the report of H. Gooding Field, special
auditor for the public utilities COM
mission. The next hearing will be to-
morrow afternoon at 1870. o'clock
Fields contention is that the insur-
ance fund, the repairs fund, and the
construction and repafrs fund, are or
have been built up by the earnings
OF the companys steamers. as voiced
yesterday afternoon at the meeting
of the commission.
He says that through the charging
of these funds to the operating ex-
penses of the steamers, and withdraw
al from them to make up stock divi-
dends for increased capital, the prof
its of the steamers have been consid-
erably lessened
Would Wipe Out Utility
IF this method we're continued"
he said, "'of appropriating funds so
built up for the non-utility side of the
business, ii would result in time in
the complete detriment of the utility
business.
Certainly this procedure would af-

toned directly on the subject.
Action Affects Rates
Upon this question of how much
such action affects rates the hearing
now seems swinging
''If the surplus earnings of the trans
portation business are invested into
something to better the public utility
end of the company and better the
service of the utility to the public
there would be no objection to the
stock dividends because they would
increase the service of the company as
a utility to the public.
Modern accounting and standard
finance authorities frown on stock
dividends as they have a tendency to
increase the watered stock of cor
poration. There is, however, IA OBJ
lection to stock diYi lends by a public
utility corporation il the assets into
which they arc invested are directly
comfortable by the company.
In this case the dividends have
been taken OF. of the public utility
end of the business and invested in
non-public utility enterprises over
which, it has been claimed here by
company officials, the utility has no
control and has no connection
