ficisncies Of the public utilities act
under six heads.
1.-THE acts OF all other states which
have examined provide for a commits
sion composed OF from three 10 sevon
members. who receive substantial sal
aries and have no other duties than
those Imposed in the public utilities
"The Tennessee act provides that the
railroad commission shall constitute
the public utilities commission OF the
state, The railroad commission OF
Tennessee Is composed of three meme
bers, who are underpaid.
Their administration of the act reg
ulating railroads has not to my knowi-
edge become famous for its efficiency
or its result | say this without crlti-
cising the individuals composing the
commission. However, the recent leg
islature has made OF the railroad com
mission state tax commission, and
now makes of II a public utilities COM
mission. SO we find that the public
utilities commission OF Tennessee has
three immense jobs on its hands, any
one Of which, properly administered,
would take all of its time and fully tax
all Of its administrative ability,
1T is, therefore, foregone conclu-
sion that IL is impossible for this COM
mission to administer the duties inn
posed upon II effectively. Therefore, we
cannot hope for much regulation OF
public utilities in Tennessee under this
act"

City Attorney Frank Garden was in

city of Chattanooga to investigate the
proposed public utilities bill. He dug
into it. compared 1t with measures
which had passed in other states, and
came to the conclusion, that it was a
thoroughly bad and vicious measure.
He compared II with the New Jersey
bill, and found that just enough of
that meritorious measure had been put
in the Tennessee bill to enable them
to point to some similarity, and claim
that 1t was the New Jersey bill. He
recommended to the commission that
two amendments be inserted in the pro-
posed bill. and these were urged by
the commission,
These amendments were sent to Gov.
Roberts, and he wrote Mr.. Garden that
they would be placed in the proper
hands" However, that was the last
that was ever heard OF them. They
were not introduced, or passed. The
