BLOW STRUCK All
UTILITY MILKING
Public Service Commission
Order HaItS Draining of
Water Firm.

Public service commissioners to-
day had struck another blow at
utility holding company milking
operations, when, in the case of the
Loogootee Water Company, they or
dered halt to the business of at
tempting to operate one-man wa
ter plant with a nationwide or
ganization."
Evidence in the case disclosed
that the little Loogootee water sys-
tenn was being drained by payment
of tribute to a half dozen holding
company set-ups all the way from
Kentucky to New York.
Top of the heap is the huge AS
ISOLATED Gas and Electric Com
pany, prominent factor in the So
called power trust" Even this far
of parent company took SIS a year
from the small concern.
The Milking Process"
Here is how the water company
was MIXED:
The Kentucky-Tennessee Light
and Power Company kept an open
account with the Loogootee COM
pany and charged to operating ex-
pense of the little company s per
cent a year on all balances.
The Utilities Purchasing and
Supply Corporation. New York
City, charged IL per cent Of the
cost of material as purchasing
fee.
The Utility Management Corpo-
ration of New York took 2la per
cent of the gross revenues as an
annual fee for managing the bust
ness.
General Office Salaries
w. S. Barstow 6S Co., Reading,
Pa, charged a III per cent profit
on the gross cost of all construction
work of the company.
Then there were general office
salaries" and such other New York
items as general expense" to be
paid for belonging to the big or
ganiZation.
Loogootee's city administration
had appealed to the commission
for a rate reduction and Commits
sioner Frank Singleton wrote the
order passed today.
While the rate reductions were
slight, due to a $4,000 property
valuation, the principles set out In
the Singleton order will aid in lift
ing the holding company yoke, If
carried out In other cases, 1t was
pointed out.
Change Bookkeeping
For the order requires that the
Loogootee Water Company keep
its own books. CThey formerly we're
kept at Bowling Green, KY, with the
pro rating of COSTS and do its own
business without payment Of the
super reorganization fees. No such
charges will be considered a legiti-
mate operation expense, the order
states.
In addition it was required that
the cost of common stock, pur-
chased three years previously, be
introduced as an item in deteynlin-
ing the fair value" upon which
rates are based.
Minimum water cost was reduced
from $50 TO Sl.25 a month and
hydrant rental for the city was cut
from ss5 to SIS. Another investiga-
ton, with the idea Of further de-
creases, will be held in one year
on the commissions own motion.
