PSC Battle Again

By ROBERT BLOEM WHOEVER SAID opportunity knocks but once never spent

much time around the Public Service Commission.

There the

golden opportunity to take the dear public to the cleaners knocks

almost every day.

Of course, it's possible that the garantuan public utilities are not seeking such an opportunity, that all they want is a fair

take-out from what they've put in. It may be, too, that the combined efforts of .the commission and the Public Counselor are adequate to safeguard the public Interests. Frankly, we can't say these

things aren't true. But a few days spent around that state department ought to convince anybody that if they are true, it's a '.24-karat miracle. The same few days should convince any utility rate payer (that's you) that if what he dosen't know won't hurt him, then the PSC is the safest place in the world. And he’s bound to come away convinced - that the public _ counselor should get a gold star as the man who has the most unfair competition. As for the

at the top of the list of jobs somebody else can have.

Some statisticians and attorneys specialize even more—they stick to just one utility. For their efforts, they may be paid in a range from $10,000

®t .

they are all through preparing. their figures, the petition for a rate boost is filed. Lawyers read questions off an exhibit, the “witness” answers the questions off a copy of the same paper, then the exhibits are introduced in evidence. Against this array of talent ‘and preparation the Public Counselor.may then put on his little David and Goliath act. Sometimes he gets tim to study the exhibits. He can do that in his spare time, whatever

is left over from doing the same

thing in maybe half a dozen other cases. - ” ” THE COMMISSION has a modest staff of its own engineers and accountants who sometimes help the counselor and his lone assistant. They do that when they can take time out 6 from hundreds of other matters awaiting their attention. The recent limited hearing on the Illinois Bell Telephone rate case was one where it worked

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

st Powerful Utilities Is Da

Counselor just cross-examined the “witnesses” the company produced on the exhibits they had laboriously prepared. He had no “witnesses” or experts of his own, no exhibits. He was about in the same position as a defendant in a murder trial might be if ‘he couldn't produce any evidence or witnesses of his own but had to be content with trying to trip the prosecuting witnesses. He was assisted by some interested parties from Lake County, one of them a preacher who crossexamined some of the utility's witnesses. He didn't bring out any reasons why the utility shouldn't have {ts rates increased. ~ | SA THE preacher did establish that one company witness had never read “The Prince” by Machiavelli. Another little hitch” in this method of protecting the public’'s interests developed when

into the question of who pays for what. He seemed disturbed by the fact that it appeared the phone company helped pay for research which Western Electric Co. then converted into products which were sold back to the phone company which installed them so {it could get more money to pay for more research so Western could make more products to sell back to them and so on. : The hitch was that at (his point the expért witness developed’ a sudden attack of noncomprehension. He failed to see the connection. He was not, of course, being pald to see the compnection. Presumably only an expert hired by Mr. Steckler could have developed a real interest in his questions. There was no such expert available at the moment. - ” » ~ INTHE CONFUSION it never quite came out that the

- guy who paid’ for all this was

phone bill each month, It seems to be a fact in phone utilities and all others as well that except for an initial capital investment the little bill payer furnishes all the money to build these utility empires, Yet somehow these utility layouts keep growing and growing. Even some which, by statistics and tricks of the trade, can prove they are losing thousands of dollars a day, grow and grow, One of the remarkable advantages of being in the utilities business seems tor be that a utility can lose money indefinitély and maybe even go broke eventually without impairing its profit yield to those connected with it. We did get bright enough to understand one of the little tricks which make this such a remarkable business. A man showed us how to take a $4500 truck, operate it for nine years, and turn it in for $6500.

mate the life of sald truck at five years and set aside $900 each of five years, out of what it brings in, for depreciation: Then you find it's good for four more years, so you revise your original estimate, and continue depreciating at one’ ninth of $4500 or $500 each year. At the finish you come up

‘with a worn out truck and

$6500 in your depreciation account. Don't go out and try it. though, because it has certain disadvantages unless you have a statistician. And you couldn’t afford one on the income from ome little old $4500 truck. : x x THERE ARE, in addition to tricks of the trade, certain fascinating theories of utilities which have come to be accepted by commissions everywhere, It seems, for example, that management is the utility's: own business, and if they foul up the’ job and turn up with a loss at

mission must he more concerned with the red ink figures than how they got there. . There is what is called a uniform system of accounting which means, in rate payers’ language, that all utilities have to. use the same tricks. In addition to coping with this standard supply of tricks-of the trade, commissioners also must wrestle with the question of how much the service is worth to the guy who is paying for it, Sit down some night and figure ‘out ‘from’ every possible angle how much your phone or your electric lights are .worth to you. You'll probably come out about like the commissioners do—it's worth it, even If it isn’t worth it. One man who is an expert at what goes on around the
