WHITEIS : Real Estate and Insurance, Heppner. is AT APPROXIMATELY $700,000,000 is required by the public utility companies of the country to provide service for an additional million inhabitants is one of the interesting facts brought forth in the recently published report of Senator William Al. Calder's Com mittee on Reconstruction and Production. After a searching inquiry into the various conditions bear ing upon the housing situation and the country's industrial pro duction, the Committee finds that the business of public utilities has outgrown their plant facilities owing to the inability of the companies to finance improvements and additions necessary to take care of increased service demands. "Prior to the war," states the Committee, "it is estimated that the normal annual requirements of elecric railway, gas, and electric light and power companies for extensions, betterments, and improvements was about $500,000,000, proportioned as follows: electric railways, $250,000,000; gas companies, $125, 000,000; electric light and power companies, $125,000,000. The Committee has informed that for four years not over 40 per cent of such betterments has been made, leaving an ac cumulation of about $1,200,000,000. If to this sum is added the $700,000,000 required alone for service to new residential buildings held in abeyance, a total of approximately $2,000,000, 000 seems necessary for the public utility program in the im mediate future. "The question of placing these businesses on a sound finan cial basis in order that credit may flow to them is the same ques tion which confronts steam railroads and housing, but in the case of public utilities the situation is more difficult because there is no central body as now provided in the case of steam lailroads which might adjust rates in proper relation to operat ing costs and capital investment. The utilities likewise suffer in their effort to secure new capital for necessary extensions of service by the almost insurmountable difficulty of having to com pete for such capital with municipal, state and similar tax exempt securities. Until these problems are solved the public should recognize this underlying reason for much of the faulty service and for the failure to provide the additional facilities urgently demanded to meet community needs." paid adv.
