Directors To Meet Tuesday
Hartford June 16 The action of the House passing the Banks bill creates a disagreement with the Senate and makes less likely the passage of a public utilities bill at this session of the Legislature. I am disappointed as I believe the Judson or minority bill is constitutional. Ralph O Wells, attorney for the State Business Men's Association, notes the Legislature can delegate powers and cites interstate commerce commission and public utilities commissions as having mandatory powers. He adds the court could not order a lower rate. only a commission or the Legislature can adjust rates. He emphasizes he speaks for himself and says the directors will meet in this city next Tuesday to take formal action.
