PUBLIC RULE OF UTILITIES WINS RENEWED FAVOR Experiment In New York Is Proving Success Past Expectations. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Newly roused interest in public ownership of public utilities is being demonstrated from east to west coasts as result of an experiment in financing now nearing a succcessful close in New York City. New York has found a way to build public utilities without increasing her bonded indebtedness. A few years ago the Port of New York Authority was created and given power by the legislatures of New York and New Jersey to issue bonds for port improvements secured by mortgages on the properties it was to acquire and by the revenues to be derived therefronl. Building Three Bridges The Port Authority is building three bridges connecting New York and New Jersey. It successfully has floated bonds for all these projects. Bonds for the first two bridges sold at 4V6 per cent coupon rate. For the third bridge 4 per cent bonds were issued, but were sold at a slight discount. The' bonds*are not a lien against taxpayers’ property. Neither State legally is liable for their redemption. Each State has, however, lent its moral support to the project, and public confidence in the bonds is strong. They have been made legal investment for savings banks and trustees, public officers and insurance companies. Under this system, the utilities literally pay for their own construction, and when this is accomplished they either become free to all the people or a source of public revenue. Will Yield Revenue Before any of her projects were undertaken, the Port Authority had expert surveys made to ascertain that the bridges under contemplation would yield an adequate revenue. The bonds were issued on this basis, and the bridge tolls pledged for their repayment. Two of the New York bridges sere nearly completed and will start paying for themselves next year. The plan has succeeded so well !ln this instance that Albany has created a municipal port authority to improve the port there. Governor A1 Smith has recommended to the New York legislature that State development of power resources be undertaken in the same way. ' Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Washington have followed New York’s lead and adopted State laws permitting creation of local authorities. San Francisco city officials have been studying the New York plan recently, as a possible means of financing the proposed San Francisco bay bridge.

Like Bull With Horns; Says Man

HAMMOND, Ind., July 12.—Paul Kosty, 37-year-o!d Hungarian workman "felt like a bull with horns sticking out” when a 24-foot steel rod pierced his 'head in a foundry accident, he told the United Press. “I was working at my bench, straightening bars,” he said. "The machines were shut off. Just as i was about to raise up I heard the machines whir again, but I couldn't stop. I didn’t feel the bar strike me, although I was fully conscious. The first thing I knew I was pulling at the hot bar with my hands, and yelled for the fellows to help me pull it out. .“I felt like a bull with horns sticking out of my head,” he said laughingly. He was the only one who laughed. His nurse, and his physician, Dr. Joseph Pugh, were marvelling at the stamina of the man who could live with a hole in his head from the left jaw to the right forehead. “I tried to pull it out. You see, it doggone near went through my whole head. I hollered and yelled. Some of the boys came running, and helped me yank it out.” Kosty appeared to be suffering no pain. He has been told, he said, that when the wound has healed a bit more, that surgeons will put steel plates in the skull to close the wound. His right eye—on the side where the bar came out—appeared to flicker a bit, and was said to be partly paralyzed. His main difficulty now, officials

TOURISTS PAY 010 VISA BILL Rubber Stamps Will Cost Americans $3,000,000. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 12. —The 200,000 Americans expected to visit Europe this year face a bill of at least $3,000,000 for European rub-ber-stamps, in the shape of the $lO visa fee still assessed by several European Governments on American passports. The tourists Will already have contributed $lO each to the U. S. Government for their passports, so their total rubber-stamp bill probably will not be far from $5,000,000. The United States Government has been trying for three years to get a reduction in the $lO visa fees of foreign governments, but France, England, ItcJy and Norway still charge $lO. Spain charges $2.50. The other principal countries visa American passports free. Congress empowered the Sta*e Department to seek reciprocal reductions of visa fees from European nations, but little success has been achieved. No intimation of a reduction in the State Department passport fees for American tcuric s has been made, however. It is said the fees provide enough money to run the department.
