Excerpt from Public Utilities Their Cost New and Depreciation The valuation of public utility undertakings is a mixed question of fact, judgment and law. A comprehensive treatment of this subject requires the combined knowledge of the engineer, the economist and the lawyer. The fol lowing pages, written by an engineer, cannot be offered as an authoritative discussion of the legal questions involved. On the other hand the engineer, who is called upon to prepare and present most of the figures required by courts and commissions as evidence of the value of the property of such undertakings, must have a sufficient knowledge of the legal questions that are at issue to enable him to obtain properly and intelligently the figures needed by the tribunals whose duty it is to assign the fair present value. This must be offered in explanation of the many quotations from decisions of courts and commissions which have been incorporated in the present volume.

Excerpt from Regulation, Valuation and Depreciation of Public Utilities The book is limited to the discussion of basic principles. There fore, no reference is made to the kaleidoscopic and ephemeral regu lation enactments of the different States and Municipalities. Neither can blanket rules be given that may be blindly applied - without expert legal or engineering knowledge of the local conditions - as a test for the cost of Utility service or regulation standards in any given case.'

Excerpt from Public Utilities Their Fair Present Value and Return The present volume is intended to supplement a previous study, made by the writer, of the methods to be pursued in the valuation of the property of public utilities, by entering into a discussion of the line of reasoning which must be followed by those whose duty it is to ascertain the fair present value of a property after an appraisal has been made and all necessary information has been obtained. Likewise the subjects of going value and depreciation have been considered at some length with the hope of removing some of the present misunderstanding that exists relative to these two subjects. It is realized that the sequence of the subjects treated in the several chapters of the present work is not as logical as it might be as, under ordinary circumstances, it would have been better to have explained the full meanings of replacement cost, actual original cost, going value, and depreciation before taking up the discussion of the subjects of fair present value and fair rate of return. It was felt, however, that much of the present controversy on the latter subjects arises from attempts of partisans on the part of the public or on the part of the utilities to advocate the methods of valuation which will produce a value conforming with their personal interests. It is hoped that, by first clearly defining the significance of fair present value, many of the objections frequently raised to certain features of valuation herein advocated may be removed.

The following pages, written by an engineer, cannot be offered as an authoritative discussion of the legal questions involved.

This must be offered in explanation of the many quotations from decisions of courts and commissions which have been incorporated in the present volume. It has seemed to many who have studied this subject that the precedents are diverse and that much must yet be done before the fair present value of the property of public utilities can be defined. It is a question whether general rules can ever be laid down as to what the fair present value will be in all cases. It would seem as if such value must always be determined by "the well instructed judgment" of a broad minded and impartial tribunal.

Excerpt from Depreciation of Public Utility Properties: And Its Relation to Fair Value and Changes in the Level of Prices The regulation of public utilities in the United States is a development of recent years and is still in the period of formation and establishment of rules of practice. The great war, with its unsettling of business conditions, and the violent price fluctuations which accompanied and followed the actual war period have introduced new complications into some of the problems which were being dealt with by Regulating Commissions and Courts just at a time when it appeared that definite conclusions were being reached. Valuation and Depreciation, and the accounting methods which deal with these subjects, have been greatly complicated by the price fluctuations of the period 1914 to 1921. New questions have been raised, new arguments have been introduced and it would appear that some conclusions are in danger of being reached which may have a far reaching effect upon utility properties through the weakening of the stability of valuations already established, and the ultimate wiping out of a large part of the actual investments necessarily made in extensions of property during the period of high prices.
