sbility, highest standing and should have
successful record over long period of
years"
MIR. PRIEST, of Meikleham g. Dinsmore
when general depression in business
occurs the stability of earnings of public
utility properties is brought forcibly to
the minds Of those interested in finance
and the thinking investor.
III Is singular fact that public util-
Ivy properties are able to maintain their
earnings in such periods of business de-
preston. This more particularly applies
to well managed electric light, power and
gas properties.
"lndIstrials, generally speaking, must
necessarily show falling off in earnings
according 10 the extent of the depression
but even railroads, the securities of which
are looked upon by many as the very
essence OF perfection from an investment
point of view, in striking contrast to
electric light and power companies. have
almost Invariably shown extensive re-
auctions in earnings whenever there has
been slowing up in business.
Under scientific management many OF
the electric light and power companies
have In recent years built up a large
power business which has unquestionably
been largely responsible for their wonder
full growth The business is still in its
infancy and there will unquestionably
be a further large expansion, due to the
fact that steam is being rapidly displaced
by electric power. II is believed that the
growth in earnings OF these properties
will be even greater in the next ten years
than il has been In the last decade.
This class of security will undoubtedly
give a very good account of itself in the
future"
II. +. MCCONNELL & CO.-"The sta
bilty and future OF public utility securi-
ties are shown by the recently issued re-
port of tho Southern California Edison
Company. During ten years Of operations
GO3 to 1879 the gross earnings increased
4iJ per cent, operating expenses 426 per
cent. interest charges So per cent, and
surplus al per cent. This shows that
new capital has returned many times
its interest charges in new business. This
same condition applies TO every large util-
ity concern. The firm foundation Is, or
course. good management combined with
growing community. Necessary hnanc-
ing is generally regulated by public ser
vice commissions and offers little encour-
agement for extensive stock jobbing.
Public utility securities have suffered
declines with other Issues during the past
ten months. but I'm all cases have repre-
sented the reeds of the seller. Two years
ago practically all of them were pur-
chased outright, but during this period
many spectators have bought them on
slender margins. with the inevitable re-
suit Price fluctuations, however cannot
change property values. Light. heat and
power are physical necessities and can
better be produced for the benefit OF the
many by cooperation rather than indi-
Vidual ownership"
