actual capital invested in gas and
electricity, and that this profit
amounted each year to many mil
lions of dollars over and. above
what a fair return on the invest
ments should be. The disclosures
made ought to accelerate the
passage of these measures through
the Legislature of the State, and
secure their enactment into law.

While it may yet be an open
question as to whether or not
either the National or a State
government may regulate prices
in the interests of consumers, New
York state is undertaking the ex-
pertinent. The Legislature of that
State has under consideration six
bills. the purpose of which are to
establish a State Public Service
commission to control and reg
ulate gas and electric light COM
panies; to fix the prices of gas,
electricity, heat and power: and
to carry these several purposes
into effect. These bills fix the
price Of Gas at Is cents per 1,OOC
cubic feet, the price Of electricity
at 10 cents per kilowatt hour OF
current actually consumed, and
the price of power at about two,
thirds this amount.
