Staff Special. the COLUMBUS, 0., May 23.—In progressive Ohio, people have put a stop to public utilities basing their rates for service on watered capitalization In a precedent-making decision, the state public utilities commission has just held the PHYSICAL VALUATIO} of utility properties, and not stock and bond issues, SHALL BE THE BASIS FOR RATE MAKING The decision will put millions of dollars into the pockets of the people. And it will be done by squeezing millions upon millions of water out of the | utility corporations. | o- “28 Rates for all classes of public utility service are bound to come} down in Ohio, because practically every utility in the state ts bulging with water and the utility ma in the past have been able to force the people to pay “a just return” on the watered capitalizations. A year ago Ohio passed a law giving the state utility commission authority to°make physical valuations of all utility properties—st car, gas, water, electric light, telephones, sec ee The little elty of Bucyrus had a city council composed of real people To start matters, this council, by ordinance, fixed eight cents as the maximum price at which electric current for domestic lighting could be sold in the city. The Bucyrus Light and Power Co., having & monopoly of the field, had been charging 10 cents. The company, with a capitalization of $242,000, not Including | $256,000 of claimed “current Mabilities,” insisted that !t would not make @ fair return on its “Investment.” The utilities commission set about to determine just how much of the $342,000 capitalization was water and how much actual property. When the commission's experts got through they found that the actual physical vaiue of the company’s plant, Includ- Ing everything and useful” In carrying on the busine ‘was $81,000! To this they added $14,000 for money spent by the company in such “overhead charge as financing, developing business, interest) during construction of the plant, engineering and superintendence, | taxes and | 1 expenses. This made a total valuation of $95,000, on which the state com- mission will permit the company to base rates for service! THIS DECISION WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT EVERY UTILITY CORPORATION IN OHIO, Already the commission has under head- way physical valuations of the Cincinnati Traction company, which charges a straight five-cent fare; the Union Gas and Electric Co, of Cincinnati; the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co., the Cleveland Telephone Co. (Bell), and the Cuyahoga Telephone Co., independent. In addition, every other public utility in the state had been ordered to file with the commission complete inventories of {ts property for the guidance of the commission in making physical valuations, As soon as present franchises expire and a public utility le ready for a new rate franchise, the Ohio utilities commis- sion will step in, squeeze the water out of the corporations and that are based on ACTUAL, BEDROCK PHYS- HORSEWHIPPED BY IRATE WIFE; TOBOARD; FINDS LIVE IN A ROOM Annie Kingston has a sign out- side ber house at 1822 Howard st., advertising the fact that she takes babies and little children to board.
