Jersey Public Service
Is Refused Exemption
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities Commission re-
jected yesterday a request of the
Public Service Corp of New Jersey
that it not be classified as a SUBJ
sidiary of the United Corp. and the
United Gas Improvement Co.. utility
holding companies.
The commission said that. al
though the two United companies
together own only 423 per cent OF
the voting securities of public serv-
ice, the United companies were in
position TO dominate and control
public service.
The commission added that 1.-The
record indicates instances of abuses
of the type which the Public Utility
Holding Company Act was designed
to regulate or abolish, and although
such abuses appear to have been
the direct result of the control and
controlling influence exercised by
U. G. I. and United in the affairs
of public service. it is unnecessary
for the purpose of this application
to make any findings in this re-
spect."
Public service was described as a
holding company itself, controlling
various utility, transportation, and
realty companies which serve ap-
proximately 80 per cent Of the popu-
lation of New Jersey.

tions that fewer styles of home ap-

ton today.
