UTILITIES MUST COMPETE
WITH OTHER BUSINESSES
Distinguished from a manufactur
ing establishment, a public utility iJ
generally non-competitive. Because
of this the utility is hedged in with
many laws and regulations intended
to limit its operations and to con
trol its. financing.
It Is frequently overlooked that
two Ft reams of money must be con
tinually flowing into a utility prop
erty serving a growing community.
One stream, from revenues derived
from the sale of service, has to pay,
all operating costs, interest and divi-i
(Tends, he second stream is the new!
capital necessary to build extensions ',
end serve new customers. !
The utility must go into the open
,1
market to supply the second stream!
of money. To be successful it must!
pay the market price and must meet
the market conditions of the moment.;
If not free to do so, new money will j
be diverted into other channels, and
tho company cannot properly grow to'
serve its public.
It is one thing-for a regulatory
body to fix rates which limit earn-'
ings on money already obtained, but
it is quite another to hold them so
low that investors cannot be induced
to supply the capital necessary for,
expansion. For this reason, rate of'
interest or dividends that a company
must pay in order to secure money
for additional property, must be an
ever-present factor in regulation of
earnings.
