State Control of Public Utilities Upheld by Lewis
Des Moines June 7 State regulation of public utilities was discussed today by Dwight N Lewis Iowa state railroad commissioner and president of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners in New York City. He urged regulation must protect the public while allowing fair returns and noted wartime rate adjustments were necessary to preserve service. He warned against abolishing state commissions and stressed cooperation between utilities and consumers. Farmers demand service and the Farm Bureau federation aids efforts to extend electric service to farms, with models where farmers build lines and utilities operate, urging a uniform system.
