Opposition to Utilities Bill Narrowly Focused by Affected Interests
Hartford March 25 The public utilities bill dominated a lengthy Judiciary Committee hearing, with many speakers and a looming April 1 continuation. Arthur C Graves of New Haven argued the measure stems from outside Connecticut and would injure business by creating a powerful executive legislative judicial commission. Others, including L B Storrs and A J Sloper, warned overcapitalization and regulation would hinder rates and extensions, while Leonard Healey of North Woodstock for the State Grange opposed delegation of power and rising costs.
