The fire caught in the attic or third story den. Mrs. Bailey had just put soma trash in the fire place and lighted it and went to another room for some more. When she returned shortly she found that the blase had in some way caught in a pile of paper several feet away. She called for help, and Prof.

Handy threw on some water, but it was seen that the fire was beyond control and an alarm waa turned in, Tbe company did very effective work, 'and saved the house from a total loss. It will require a new root and complete re finishing inside because of the water damage. The pair coat will be from $1500 to 12000, and the insurance will cover the amount The contents of the house were all saved, some more or less damaged, ex sept many things in the attic, espeelsl ly valued as keepsskes, which were de atreyed. Mr. and Mrs.

Bailey have the avmoathv of the community in their misfortune. Steuben Republican. ally there are out standing' $1,700,000, 000 preferred stock and $4,468, 000, 000 common shares or a total obligation of $11,168,000,000. In 1916. interest was met on $4,930, 000,000 of these mortgages, dividends paid on $4,325,000,000 of stock.

In 1917, coupons on $4,837,000,000 bonds were cashed, while income on stock was reduced to $3,820,000,000 capital shares. What the payments 'on bonds and certificates will be in 1918 is altogether conjectural, at least so far as dividend drawers are concerned. If there be no relief on the part of utilities commis sions the shares that will continue to yield an income will be halved at a con servative estimate. More than 60 per cent of industrial or mill power is furnished by tnese organizations. Over 80 per cent of factory employes are transported to and from their work by street and in terurban lines.

Gas companies, for lack of capital, cannot meet the increasing demands made upon them in urban centers for cooking and heating. Some of ihe plants Ornish a vital ingredient in explosives used by the United States government. thus being a valuable aid to the ordi nance department Properties of this nature heretofore and before the war spent between $600,000,000 and $7,000,000 a year in new construction. Co incident with the rise in the cost of materials and dif ficulty in securing capital, a drastic re trenchment was put into effect begin ning in 1915. The result of the forced curtailment the requirements of the companies are greater now than nor mally.

They have for the past three year spent less than the usual amount in extending their facilities. There is a necessity for expenditures upon a larger scale than has usually prevailed because of the great public necessities. Upon some corporations there is bonded Indebtedness maturing in 1918 of about $225,000,000. Operating companies up to tne pre sent have been, in some instances, supported by holding concerns, which have furnished funds were subsidiaries, which funds were, obtained through issuing short term notes secured, in many Mr. cases, by underlying bonds of subsidi ary companies or by the notes of the subsidiary companies.

The holding con cerns will be unable to continue this policy. The minimum of money required for unavoidable extensions during the year 1918 is estimated from one hundred million to two hundred million dollars. The cost of material used by the public utilities has doubled in three years. In examples, copper wire has risen 180, pipe 100, insulation matter 150 per cent These are stern facts, not the postulates of political economists, not the protests of company managers, not the plea of bond and stock holders, not the arguments of bankers. To the public at large inclusive of gas and'electricity consumers, of tele phone users, of street railway and trolley riders it is not a question of who shall own or control or supervise or manage tbe properties.

It is rather the pressing problem of keeping the properties efficient and solvent The public wants first of all competent service, which it cannot have unless the corporations can show solvency, so long as expenses mounts and income decreases. Secondly, the jeopardizing of $11, 168,000,000 of securities in positively harmful to the nation's financial struc ture and at the same time inimical to the well being of its economic condition. A power plant a gas concern, an electric light company, a street rail way, a trolley line is a public utility in exactly the same sense as a steam railroad or a steamship organization. The government, thru the interstate com merce commission has repeatedly permitted the railways to increase rates since 1919; it has given a lift tothip ping by indirect subsidy and ancillary insurance underwriting in the given time. Why, then, should state atiiity commissioners and town councillors hesitate to do for public utilities what the federal authorities have done for similar utilities? The conditions and exigencies are precisely parallel.

Do state commissioners and town councillors wish to pretermit their obvious duty by forcing public utilities into receiverships and thereby allow the companies to name rates themselves with the quite inevitable sanction of a federal judge?
