NEW YORK. March 23.--The State
control and regulation of public utili-
ties IL accepted as a necessity. and
that II has effectively killed Off senti-
ment for government ownership Is the
position taken by the directors of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company.
In the annual report to the stock
holders the directors to-day empha-
size this fact, and make a plea that
government and State supervision
stop at control and regulation and
not manage, operate nor dictate what
the management or operation. WOULD
be beyond the requirements OF the
greatest efficiency and economy.
IF there Is to be State control and
regulation there should also be state
neutrality-suspicious. to a corpora
ton striving to serve the whole COM
munity. some parts of whose service
must necessarily be improbable, from
aggressive competition which covers
only that part which Is profitable, =
continues the report.
Government control should pro-
tcct the investor as well as the pub
lie. 1t should ensure to the public
good service and fair rates and en-
sure fair returns to the investor.
Through a wise and tudicious State
control all the advantages without
any of the disadvantages of State
ownership can be secured and State
ownership doomed.
Our policy in respect TO the oppo-
sition and independent telephone sys-
TENS has been consistently followed.
Wherever II could be legally done
during the past year. and done with
the acauiescence OF the public. oppo-
sttion companies have been acquired
and merged with the Beli system.
There is no question but the public ts
tired of dual telephone exchanges.
and that so fast as confidence In pro-
lection against the real or imaginary
evils of monopoly increases opposi-
ton against mergers will decrease"
