Lewis defends public backing in railroad valuation work
Dwight N. Lewis, head of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners, contends that the public has long been represented in valuation efforts. He cites the association's Washington solicitor, a strong public-issues committee led by Fred P. Woodruff, and advisory engineers and accountants. He argues more resources would improve work but insists public interests are already effectively represented before the Interstate Commerce Commission.
