SERVICE DEMANDED

Copy Of the report of joint legislative committee of
California that Investigated complaints of poor service

IDAHO public utilities commission and has beer closely read
by its members.

when taking up some of the activities mentioned
by it."
1t appeared that poor service, lack of service
bitterly complained Of increased cost of service
So that concede that good service is essential
must ccncede that the utilities should receive sufficient
revenue to furnish that service. No found to
contend that utility not entitled to fair return
The report points out condition similar to that exist
ing in daho It says that many people entertain the
mistaken belief that the commission fixes rates that
guarantee certain returns the money invested regard
less OF any extravaganza mismanagement. Such is
not the in California in Idaho and the Cafor-
MIA committee goes on to say:
In fixing rates the commission proceeds to find the
fair value of the property of the utility used useful in
the service.of the public.
1T then puts its accountants to work anayzing and
checking the operating expenses It then fixes fair
return On the value Of the property and fixes the rate
cordng Out OF that fair return must interest

and loses before dividends can be paid
the fair return happens to pay interest the out
standing bonds and stocks of the utility the company is
not fair return will pay dividend to the stockholders
interest upon outstanding bonds is taken into
sideration by the commission.
Consequently the only too belief that the more
company spends the it earns should be complete
~ and finally discarded And the further belief that the
commission allows dividends watered stock is also
without i,'st.ffieatrUsi.
The report points out that capital must be encouraged

is assured Of fair return and decent treatment The
public utilities law it points out stands buffer be-
tween the public and the utility in the matter Of treat
men to the public to price and SERVICE $50 that the
people on one hand will receive good service at fair
price and the utility will receive such treatment at the
hands of the people that will encourage capital to

CANYON ENGINEERS RESIGN;
KESTLY TAKES CAMP 344

Arrivals in town from the cam
yon district bring the report that a
general reorganization of engineer
ing forces is in progress, made
necessary by the resignation first, of
Resident Engineer George Abbott,
at Camp 1927, and his assistant,
Frank Nash, and later by the resig-
nation of Resident Engineer Roy
Hershberger, at Camp 344. En-
gineer Hershberger has not yet
left the service of the Commission
but it is said that it is his intention
to do so as soon as a man is sent
to relieve him. "......
The report is that all the trouble
resulted from the loss of several
tons of explosive on the Abbott
residency, which was set off by
rock from nearby blast. This ex-
plosive-three tons of INT, dyna-
mite and black powder-belonged
to Radovich & Co., stationmen, and
had been cached near their camp
at Camp 327. The rock which
caused the explosion is said to have
come from blast set off by the
road gang, working close by. 1t is
also said that the explosion injured
two men and completely wrecked
the camp of Radovich & Co. ~,
Engineer Abbott, on whose resi-
dency the exlosion occurred, is said
to have attempted to protect the
contractors by insisting that the
Alaskan Engineerin Commission
stand the loss, whereas Engineer in
Charge Brown held that the con-
tractors should stand the loss for
the reason that the explosive had
not been properly covered. The
argument, The News is informed,
resulted in Abbott quitting, follow !
ed by his assistant.
After Abbott has resigned, orders
are said to have been sent to En- !
gineer Hershberger to take charge i
of the Abbott residency, turning |
his own residency over to Resident
Engineer j. J. Kestly, who has |
been stationed during the past year
or more at Camp 356, where the |
work is now near completion, while
the Hershberger residency will be
one of the last to be finished.
Engineer Hershberger is report
ed to have objected to the transfer
and to have announced it as his in
tention to leave the employ of the
commission as soon as he is re.
lieved. In the meantime. however,
he is in temporary charge at Camp
327.
