PRENDERCAST DISCUSSES THE
QUESTION OF UTlIITlESA AT
BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING

Mr.. Prendergast said. In early times ne4
there was regulation of the pubic
service afrairs. and statutes now exist
ing merely have provided the macnin-
cry for proper regulation, the speaker
said. The utilities and also n puddle
have the protection of these laws, ne
said. !.
The most important phase in con
with public utilities is the CUES
ton Of fair rates, 9 Mr.. Prendergast
said. Rate Investigations are misun-
derstood, he declared, and in many
cases such an investigation is looked
upon as a. fight" This should not
be the case, the speaker said. n
operating companies must charge SUI
ficient to carry on their activities IN
proper manner, and the public has a
right to protect itself against poor
service, If such is being given, and in
any event the Investigation should be
welcomed, he said, to show the true
facts Of the case.
Rates on public utilities, such as
light, gas, heat, street car service. etc,
should be adjusted and regulated in
proportion to the community growth,
local conditions and valuation of the
n~ronerty involved, MI. Prendergast
In supplemnting his ideas on the
topic, Mr.. Prendergast cited cases in
which public utilities have beer IN
volved and he outlined briefly a
| course for lawyers to follow IN ham
ding public utility cases.
In concluding Mr.. Prendergast said:
"All broad-minded, fair dealing ex-
ecutives Of public utilities welcome
! regulation and inspection. On the
| other hand we have the right to ex-
| act from the regulating bodies a fair
rate of return in order to pay salar-
les, give fair returns to stockholders
