PUBLIC UTILITY PROBLEMS


To the Editor: | read with interest
your editorial in last night 5 Journal
relative to public utility companies.
Another difference between a pri-
vate business and a public utility is
that the former may charge any price
it chooses for its commodity or serv-
ice, and is generally not limited in
this respect in any way by the govern
ment. As a result, a private business
charges all the traffic will bear, !"
limited only by the value of the COM
modity or service to the purchaser or
customer In other words, it charges
the highest price that the customer
will pay for the article. This price, in
turn, is governed by the value of the
article to the customer compared with
the price for which he can purchase
substitutes.
Thus, although a private business
may be unable at certain times to
charge and obtain a sufficient price to
enable it to earn a fair return upon
its inves .ment, at other times it is
able to make a very liberal profit, and
thus offset the losses experienced at
other times.
This is not true of the public utility
company as it is held down to low,
but sufficient rate of return by the
government during prosperous times,
and therefore the losses experienced in
dun times cannot be recovered through
a corresponding high rate of return
during prosperous times.
Therefore, it seems to be the con-
sensus of opinion that since the pub
lie utilities are held down to low
rate of return in prosperous times,
that it is necessary to allow them the
same return in dull times. If this is not
done, the investment become mattract
i've, and no one will buy the stock or
bonds because they are not good in
vestments. This makes it impossible
for the utility to Obtain the money re-
quired to provide additional facilities
for supplying its service 10 the public.
In scme cases the income is so made
quate that even operating expenses
cannot be fully met. This results in
the utility being unable to supply
adequate service to its existing Gus
toners.
Therefore, if the government does
not protect the investor from losses
during dull times, the public will suf
fer from lack of adequate service, just
as they would suffer from exorbitant
charges at other times, possibly, if the.
government did not prevent the in
vestor from earning more than limit |
ed return on his Investment at such |
times.

OUR DAILY STORY
IN SPRING.

The sky was full of blue, the air was
full of ozone, and the boulevard was
full of strollers, among them Paunee-
fOite Wiffle and his fiancee octavia.
"0h, Pauneey, just lock at that pref.

pointing out a painfully thin, pgeon-
tOed creature, "And don t you think
l m nice-pointing out all the pretty
girls for youg"
"M' IN" murmmed Wiffle evasively.
And they kept on strolling, breath
ing in the balmy air with deep breaths
and breathing it out again almost i'm
mediately.
"Oh, look therel Isn't she attract.

a pug-nosed girl with right-angled ears.
"Hucksch," eOughed Wiffle uncom.
municatively.
A thousand sparrows joyously began
to sing the same song, without keep
ing together very well.
"Oh, Pauncey-don t you think she's
peri 'ly stunning?" demanded Octavia
nodding towards two hundred pound
female with vacant expression.
Wiffle shrugged retieently.
At that moment an absolutely ravish-
ing creature, with starry eyes and
queenly bearing, floated by.
"Now SHE'S rather good looking,
I'd say" remarked Wiffle.
Octavia's eyes blazed with anger and
she snatched ten cent pencil from

broke it in half.
"When you re out with me, I'll thank
you not to go gawking after every
