Economic Value of Electric Light and Power (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Economic Value of Electric Light and Power

I thought it necessary that some things should be said for the electric industry in the interest of those who are, or should become, users of Electric Service.

I felt that I could say those things. This made it my duty to say them.

Now that I have said them, it will quickly appear that there are those who can say them better than I have done; also, that there are others who are not in accord with what I have said. Both classes of critics are aware that in our day of civilization there is no monopoly of the expression of thought, therefore I have a reasonable hope that in due time I shall hear from them freely and fully.

I design this book to be of service -

1st, To those who are interested in obtaining state or municipal legislation. Such legislation should place the Electric Service of a city on the basis of a Pvblic Improvement, entitled to special privileges, in order to secure the service for users, on terms and under economic conditions best calculated to properly serve the interests of all citizens.
