Why Are Utilities Popular?
Bond Houses of the City Provide Means for Intelli
gent Selection of These Desirable
Investment Securities
By ELWOOD LLOYD

Within the past fortnight l have
had an unusually large number of
requests for information concerning
the stability of the public utility or
CARNATIONS and the value of their
bonds from The investment standpoint.
To adequately answer these inquiries
it would seem that little general
review will be best; TO consider the
growth and extent of the public utill-
ties throughout the country.
In the United States today there
is more money invested in electric
light and power plants and gas prop
critics than in the steel and iron in
dustry including rolling mills or the
packing industry, or the textile in
dUstry.
Only agriculture, the railroads and
the manufacturing industries grouped,
exceed the combined capitalization of
the electric and gas companies. Lately
they have been gaining rapidly on
the railroads.
During the past five years the gas
and electric utilities of the country
have issued approximately So, 1o0,-
O0O,000-three and three-quarters bill
lions-of new securities, which have
been quickly and readily absorbed by
the investing public.
In the same period the capital
flotations of railroads was approx
mately S2,410,000,OO0.
Perhaps the most significant thing
about the remarkable growth of pub
lie utility investments has been the
videsnread distribution. in recent
years, of the. utility stocks and bonds
among the customers and employees of
the companies. 1t is estimated that
there are, today, no less than a mil
lion holders of stocks of power and
light companies alone, the majority
being small holders.
This wide distribution has not only
been responsible for the great finan-
cial strength of the utilities, but,
even more important, it has brought
about more intelligent and apprecia-
tive public attitude toward the indus
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-28

try. We now have n public senti-
ment toward. the utilities ranging all
the way from sympathetic under
standing to enthusiastic support. This
Is in direct contradistinction TO the
public attitude relating TO corpora
tons held before the days of general
and widespread. ownership of the
securities of the corporations.
AS n matter of actual fact, be-
cause of this wide range of owner
ship by the million or more stock and
bond holders. the public utilities,
while still private corporations, are
in a real sense publicly owned and
perhaps never in their history has
public opinion been more favorable
to them. Much of their present
strength lies in this important fact.
For the average individual in
weston it is difficult to find any
security which combines in a more
satisfactory manner all the elements
of a desirable investment than the
bonds of well located and ably man
aged public utilities. In general,
sound power, light and heat bonds
yield more than railroad bonds Of the
same grade, and compare favorably
with industrial bonds in this respect.
though having some advantages over
the industrial, particularly in the
stability of the earnings.
The safety of public utility bonds
is evident when one considers the
permanent nature of the assets behind
them. the assured and growing mar
ket for utility services, the relative
freedom from competition and from
credit or inventory losses. their sane
regulation and their simple labor
problem.
There are a number of reputable
investment houses in San Antonio
which specializes in public utility
securities. These houses maintain
special departments and trained execu-
tives who are glad to assist the in
weston in the selection of the bonds
best suited to his needs or require
ments.

He stated that the only way in
which sentiment for changes in the

is to call it to the attention of the peo-
pie throughout the state and that the
Montana Automobile association is in
a position to spread information
thru county associations which are
to be formed in connection with the

DRIVERS MUST
OBSERVE LAW ON
PUBLIC HIGHWAY
DRIVING ON WRONG SIDE OF
ROAD MAKES ONE LIABLE TO
PAY DAMAGES

Helena, May 15.-In the Custer
county appeal case of Charles Brun-
inabend against William Tibbles, the
isupreme court upholds the authority
/ of the district court, in the exercise OF
it's discretion in view of the circum-
stances, to tax the cost of both the
first and second trials to the defen-
dant, after the plaintiff, who had pre-
vailed in the first trial, had obtained
a retrial because of dissatisfaction
with the jurys award Of damages
Brunnabend had sued Tibbles for
$500 as the amount of damages to his
automobile resulting for a collision
with car driven by Tibbles on the
wrong side of the road. Tibbles in
turn charged negligence to plaintiff
and asked damages in the sum of
$100.
The case was tried to jury which
found for the plaintiff and awarded
him damages of $100. Plaintiff with
out causing judgment to be entered
upon the verdict, moved the court TO
set aside the verdict and grant a new
trial on the ground of insufficiency Of
evidence to justify the verdict. The
motion was granted and at the second
trial plaintiff secured a verdict for
$3.50, upon which judgment was enter
ed and plaintiff filed his memorandum
of costs covering both trials. A mo-
ton by defendant to strike from the
bill costs incurred during the first
trial was denied, whereupon defend
ant appealed from the judgment
Defendant, on appeal, contended
that plaintiffs motion for new trial
should not have been made until after
entry of Judgment, which the SUI
preme court in its opinion affirming
the Judgment of the second trial holds
to be without merit; and he further
contended that by moving for new
trial without having judgment entered
plaintiff waived his right to costs in
Cured in the first trial
This contention the supreme court
also sets at naught, declaring it to be
a matter Of discretion upon the part
of the trial court, depending upon the
of the case.

row in Helena, according to present
plans in an effort to discover means
whereby some of the present objec-

out, through legislative enactment or
otherwise.
At meeting Of the directors of the
oil mems association held Saturday
night in Great Falls, Sam D. Coma
president of the automobile associa-
ton, and o. S. Warden, a member of
the state highway commission, ap-
peared and stressed the necessary of
the approval of the three-cent gaso-
line tax measure in order to insure
carrying out of Montana's proposed
10-year road building program All of
the oil men present indicated that
they favored the highway construc-
tion plans, but there was some differ
ence of opinion as to the best method
of insuring the success of the program
After spending considerable time
discussing the matter the directors
present decided that they would not
make definite decision at this time
and, at the suggestion of E. B. Cool
idge, president of the oil mems asso-
citation, it was voted to appoint com
mittee to meet with the automobile
associations executive committee o
that some of the problems which con-
front the oil industry in Montana
might be explained. President E. B.
Coolidge, M. H. Henderson of Great
Falls, c. w. Hart of Missoula. and

association also are expected to at

finer to iobber, has already been
taxed, gasoline from outside the state
