DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Public Utility Rates: A Discussion of the Principles and Practice Underlying Charges for Water, Gas, Electricity, Communication and Transportation Services The author has felt that such a review of essential facts and principles can best be arranged by some third impartial party, such as an editor of an engineering journal being affiliated neither with a public-service corporation nor a regulating commission, but in touch with both and not confining all his attention to the field of one utility class. It seems reasonable that such a third party can most easily attempt to approach the several and conflicting viewpoints and can best endeavor to pick out the essential elements of the problems in the most nearly unbiased manner because free from the pursuit of petty details and the irritating distractions of daily administration. With the foregoing ideas in mind, the author has carefully studied the wealth of discussion that has come to him and he has very gradually formulated this presentation. It is admittedly incomplete and possibly defective, but it is hoped that continued open-minded study and discussion may enable the reader to bridge gaps and eliminate fallacies. It is only fair to all approaching the subject with Open mind, to warn them that some of the author's Opinions, while supported by the views of many eminent engineers and economists, are not yet accepted by some others equally promi nent. An attempt has been made where such divergence exists, to present the diverging ideas. Acknowledgment is here made to many prominent specialists in the several utility branches for their ready cooperation and frank criticism of the author's notes at various stages of growth. Their number and modesty prevent more complete and specific credit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
