The utilities under the custom er ownership plan, hare formed a contact with stockholders mutual in its benefits. The latter are in a position to appreciate claims made by the corporations, and if just, to conduct .a campaign of education and demand that they be managed hlong sound lines which will ljad to development in conformity wi'h the public good. The knowledge that they are un der the close scrutiny of thous ands makes the management alert to conduct affairs in a manner which will permit no criticism, which in turn assures not only the best public service, but the manager, net only knows tho cream business, but has the ad vantage from tho standpoint that he knows the 1 roducers' end.
