GA series of talks to the Good Citizen by the Public UtiIity)
 The Financing
 of Public Utilities
CHAPTER X

THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY | under regulation must secure the money necessary for it's additions to plant, dis tribution system, meters, transformers and all similar property from the sale of its securities, namely its stocks and bonds. The Gas and Electric Utilities in Phoenix invested over eight hundred thousand dol lars in new property during the past two years The construction budget for the next two years totals approxlmately one million and half dollars. The extent to which these added facilities can be fur nished to Phoenix depends upon the sala- bility of the securities.
 THE process of selling securities IS slml- l lar to that of the City of Phoenix, which. when it desires to install water mains or purchase equipment, issues and sells its bonds to raise the money. A bond house or investment broker purchases the bonds in large blocks and sells them one or two, at a time to individuals. The country depends upon these small investors for most of it's capital. There are today many big railroads, industries, cities, counties, states and governments endeavoring to sell stocks or bonds to raise money for reconstruction or expansion of business. There are bill
 
 money is greater than can be furnished. Therefore, he who would sell his securities in competition with other securities must offer attractive features to the investor. U. s. Government bonds, with all the se- curity of the United States back of them, can be purchased at price which will yield the investor about 69o. Bonds of the Government of France will yield about 8ao. These are attractive because of the big security back of them. In competition with these big issues of securities, the Public Utilities must go forth and sell their bonds and stock. They must offer an interest rate as high as other industries of similar character pay so as to attract the investor. When regulating commissions do not per init the public utilities to charge rates for gas and electricity which will permit the companies to pay interest rates that will attract capital, the companies cannot build additions to plant and cannot adequately serve the public. Such regulation is Penny Wise and Pound Foolish" The Good Citi- zen p boosts for square deal for all industry I1nless there is a square deal for it's indus tries. no community can prosper.

SUMTER. SCHOOL
DISTRICT ,TISSPLL1
Parts Go To Thompson And
ThaIean, While Smithville
Disappoints Remainder

The Sumter City rural school has
been abandoned, at least for this
year, as result Of movement to
divide the district which has been
agitated for time and part of which
movement was accomplished at this
weeks meeting of the county board
of education. At this meeting about
5000 acres of land lying in the old
Sumter district, amounting to about
one-fourth of the whole, was order
ed Incorporated in the Thompson or
Lysian district. This tract embraces
the farms of Mrs. Katherine Nc
Donald, John B. Mcdonald, C. M.
Hale, John Wise, Mack Bivins and
others, and part of the farm of Jep-
tha Tingle. The remainder of the
Tingle farm consisting of three land
lots, was placed in the Thalean dis
trict. -
For some time it has been con-
tempIated by patrons of the remain
ing part of the Sumter district that
it would be consolidated with the
Smithville district in Lee county, and
permission to so consolidate was Civ
en- by the Sumter county board some
time ago The Lee county board,
however, has never accepted The con
sohdation of the Sumter territory,
as such consolidation would entail
expense of transporting the pupils
to and from school This cost in
Sumter county is about SO per pupil
per month, for which the state all
lowed $3.50 per pupil.
Despite failure to consolidate, it
is understood to be the intention Of
The patrons in the remaining section
Of the Sumter district to use the
Smithville school, which is being en-
larged and improved, paying the
necessary tuition and themselves
handling the transportation problem.

ter district appeared before
