FAR REACHING REFORM BILL.
Gov. Hughes Signs Measure of Great
Import.


The so-called public utilities bill
was signed Thursday by Gov. Hughes,
of New York. The bill is probably one
Of the most far reaching reform meas
ures ever passed by an American legis-
lature. 1t places under direct state
control every public service corpora
ton, great or small, in the state of
New York, with the exception of the
telephone and telegraph. 1t applies
not only to railroads. street railway
and subway lines, express companies,
gas and electric lighting companies
doing business exclusively in the state,
but to business within the state of all
railroads or other common carriers
which enter the state at any point.
Two commissions created by the act
will have most sweeping powers in
regulating the corporations affected.
The BILL which was urged by the
governor, reached it's final passage in
the face of the most bitter and deter
mined opposition. 1t was fought from
first to. last by representatives Of the
tremendous. strong and wealthy cor
porations, which will feel the weight
Of regulations it imposes.
