7 k1 STATE SUGGESTS WATER STORAGE Connecticut Says Metropolitan Area Gan Use Merrimac Hartford. March #gc and filtering of the waters of the Merrimac river for use of the metropolitan district of Boston, thus providing an inexhaustible supply of water for domestic purposes, is the suggestion of Connecticut. offered today in the water diversion of the e against the commonwealth vi achusetts, now being heard by al Master Charles W. R Paul, Minn., appointed for the purpose by the United States su- preme court. Today Connecticut commenced presentation of evidence tending to show that Massachusetts has avail- able in the eastern portion of the state, plenty of water for domecstic use which could be utilized by the oston metropolitan district, at an cxpenditure far less than will made for the purposed Swift-Ware division project. The state has seven witnesses to present evidence in the| case, all experts, and it is the expec- tion this phase of the‘testimony so war as Connecticut is concerned, will be completed this week and the miaster will then adjourn the hearing to Boston, where Massaachuscts is xpected to offer its evidence mnext and complete the hearing of case. The presentation of evidence has ken but half the time estimated for the work. Thus far, all the studies which haye been made of the Merrimac river have been along the lines of filtration, such as is done by the ¢ity of Lawrence, Mass., and which has ipparently given satisfaction. Con- necticut would propose to go even ther in the purification of the water for Boston's domestic water supply, suggesting that a reservoir be built for storage where the water could be retained for 60 or 90 days, + period considered longer than ia “nerally considered nccessary for safety. It is then suggested that the water be filtered and conveyed in an aqueduct to a pond which has a storage capacity of 13 lons, and held there for final conv ance to Boston. Thus the waters of the Merrimac would be within 23 miles of Boston. and it is proposed to show the cost of such a project. including the reservoir, aqueduct and filtration plant, would be but lightly more than the $15.000,000 lanned for the building of the Ware river project alone. and at a wing of nearly £30.000,000 on the proposed Swift-Ware diversion scheme. In addition to the enormous sav- in money Connecticut contends that the supply of water afforded by e Merrimac would meet the re- uirements of metropolitan Boston tor a long period of years, far in ex- ~ess of 1970 when it is now admit. ed, the Swift-Ware project will liave been outgrown. w I As a secondary proposal, Connec- | ficut expects to show the master that there is now in castern Massa- chusetts a series of small streams and ponds which could be linked together and would provide much more water than would the proposed diversion of the Swift and Ware vivers, and at a great saving in money William Milish Becomes Junior A: sistant Scoutmaster of Boy Scout | Unite at Church.

President Lincoln believed in ‘a gov- and for the people:’ Mr. Roraback believes in a government of the pub- lic utilities, by Mr. Roraback and for | the United Gas Improvement Com- | pany of Philadelphia. | “At the present time I wish to analyze one further remark made by | Mr. Roraback; test it with some { facts, and indicate how it is practic- ally applied in relation to clectric light and -powers rates here:in New Britain. “Mr. Rordback’said: ‘We have placed political opponents in office | they arc’the hest men for the posi- | tions and their services are indis- pensable to the state. Mr. Roraback mentions neither names nor positions. He does not tell us who the democratic indispensables to the state are. The statement is of | no value in testing out whether his | ene-man government has been of | benefit to the State of Connecticut. But two things arc common knowl- cdge. Of those we can take notice. Assembly Is Two Committees t the last general assembly there in the senate 22 republicans were 23 that during the Roraback regime our general assembly consists, for prac- tical purposes, of just two commit- tees. These arc the judiciary commit- tee and the committee on appropria- tions. The first decides what laws shall be passed. The second decides how, and for what, the state’s money shall be spent. A democrat was not appointed on either of these com- mittees. Democrats were not indis- pensable there. On the contrary the repréesentatives of the people elected by the democrats were quite dispens- able. And they were dispensed with. They had evidently not ‘demonstrat- ed that they were the hest men for the positions’” And the question arises, How does onc demonstrate that he is the best man for a posi- | pensable? The dnswer comes when we look at a second fact. “This second fact is the retention in officc of Richard T. Higgins, chairmai ‘of the public utilities com- mission. He'is a democrat. Obvious- Iy he has been kept in office because | he has demonstrated that he is the services are indispensable to state. How did he do it? Here arc some facts. Property Seizare Rights he constitution of Connecticut | prohibits the taking of private pro- perty for private purposes. Private property can be taken only for pub- lic purposes. Only the state can take private property for public purposes. It does so by cxercising what law. vers call the vight of cminent do- | main. The state may give the right | of eminent domain to a public utilfty company. This it may do because the public utility company is carrying on |a public function. Tt is deing what | the state can and should do. It is, in law, operating for the public good. The public utility is a method by which the state is fulfilling its pur- pose of promoting the general wel- fare of the people of the state. Pri- | vate persons arc permitted to do for private gain what the state should do for the general welfare. The the- | ory is that in this way you get the best benefits of private initiative at | the lowest cost to the people of the state. “But human beings are inclined to | be selfish. They forget the common needs. They work for themselves. It is human that the public utilities should try to charge all that they can and get the most that they ean for their products. Because of this the general assembly created a pub- lic utilities commission. The duty of the public utilitics commission is to see to it that the public utilities of the state charge only a reasonable amount for the products which they scll. The utilities arc cntitled to a reasonable return on their invest- ments. The public utilities commis- sion must see to it that only a rea- sonable return is made. A reason- able return is somewhere between six and cight per cent on the amount invested in the business. The rates for light and power which the utility | may charge the consumer must be rates which produce only a reason- able return on the amount invested in the business. The investment must be an actual honest investment. In- flated values are improper and ille- gal. Rates which are based upon in- flated and dishonest valuations are illegal rates and cannot be charged. 1t is the duty of ¢he commission to cxamine most carefully the accounts | of the utilities and to prevent in- | flated values. t is the further duty of the com- to allow no rates to be charged on illegal, false accounts. Has Mr. Higgins done his duty? He has net. He has allowed, and is al- lowing at the present time, rates to be -charged which are based -upon fictitious valuations and .false ac- counts. The proof of .this will be found in the files of our public util- ities eommission. Here are the facts, boiled down and simplified. Canlital Juggling Charged “In 1810 the Connecticut River Power company. and the Northern Connecticut Light and Pewer com- pany were. competitors in the same territory. In the year 1913 the Con- necticut River Power company got permission from our state legislature to generate and sell electric power and to build a dam at Windsor Locks. They never intended to build the dam and they never intended to generate power. But they entered upon their books a journal entry which gave them a fictitious capital Investment of over a million dollars. They did it in this way., They csti- mated that the water power they would get, if they did build the dam. would be about 3300 horse power. They put an arbitrary valuec of $300 on cach horse power. That gave them a capital investment of $1,050,000, on their books. But not a single dollar of real moncy was actually present in that book figure. “The Northern Connecticut Light and Power company became alarmed at this franchise given to the Con- ernment of the people, by the people | when it has been demonstrated that | and 13 democrats.

