Investment In Public Utilities.
HY JAMES Il. MORGAN.

The dcmarN for capital for both industrial
concerns and public utilities has been and sill
is very heavy. The principal reason for this
is that during The war capital was no. avail
able for the enlargement of utility plants or
even far their proper maintenance. ana mos,
of the utility companies are behind in their
" work necessary to nc done to extend and cuulp
their plants to meet the increased demands On
them By the public for service.
Fully twice as much money or credit Is now
necessary to do the same volume of business
or To make the same extensions or improve
Inents as was necessary before the war.
The situation for the public utilities, even
the best OF them. Is a desperate one and in the
Interest Of both their security holders and the
general public they need all the help the util-
ity commission can give them.
Utilities companies would require q guar
antcca earning power OF at least the current
rate being offered by the Industrial companies
on preferred stocks-that is from z TO I IL
per cen;-!n order to attract new capital.
Where they get such q guarantee we do not
know, unless the public utilities commission
can arrange It for them by fixing their rates
FOR service sufficiently high. 1t is certain that
without some such foundation to work on
none could float an issue Of bonds at any rate
Of interest. not to mention an issue OF stock.
The average American city has now grown
beyond the facilities Afforded by it's Transport
tation utilities. while the telephone companies
are way behind in their orders for telephones IS.
and other companies are short of the facilities
they should afford their patrons and would be
glad to afford, as soon as they saw an oppor-
tunity OF financing the necessary extensions,
