WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS,
DENIED "COMPETITION"
The city of Worcester, Massachusetts, has a population of 14S,
S86. It is one of the thriving manufacturing cities of the East Re
cently promoters attempted to establish a "competing" electric light
and power plant there. These promoters were refused permission to
construct a plant by the State Public Utility Commissioners. Their
opinion, in part, reads:
"The number of companies which can conveniently engage in
this business must necessarily be limited, owing to the nature of the
work and the fact that its conduct involves an extensive use of the
public streets for poles and wires. There is a general public demand
that such a use of the public streets should be restricted, that the
number of these wires should be kept at the minimum needed prop
erly to support public needs, and that they should be multiplied only
when some substantial advantage is to be acquired or the public con
venience to be served thereby.
"It is the duty of the board and its only purpose to secure to the
people of Worcester, so far as it lies in its power, the best service at
the lowest possible price. There is some reason to believe that the
admission of the proposed company might seriously impede, perhaps
wholly defeat, this object. It must be recognized that both com
panies are to be promoted and to be conducted for the sake of profit,
and that they will be governed by the same laws as other companies
in similar business,
"The history of corporations doing an electric lighting and simi
lar business in competition, in various parts of the country, affords
strong ground for believing that a new compahy, if allowed to en
gage in business, would not long remain by itself, as competition for
a period would probably be followed, as elsewhere, by a consolida
tion or absorption."
