"I nder our present public service commission laws and the all too
frequent change in personnel of the commisssion regulation has not
been as complete as was expected or desired but this can be remedied.
"State regulation of public, utilities will not be permanently relin-

AN INTER I STING SURVEY
A ret at survey of <i42 commu-
nities in Minnesota shows th*
privately owned electric compa-
nies charging less for residential
electricity, on the average, than
publicly owned ones.
Forty-one of the utilities sur-
veyed were municipally owned
and generated and distributed
their own power; 70 bought their
power and distributed it over
municipally owned systems, and
522 were private companies.
The rates of the three groupe
were compared from 20 to 100
kilowatt-hours, and it was found
that at each point the rate charg-
ed by the private companies *U
less. When reaching 100 kilo-
watt-hours the rates charged by
municipal plants were almoit,
double those of the private con-
cerns. While a limited survey
of this sort cannot he taken as
conclusive, it is interesting as a
demonstration of what may be
considered an average condition
in an average state. It has al-
ways been the main argument of
municipal and government owner-
ship advocates that such plant*
could provide service cheaper
than our privately owned, state
regulated systems. But when we
come down to the actual facts, it
is usually found that this belief
is erroneous. The vast progress
made by the electric industry,
through mass production and dis-
tribution of power, has brought
rates to the lowest point in our
history, and the decline is steadi-
ly continuing, while standards of
service improve.
