REGULATION BY STATE
OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Views Expressed by Speaker
at Meeting of New Eng
land Association.

State Regulation of Public Utilities
was the chief subject of discussion be-
fore the convention OF the New England
Water Works Association at it's closing
business meeting last night in Congress
Hall. Morris Knowles. director of the de-
partment Of sanitary engineering, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh. Pa, read paper deal
ing with this subject. Prof. Knowles ar
gued for state control of the pubic serv-
ice corporations through a state commits
sion. He defined pubic utilities as COM
mon carriers. telegraph, telephone, gas
electric plants, power plants and water
works.
Exist for Public Benefit.
Public utilities, he said. existed prima-
rily for the benefit of the public, and no
private ownership or con'"ol should in
any way be permitted to subvert the
best interests of the public. He said
that stock jobbing and overcapitaliZa
ton should be carefully guarded against,
since they overburdened the earning
power of the pubic service corporations
with payments of interest and fixed
charges. This money could be used 9TH
erwise in lettering the service and in
cheapening it's cost to the public.
Discusses Local Conditions.
Following his address, Prof Knowles
was asked to express an opinion of the
plan proposed by certain financiers in
Washington for a merger Of all the pub
lie service corporations in the District of
Columbia. He said that he had not made
a study of the situation in Washington,
but that public service commission act
should be made a law here before any
thing else was done.
Today and tomorrow the delegates will
spend seeing the sights in and about the
National Capital.
