UTILITY FINANCING
TOTALS HUGE SUM
Record Number of Mergers
Seen in 1926-voting
Rights Held Vital.
BY j. G. ROYI.E.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 81 - New
financing by public utilities corpora
tons in 1925 is expected to approx.
with $496, 900. 900 in 1925. New York
state alone authorized the issuance of
1887 ,77S.775 in public utility securities
last year, and this sum proba bly, will
be exceeded by a wide margin this
year.
The demand for gas and electric
service is growing constantly. New
customers in New York State are be-
ing added at the rate of about one
thousand a day. The consumption of
electric current throughout the coun-
try, which totaled 59.517 900 900 kilo-
watt hours in 1925. Is expected to in
crease to over $1,000, 900. 900 kilowatt
hours this year. Consumption of man.
ufactured gas in 1925 was 4377 III ,00O,-
200 cubic feet, and probably will ex-
pand 10 per cent by the end of Decem.
Der next.
Thls tremendous demand is pushing
the gas and electric business toward
consolidation into unified systems.
Merger Views Differ.
In view Of this fact and the huge
volume of securities which will be
offered the public in the next 10
months, there is a wide discussion of
the advantage and disadvantages of
mergers and of holding companies.
1t Is notable. however, that opposi.
ton to these indications is directed
not so much at their use, as at their
abuse.
Consumers expect and have a right
TO expect service from a public serv-
ice corporation. Assurance that this
service will be rendered them in spite
or outside conditions or untoward
circumstances has seemed essential to
continued expansion of customers
This has been factor in the merging
OF utility companies. These have en-
ab]ed plants to supplement each other
in the rendering of service to Gus
toners.
There has been widespread gain in
operating efficiency as a result Of
some of these mergers, with a CORE
spending widening of net earnings.
There has been d sharp demand for
lower rates on the part of consumers
and some reductions have been made
The effect of the mergers so far, how
ever, has been toward Sterilization
and unification of rates rather than
toward sharp decreases.
In discussing these mergers and
the offering of utility stocks and

EVERYMAN'S
1--WE 'TMENTS
Secured and Unsecured Bonds.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Secured ana tnsccuFeu boioS.
Having made the distinction be-
tween bonds and stocks, the two prln-
cipal forms in which investment Sc
curities come. it is now in order to say
something about the various kinds of
bonds. tia ssiiication is possible along
! great variety OF lines. Perhaps the
simplest is that which divides bonds
into secured and unsecured
bond may be defined as a formal
acknowledgment of Indebtedness &C
COMMANDED by a promise to discharge
the debt on agreed-upon terms. A
bond is secured when remedy Is
provided for the lender in the event of
the borrower not keeping the agree
ment The difference can be made
plain by a comparison with trans
action between two private individ-
uals. If "A" loans "B" $1,000 and
takes "B's" note for the amount a.
has an unsecured bond. IF. however,
~" takes a mortgage on BIS house
or farm as pledge for the loan a.
has "A secured bond. In the latter case
if the borrower does not pay the prin-
cipal when due. and the interest mean
time. the lender "a y foreclose the mort
gage, sell the prop. ''y and reimburse
himself. IF. on the other hand. he has
ONLY a note to protect him the best he
can do is to bring suit in court. and if
The borrower is able to pay judg
ment the lender gets his money back
otherwise not.
Now it is at once evident that a Sc
cured bond is better than an unse-
cured bond of the same borrower. 1t
does not follow that all secured bonds
are better than all unsecured bonds
A. = matter OF fact, the investment ad-
n,ittet'lv the safest in all the world.
United States Government bond. is an
unsecured obligation. IF the United
states should defau lt. the owner of a
t.iber.v bond would have no remedy.
There is r~thing upon which he can
foreclose OF course. it is unthinka BILE
that the United States Government
should fail to keep its pledged word
Whenever there is the slightest doubt
about the matter security becomes i'm
portant.
For instance. the bonds of certain
newly established European countries
are protected by a mortgage on GER
tain revenues of those governments
simply because lenders will not take
the chance of making loan under
any other conditions. The necessity
Of giving security in the case of a
government is sign of credit weak
ness Some corporations are so strong
that they do not have to give security
for their loans. hut they are compara.
lively few. The rule is to give the
preference to the secured loan of a
corporation. but, to move cautiously
when government can sell a bond
only by mortgaging something first.
