Corporation Bill by Darling
What appears to be the first cor
poration measure of the session was
introduced in the Senate Thursday
morning by Senator Darling by re-
quest 1t relates to competition
among public service corporations
and provides that no competition
shall be permitted among corpora
lions subject to the supervision of
the public service commission unless
after hearing the commission shall
decide that the public good shall re-
quire such competition. This is in
substance a provision that it was at
tempted to have Incorporated in the
public service law four years ago.
The claim made in it's favor is that
such business as is subject to the SUI
pervision of this commission is es-
sentially monopolistic, that the peo-
pie are better served by one corpora
ton under proper supervision, than
by two or more.

es that no child under IS or woman
