Last year Harvard University had approximately 25 per cent. of its funds invested in public utilities securities. In the period 1920-1924, public utilities holdings of national banks increased about 45 per cent. as against 20 per cent. for all other types of securities. It is estimated that on January 1, 1925, banks in the United States with 27,000,000 depositors had in- vested more than 2 billion dollars, and insurance companies with 55,000,000 policy holders had in- vested more than 2% billion dol- lars, in public utilities securities.
