EXPERT HITS
DOMINATION
OF UTILITIES

lie utility field through a series
of interlocking companies.
The committee, which Is inves-
tigating the feasibility OF state
Capitalization of power and water
utilities, was shown a graph, when
purported to prove that the various
private utilities were allied through
mutual stock interests.
"If the railroad commission had
been on the job" Hunter asserted,
this far-flung empire would have
been reported to the state senate
and some effort at control could
have been made
He accused the commission OF
being guilty of inconsistencies in
the handling of these privately
owned utilities
"On Oct. 25, 1885, a certain utility
in Los Angeles filed for a franchise
and without any further ado and
without a formal hearing, the
commission granted that utility its
franchise on the same day Hun
ter declared.
He Furthermore alleged that
many utility corporations were
not even operating under the jur-
isdiction of the commission.
Hunter suggested that the COM
mittee study the IVA setup and
also the public utility structure as
established in Ontario, Canada.
Politics should be kept out of
a state Capitalization plan and
right kind of a setup should be
used" he said
