Patterson Cites Reasons
 For Opposing Municipal
 Control Public Utilities

position. think, that the determina- tion of rates and service regulations of any utility must be on the basis of what is fair, just and reasonable, and what will provide a reasonable net return to the owner of the utility after allowing all proper charges against the same I cannot conceive that any fair minded person would take any other view of this proposf- tion. Unless such a policy Is held out and maintained by a municipality, it cannot hope to attract or hold in vestment in any of it's utilities which are necessary to furnish the things which are absolutely essential to the well being, comfort and happiness of the people.
 Expert Valuations
 Tt is always necessary in any gem eral rate investigation of 8 utility to determine first, reasonable val uation of it's property for rate mak- ing purposes; second. a careful analysis of it's books and records by an accountant to determine that such records have been properly kept, and that expenditures have been made for proper purposes and that no fraud has been committed upon the public through the accounting system of the utility in any way.
 "In order to determine the reason able value of the physical properties of any utility for rate making pur- poses, there must be an inventory and appraisal by a skilled valuation engineer. Where the states regulate the utility, its rates and service regu- lations, the state utility commission is usually provided, as in tho case of our state, with funds sufficient to keep in It's service at all times. a competent and skilled engineer for this purpose. I am sure that you will agree that if he is skilled in this work to begin with, he will neces- sarily become very highly skilled and specialized, because of the large amount of such work necessary to be done by him, as an engineer for the entire state. This commission has such an engineer and I am very glad to say that I have had an opportu- nifty since being with this commission to compare his work with that of

Declares Removal Of Hydro electric Plants From State Jurisdiction Would Place Them Under Federal Power Commission

A. G. Patterson, president of the Alabama Public Service commission, in a letter to Chas. E. Jones, secre- tary of the Birmingham Traffic bureau bearing on the proposal in some quarters to do away with state control of the utilities and have the municipalities they serve do the regulating. presents reasons opposed to such change.
 MT. Patterson holds particularly that in the case of purveyor ot hyroelectricity generated on naviga- bie rivers their removal from jur- isdiction of the state public service commission would automatically place them under Jurisdiction of the Fed oral Power commission. In other words. if regulation of the hydro electric utilities is taken from the state public service commission, their regulation will be still further re- moved from what is termed home rule
 MT. Patterson also calls attention to the expert engineers in employ of the state commission, who are capable of ascertaining real values of utilities and verifying their reports of earnings and the like so as to arrive at a sensible basis for rates. Cities do not have these experts.
 Eorty-four states of the forty-eight have public service commissions, MT. Patterson points out, this fact in- dtcating the popular trend toward atate regulation with growth of ex- perience in the matter. MT. Patter- son in his letter to MT. Homes says:
 In A States
 -Aocord4ng to the information in our office, forty-four states of this Union now have public utility com missions or boards, with statewide authority over rates and service.
