The rapid and consistent expansion
of the electric* pow er industry has
n atu rally made it one of the most
im p o rtan t borrow ers in the invest
m ent - m arkets of the country. In
re c e n t years the securities issued by
these utilities have am ounted to about
a billion dollars annually. The am ount
o f strictly new capital absorbed by
ce n tra l statio n s alone is indicated by
the increase in estim ated value of
p la n t and equipm ent y e a r by year.
This item increased >759,000,000 in
1927, $842,000,000 in 1926, and
$721,09«,000 in 1925.
An im p o rtan t fe a tu re of the finan
cial operations of the electric power
industry has been the sale of secu
ritie s to em ployees and custom ers.
This m ethod of raising new capital
has in most cases proved highly suc
cessful, and has accordingly been
practised on an increasing scale. Its
chief advantages are th a t it tap s new
sources of capital by appealing to in
dividuals who m ight otherw ise not
become investors a t all, and th a t it
im proves the relations betw een the
com panies, th e ir employees, and the
public by giving the la tte r groups a
sense of in terests in common w ith the
utilities. From the broad social point
of view, it has the additional m erit
of encouraging th r if t on th e p a rt of
people of m oderate m eans and con
trib u tin g to the diffusion of owner
ship in the co u n try ’s w ealth.
The grow th of the industry, the in
creasing efficiency of its m anagem ent,
and the gradual developm ent of more
liberal policies in public regulation,
have com bined to raise th e standing
of electric pow er and light securities
in the investm ent m arkets. It was
only a few years ago th a t public u ti
lities w ere regarded as largely ex
perim ental, partly because of the un
certain fu tu re of the in d u stry ’s oper
ations and p artly because^ the question
of public ow nership and control was
very acute. Now the continued grow th
in the use of electricity is unques
tio n ed ; public ow nership, in the sense
of governm ental ow nership, ia alm ost
universally discredited; and the p rin
ciples underlying valuation and ra te
m aking by regulatory bodies are g rad
ually becom ing more clearly defined.
M oreover, the genuine im provem ent
th a t has everyw here been evident in
the service rendered by the utilities,
the general and. often voluntary re
ductions in rates, and the system atic
efforts of the companies to improve
th e ir relations w ith the public, have
largely rem oved the antagonistic feel
ings th a t w ere so freq u en tly encoun
tered in the past.
