"These bills are a deterrent to the public ownership of public utilities," he said.

'TRINCirLE VIOLATED." H. C. Symonds, a director of the Marin district, said: "The bills violate a fundamental principle of government They are almost equivalent to a veto of the right of eminent domain by which the government may take over private properties for the greater public use. It virtually leaves the rlfiht of eminent domain to the private Individual." The bills were resisted by the legislative delegation from San Francisco, especially by Assistant City Attorney Leo Lennon, the city's legislative counsel. "We are gratified," said Lennon, "at the committee's action.

The bills 'offered a serious menace to public ownership.
