UTILITY EDITOR ASSAILS PUBLIC OWNED SYSTEMS Says Cities Laboring Under 'Watered Parallel To 'Watered Stock' MATHER RESUMES FIGHT While Attorney N.

O. Mather was lambasting the Ohio Edison Co. Monday night in Perkins auditorium, J. M. Jenckes, Wheeling, W.

engineer, was telling an audience at First United Presbyterian church what is wrong with public utilities in general. The first meeting was sponsored by the Twenty-Five Year club. The other was arranged by the Ohio association. Attorney Mather, once chief counsel for the interests which he berated, was opposed by a voice friendly to the privately owned utilities. Invited By Ohio Edison Editor James B.

Wootan of Publio Service, a Chicago publication devoted to the discussion of utility questions, came here at the solicitation of E. B. Atchley, public relations representative of the Ohio Edison Co. The Twenty-Five Year club sought to present both sides of the question. Editor Wootan became exasperated because there was whispering in the auditorium.

He insisted he knowledge of local conditions, but declared: "Whatever your particular problems are, rest, assured that solution of them not be found in municipal ownership." He quoted federal census figures to show that in only two states was the average electric cost to consumers ownership than uneter "private control. He declared the tax commission of Ohio in a survey of 20 cities has demonstrated that public ownership of utilities is more costly. Says Cities Victimized He answered the "watered stock" cry against privately owned utilities by saying that cities were themselves victims of "watered bonds" that taxpayers were struggling to pay. The proper solution, he said is to accept municipal ownership of utilities only by making such municipally owned projects accept charges for depreciation and. obsolescence, for debt service and for the amount of taxes they displaced on the duplicate.

"We're approaching the day," he said, "when we'll tax publicly owned utilities. Only 4.5 per cent of all the generated today in electric plants is generated by municipally owned projects." For Public Ownership Attorney said he hadn't prepared address because he had been busy "trying to get a brewery and it seems about as hard open one open now as it was to close one a' few years ago." "No small community can afford to engage in municipal ownership of its utilities," he said, "but a large community such as Akron, or such as Akron, Barberton and Cuyahoga Falls combined, can well afford to do so, providing the venture is managed by experts and not by professional politicians." Raps Council Committee The city council utilities committee he referred to as furnishing "a most painful exhibition of ignorance and stupidity." He was pleased, he said, to observe that Council President Ed Rose had "hit the sawdust trail." "Let us hope," said Mather, "that this member of council who has made his pledge with the city and with his family and with his God will at least keep faith with his God." "Prices of every other commodity have declined at least 40 per cent, declared Mather, "while you and I are paying the same electric rates as in war times. We can be thankthat we have six out of 13 councilmen who are going to stick for the rights of our citizens in this franchise fight." He prodicted passage of the Sanderson rate ordinance next Tuesday and discussed the rates it carries in comparison with rates. existing. Inflated Value Mather declared that, in his opinion, the actual fair value of property used by the company in furnishing service doesn't "total half of the $113,000,000 returned by the company as representing the proper valuation of its equipment account." Attorney Roy H.

Nesbitt for the company and E. B. Atchley were in the audience. Pythians To Direct H. E.
