Some idea Of the enormous business
done by the Hazard chain of stores
may be deduced from the following:
Mr.. Hazard stated to the reporter
on Monday that the % stores in New
York did a retail business OF $2z'4lI.
This is az average of $1,000 for eacn
of the stores and means sale OF ap-
proximately 1000 pairs of shoes. Al
though spring trade has just opened
no special inducements other than the
goods themselves were offered to the
nublic. That's some business.

That q public service commission is
a rapidly growing necessity whether
utilities are privately or publicly own
ed is one of the chief points brought
out in part one of the ninth annual re-
port Of the railroad commission OF
Wisconsin just issued.
This part contains a synopsis of the
work Of the general, statistical and en-
cheering departments for the year
ending June 80, 1915. The other parts
have not been completed. The work
the commission has been doing for util-
tiles both municipal and private is IL
Illustrated by the report from the ac-
counting division Of the statistical de-
partment. This shows that during the
year accounting inspections were made
for 16 municipality-owned and IS pri-
vately-OWned utilities; that accounting
systems were prescribed for 10 NUM-
cipally-oWned and % privately-OWned
plants; that accounting systems were
installed for telephone companies;
10 municipally-owne electric or water
departments, and three privately-OWn-
ed electric or water companies. Adults
were made for private utilities and
accounting systems for s municipality
owned utilities were installed by the
tax commission under the supervision
of the railroad commission.
The commissions calendar for the
year showed q total of $40 cases set
for hearing of which 262 were railroad
cases and 1872 utility cases. The re-
mainder Of the cases arose under the
Stock and Bond, Blue Sky, Water Pow
er, Non-duplication and Convenience
