G0N CLARK SAID REGULATION OF
 UTILITIES LEGA.


 Since the introduction yesterday by Representative James P. Daly Of Nome Of @ bin to confer on common councils in Alaska towns having 2500 popula- ton the power to regulate rates Of public service corporations and to establish rules and regulations of that service. the question has been raised. Can the Legislature grant this pow CT to municipal councils2"
 It was pointed out that Gov Walter E. Clark vetoed the Boyle bin passed by Che Legislature in 1915. but exam nation or the House Journal shows that the bnl was not vetoed because of It's provisions for regulating rates of public service corporations.
 Gov Clark in vetoing the Boyle bill which was ~an act authorizing munich pal corporations in the Territory Of Alaska to construct, condemn and purchase. acquire, lease, add to. main tain. conduct. and operate waterways, systems Of sewerage. works for light Ing heating. fuel power purposes and other public utilities, held as lollows:
 There Is no present power in
 the Alaska municipal corpora
 aons either to condemn public utii-
 ities privately owned. to grant ex-
 elusive franchises. or 10 fix rates
 for service. There are objections.
 which ] shall discuss. Co granting
 the power first named. Our enab-
 ling act forbids the second, pro-
 vided it be proposed to make the
 franchises exclusive WHILE
 THE THIRD MAY BE GRANT
 ED BY THE LEGISLATuRE. IF
 TT CHOOSES. lou. is not clearly
 granted by the terms Of this bill
 As between the power to condemn
 electric light plans and water
 works privately owned. and the
 power to fix rates. THE LAST
 NAMED IS TEE REMEDY OR.
 DINARILY USED FIRST.
 Mir. Daily author of the public ser ice regulation" bill declares the measure is one that should be passe' ly the Legislature. There are too many towns that are paying exhoroi- ant prices for public service. and Che 1u would remedy that condition he said.
