WEST VIRGINIA COMMISSION
LOOKS TO ULTIMATE STATE
OWNERSHIP.
JURISDICTION is RETAINED
Invitation for Public Discussion Is
Coupled With the Announcement of
Proposed Provisions of the New

(By Ernest w. Heinz

Regulation tending to-
ward ultimate state ownership must
be assented to by hydro-electric com
panies If they are given permission by
the state public service commission to
erect dams in the rivers of the state
for the purpose of developing natural
water power. From the moment the
permit TO a hydro-electric company is
issued the public service commission
would exercise Jurisdiction over de
tails of the business until the franchise
of the state expired automatically fifty
years late.
Not only will the state commission
according to the proposed plans upon
which it has invited q general discus
sion. have supervision over the ca
pacity of the proposed plants, the DIS
position of the electrical power gen
Grated in the rivers, and the rates at
which millions of horsepower will be
sold, but it reserves the right TO say
what shall be just and reasonable com.
pensation for every officer, director.
manager and superintendent of the
hydro-electric companies, and would
prescribe the system of accounting
which the power companies would be
required to install.
Finally, and in addition to the one
per cent of the gross income derived
from the sale of electrical energy
water-power companies, the public
service commission, by regulation
would exact from the private develop
ing companies 80 per cent Of the net
earnings made by the companies in
excess of s per cent in net earnings
made by the companies on the cost OF
construction and equipment, in the net
net earnings above II per cent, 70 PEI
cent would be reserved for the state
Golfers.
