MANY HEARD ON
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Clarence Deming Advances
Some New Ideas That Are
Favored by Other
Speakers.
R. R. COMMISSION DECRIED
Mr.. Gum Says He Does Not Expect

Suggestions Adopted by
Next Legislature.
R. R. COMMISSION DECRIED

The general trend Of the public utli-
ties hearing held In the superior court
room here yesterday morning seemed
to be against the establishment Of a
permanent commission to oversee the
corporations Of the state which are of
q quasi-public nature such as has been
created In New York. Clarence Dem
Ing, the first speaker, denounced the
railroad commission in no uncertain
terms. He accused the latter Of cv-
cry connivance. He decried the evils
of watering stocks and said the rail-
road commission has not done its duty
in trying to prevent It. His remedy
for the situation was In a larger rail
road commission, made up of unques-
toned men who should not alone look
out for railroad abuses but have the
telephone, gas and electric light com
panies as their especial province as
we'll
ATTORNEY Walter j. Walsh was In

the hands Of the judges of the state
who he said are free from politics If
any officials In the state are. "a. c..
Gravese said he wanted a commission
with judicial bat not administrative
towers and that he thought the stock
holders In corporations will have TO
learn to look out for their own inter-
ests to an ever increasing degree
George NJ Gum of Milford. said he
thought the root OF the whole matter
vas perhaps 10 be found in the legis-
lature where arc to be found hundreds
OF assemhlymen who come from towns
whore a public utility corporation Is
unknown. Hence they are incapable
of judging Of what should he done
with them. He wanted to have the
number Of assemblymen reduced by
I 100. He ended by saying Perhaps
seine may say that the New York COM
mission IS little rancid. But God
knows We have had enough of tho 9th
or extreme. Let 1t be up to tho COM
mission to see that its personal is
good"
Other speakers were Edward c.
Beecher, Charles G. Morris, Edward
GrIswold of Gulford and W. j. Clark
of stony Creak.
Although the time set for the be-
ginning of the hearing was II O'Clock

in the street railway history
In the year 1899 in the private acts
Of the state Of Connecticut, appears am
innocent little bin providing for the
change of name Of the Connecticut Gas

Its FIRST clauses arc negative enough,
providing also merely for change Of

"A little further down appears the
sting in the bill, in clause provid-
Ing for purchase of other companies
and the issue of stocks and bonds
therefore any law Of the state Of con-
necticut to tie contrary notwithstand-

Al the tine Of the passage of this
bill there were nine companies con-
nected with the Lighting and Power
Co, which had a capitalization in
stocks and bonds of $S,1iO,S0O itself

year, under consolidation, with $4,000,

Referring to this statement, with
its vast amount Of watcr, like Nj
agara dcluge, the commission speak Of
1t as indefinite and unsatisfactory
"Why? Not on account of the en0r-

report covers besides the street rail
ways, a few minor gas and electric
light properties, as though these petty

"The committee had fun power TO re.

sembly No matter how wise, like 9TH
er reports, your report will probably
be thrust into the Dust bin.
zone thing you can do Is to tackle
the evil of overcapltalization.
Corporations were driven out OF
| Massachusetts, because they wanted TO
ovcrcapitalize.
"A certain company In this State
/ had S150oGo of stock and $4,000 of debt.
outsiders bought 1t out and re-organ-
lied, Did they need to? No.
what did they do? Issued $4,000
Of bonds s750,OOO of preferred stock,
and $3.50, 900 of common stock. They put
not cent into the issue. They simply
rolled around the printing press and
hired lawyer. Since that time they
took s35O,O0o. which they said they
earned, and paid dividend.
"Everytime you issue capital stock
in that way the fellow at the bottom
pays the bill. The people of this city
are now paying Ave cent fares because
Of such oyercapitalzation II one-half
Of tho water were wrung out of the
stock the passenger could travel Two
fares for five cents, The people are now
considering five cents pretty high.
mo stock should be put out at a less
price than It is fairly worth in the
market, a fair market price, all things
considered. Some responsible board
should pass upon that and the man
ayers Of corporations should not have
the full say
THE whole difficulty Is as TO how
much capital can be worked off on an
unsuspectIng public. not how much
money the can raise for their neces-
stiles.
Mr.. Gum said this Is an age Of COM
blnat lon and that combinations have
come TO stay He believed there should
be some place whore the public can 20
and register kick, believe COM
mission somewhat on lines of the New
York commission should be created
and its up TO the people to 500 that
the commission is properly selected
and If the manner of eecting the legis'

Will be remedied the evils referred to
