The Federal Trade Commission released details on a new method used by utility holding firms. Phoenix Utility Company, part of Electric Bond and Share, contracted for construction work and obtained expense advances, then bought equipment and materials. It charged 4 to 5 percent fees plus expenses, transferring profits to Electric Bond and Share. Phoenix employs many officers paid by related firms, while salaries are charged to operating expenses. No agency currently regulates this subsidiary’s fee collection.
