The first real test on the status Of
the public utilities commission OF this
state before the present legislature
whether it will continue in force and
effect or cease to eXist-came before
the senate when the Cummings bill to
repeal the law, and the Thomas bill to
give the commission supervision over
the issuance of stocks and bonds as
well as securities of public utilities,
were heard as special orders at 3
o'clock.
It was said about the legislature
there is very little likelihood the Cum
mings bill will survive and that In all
probability the commission, instead OF
being repealed, will be strengthened by
the passage of legislation favorable to
it. The commission champions the be-
lief that they have control of the field
and do not propose to relinquish 1t TO
those whom they say would strike
down the commission.

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED.

There has been a great deal of
speculation prior to and since the leg
islature convened as to Just what its
attitude would be towards the public
utilities commission. After the session
opcned many of those who were for
repeal of the commission law are said
to have decided that their complaints
against the commission would be met
by amending the present public utili-
tics act. With that idea in view
number of amendatory bills have been
introduced. These seek to take from
the jurisdiction of the commission
supervision over municipal public utili-
ties and non profit or mutual public
service corporations operating tele-
phone lines, etc.