The Connecticut River Power company was forced to sell out all its property and its rights. The Northern Power company, however its books the capital investment en- try which the Connecticut River Power company had been carrying of over a million dollars. In 1914 a paper mill, known as Paper Mill No. 2, which belonged to the North- ern Connecticut Light and Power | company, burned down. The loss was fully covered by insurance to the amount of 880.000. That insurance was collected. There is no evidence | that the insurance money was put back into the business. At about the {same time a perso debt of onec of the owners of the Northern Connce- ticut Light and Power company was paid by that company. And to ac- count for the two sums of the insur- ance, $80,000, and the personal debt which’ was paid, 3100,000, another entry was made on the books of the company. These two items were put down as ‘Real Estate,’ $180.000 and carried as part of the capital in- vested by the utility. “Then came a scries of merge and incorporations in which promoters bought and sold the var.- ous companies from themselves and to themselves. Each time there was a sale the book figures of the capi tal invested went up. ILach time the promoters made a handsomc profit. But cach time no actuul capital was really invested. Then ia 1926, on or about March 31, the Northern Cownecticut Power Coui- pany arbitrarily puts upon its bool an jtem ‘fixed capital—unclassific to the sum of $714,405.34. Th was not a single bit of property. o any character to represent that su i. This made a total of over two nul- lion dollars of fictitious capital which® was being carried on th. beoks of the Northern Conncctict | Power company. And on this fict tious capital rates were based ar: charged to consumers of light and {power. Then the Northern Conne. kept on e | federal license to build a dam ani ercct a power plant at Windsoe Locks. This license was granted. Fictitious Capital Reported “And on February 1, 1928, company applied for a two year v\ tension of this licens It s a ruic |of the federal power commissio. that no extension of licenses will be granted without an investigati m into the nature of the capital assels which the company applying fo. the license possesses. According.y a federal investigator was appoint: to examine ths books of the Nor ern Connecticut Power company. He was joined by an auditor of chic Connecticut public utilities commis- sion, named Field. (Mr. Field has since died). These reported. after a searching investigation, that the Northern Connecticut Power con.- pany was carrying over two million books and that these capital charge:s should not be allowed. The repo.t was transmitted to the federal pow- er commission and to the public utilities commission of Connecticut in August of 1928. Mr. Higgins hus had that report in his possession and in his files for 'a year and a half. Yet he has allowed, and is still allowing, the Northern Connec- ticut Power company to charge anl collect rates based on that two m:l- lion dollars of fictitious capitil. And a short time ago the Northe-n Connccticut Power company 1w taken over by the Roraback inter- ests, This o t to make it perfectiy clear why XMr Roraback considuis s 1o he one of those ‘po't tical opponents’ whom he It ea in office because the; ‘demonstrated that they o best men for the positions and the: services arc Indispensable to ti state.” Indispensable to Roraback “That Mr. Higgins has been indis- pensable to Mr. Roraback and vo Governor Trumbull, who is a dire:- tor of the Cennecticut Light ani Power Company, is true. But that Mr. Higgins has been indispensable to the pecople of Connecticut we ¢ honestly doubt. “What are the results of having such an ‘indispensable’ as Mr. Hig- glns in officc? One of the results is the money you have to pay herc in New Britain for clectric light and power. I am definitely of the opin- jon that the rates charged by the Connecticut Light and Power com- pany in this town are illegal. They are basing their charges wupon an fllegal rate structure. Let mc pre- sent one aspect of this matter. The facts are given in the ratecards printed and used by the Connecticut Light and Power company. New Britain Rates “Rate 1. This rate is for domes- tic service. It consists of a flat ratc of 50 cents per month plus four cents per month per 100 square feet floor area, plus dn energy rate of five cents per K. W.'H. Let us apply that rate to threc situations and scc the result. Let us use round num- bers to make the principle clear. “First situation. Suppose that you are llving in a room which is 20 feet wide and 25 feet long. That glves you a floor arca of 6500 square feet. You use just one light. It consumes 50 K. W: H. of energy a month. Here is your bill at the end of a month. The cnergy rate is iv times five cents or §2.50. Your flat rate is ‘50 cents plus four cents for cach hundred square fect. As there are five hundred square feet, you pay 50 cents plus five times four cents, that is 50 cents plus 20 cents, which makes 70 ccnts.
