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.
