RUbLIC UTILITIES
 RESENT CRITICISM
Pha by 0hicsr Of Conn. Light
 and Power Co.

Give the public utilities industry | chance" was the plea made by c. L. Campbell, secretary and treas urer of the Connecticut Light and Power Co.,, at a meeting of the Ro- tary club of this city today. His talk concerned the Servant and the Public" the public utilities industry. and the proposed governmental in- vestigation of it. Don't let your selves be carried off your feet by the bowling of the wolves" stated the speaker. He pleaded that the causes of the errors made in the industry, 'of which there are doubt lese some." be removed and that the business itself be allowed to con- tinue.
 Mir. Campbell stated that there is . great misunderstanding between the public utilities industry and the layman. The latter consider the public utilities their servant. and rightfully. and they feel that they can criticize as they see f1t MT. Campbell stated that the criticism arises, many times. from failure to understand what the industry. as whole, l. attempting to carry out srhsy don't investigate" he said sThey just criticize" He informed k6s Rotarians that i've are trying ke do the job as we see tt. the best Way we can." ..-
 spsalkins of the proposed federal Investigation. he stated that errors kill doubtless bs found. He urged Ais listeners to realize that the men h the public utilities industry are enH human and they have human htlinxs and the human tendency to snate mistakes Ut times. But be- nause of the fact that there have keen errors is no reason for throt- tting tho industry. he declared. "l know of no industry that is ss free from mistakes as. or any more hon 1gtly conducted than. the public atilitiss." he said.
 He pointed to the example of the Dailroads when they reached a pros porous condition and of the manner h which they were footballs for poli- tictana with tho result that condi- ton almost approaching government ownership became necessary. Those Who had tho misfortune to ride on the trains during that time know what tho service was.' stated the speaker. Tho electrical industry he aid, is enjoying q period of prosper fly and is reaping the fruits of its oarlier labor.
 Referring again to possible mis- takes he said. the thing to do Is to get rid of "the crabapple tree in the orchard: don't cut down the entire orchard" Because errors have been made, don't condemn the industry. was the substance of his statement.
 The meeting was largely attended, the captains of the teams In the st- tendance drive reporting an increas- ed percentage. ... ..
