Public Utilities Questions Asked by Business Men
A Connecticut legislative committee asks why trolley lines cost vastly more per mile in Connecticut than Massachusetts. It questions over capitalization, profits, and who bears losses, plus calls for a public utilities commission with power to regulate rates, test meters, inspect, and order safety repairs. It contrasts Massachusetts and Connecticut in charter rights, competition, and number of utility companies. It also probes why gas and electric charges vary by city and why rate bills are repeatedly submitted to the General Assembly.
