SAVED TWO MILLIONS e
THROUGH UTILITIES BOARD

Denver, Jan. S.-Two million dollars
has been saved residents of Colorado
during the last two years by the State
Public Utilities commission, according
to the biennial report of the commits
sion, submitted to Governor George \.
Carlson late today. The report. covers
the period from the date of the COM
mission Is creation, August -, 1914, to
November 80 last. Cases filed with
the commission, rulings, complaints,
hearings and work performed are re-
viewed at length
| Included in the recommendations is a
proposed amendment to the act provid-
ing additional authority for the COM
mission. 1t asks that the commission
poration from unjust demands and re-
quirements of the public, just as it has
been given the power to protect the
public from unjust rates and discrim-
inatory service on the part of the cor
poration.'
The commission was created to ad-
just matters at issue between the public
service corporations and the consuming
and patronizing public, it is pointed
out. Such matters are adjustment Of
differences between consumers aud util-
ity concerns and between corporations
and municipalities, fixing of rates and
prescription of quality of service made
up the great majority of cases decided
by the commission. In addition, the
commission took over the duties per-
formed by the old railroad comission in
matters relating to railroad rates, SER
vice, safety appliances, etc.
During the last two years, the report
states, the commission, by reason of its
investigations, hearings, decisions aud
rulings, has built up a distinct utility
Jurisprudence. The state supreme court
has ruled that the commission has right
of original and exclusive jurisprudence
in matters relating to rates and service
1.-THE commission believes it has es-
tablished the value of utility regulation
by state authority says the report,
''and that it has proved that careful
and impartial administration of the
utilities act is beneficial not only to
the public but to the utility corpora
tion, without harm to the latter and
with the certain result of stabilizing
public utility conditions in the state. -
The commission urges that it be
granted authority to issue certificates
of necessity and convenience which
would provide supervision of extensions
and improvements by public utility cor
porations and prevent unfair competi-
| tion by other concerns.
Another recommendation urges an
amendment which would place under
the commission full control of stock and
bond issues, to protect investors and
prevent watering of stock.
During the two year period, 104 CON-
plants were brought, the report sets
forth. Orders were issued in fifty-four
cases and most of the other cases never
have been heard. Three hundred and
twenty seven cases were handled, only
eight of which are pending; the COM
mission issued. 742 authorizations to cor
porations permitting rate changes and
passed on 1877 informal applications for
reparation to individuals who had been
charged excessive rates.

 Petition to Increase Rate
 for Steam Heat is Heard

Montgomery, September 5-(SpeciaD Petition of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company for permis sion to make an increase of approx imately 171a per cent in it's steam heating rates in Birmingham was talk en under advisement by the public service commission Wednesday after noon. The request was made on the contention that the cost of coal and labor used in generating the steam has increased greatly and that the in. crease in rates is necessary to pay ex- penses.
 ney of Birmingham, opposed the in crease on the ground that the company Is charging to the account of the steam heating plant expenses which should go against the electric account and that even if expenses have increased the proposed increase in rates is ex- cessive.
 Lee Bradley. attorney for the com pany, announced that the company 5 books are open for inspection and that they any time will show that the cost of operating the plant has increased He also declared that the expense of labor, incident to the operation of the steam heating plant, is apportioned against this plant and the electric plant, despite the fact that electricity is now being obtained from the Ala bama Power company. He said two thirds of the cost Is assessed against the steam heating plant and one third against the electric account.

Steel Industry MoUes on Momentum of Past
 Buying Activities
Absorption of Energy is Appreciative As is At tested by Declines in Prices of Leading Com modities Pig Iron Production Shows Falling Off-August Ore Shipments
 Also Short

Cleveland, O., September 5.-(special.) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Like a great engine with the power shut off, the complicated mechanism of the iron and steel trade is moving along almost entirely by virtue of the momen- tum acquired in the tremendous buying movement of the past few months. That the absorbtion of energy, however, is appreciative, is attested by definite de- clines in prices of leading commodities. Bars have been sold for first half of 1918 shipment at 35Oc Pittsburg. This price has been made in numbers of transac- tions in various sections of the country. Several producers have participated in the business. Pig iron averages based on actual sales during August show Besse- mer iron at 53.221 and basic at 49. 422 val ley, a decline of 3.279 and 3.426 respec-

The fuel administration will examine all statements presented in writing These statements should be verified and cover at least the years 1915, 1916 and 1917 to date. If fur ther explanation is needed the fuel administration will ask compliments to appear in person.
 Tt is not proposed to require eff ficiently operated mines to produce coal at loss. but the burden rests upon applicants to show that the prices fixed in particular cases are un
 POSTPONE MEETINGS
 Tt will greatly expedite the work of the fuel administrator if associa . tions, whether of operators, miners or industries affected, would postpone the holding of meetings for the appoint ment of committees to confer with the fuel administrator or for the purpose of taking action concerning prices and wages until he has had opportunity to select his advisers and hear from those who believe themselves likely to be adversely affected. Prompt attention will be given to all communications.
 Plans are under consideration and will soon be announced whereby pro duction may continue without affecting adversely either the producer or the purchaser pending the examination of applications for revision of prices. Un til this plan is announced it is sug- gested that sales and deliveries be made at the prices fixed with a stipu lation to the effect that if prices arc readjusted settlements shall be made accordingly.
 For the purpose of determining a proper basis for sales by retail deal CTS, local committees will be organ ized throughout the country Each committee will investigate and report upon the local situation and advise concerning the regulations to be es- tablished. When the price is fixed, the local committee will be asked to SUI perintend it's enforcement.
