Abstract: Prior to the depression, elettric and natural gas utilities experienced a great expansion. New sources of gas supply were developed. Electric generating plants were constructed. A great enterprise was shown in the buildins of pipe lines and transmission lines. Several million people were afforded, through these extensions, the advantages, conveniences and economy of natural gas and electricity. Then with the beginning of the depression, the great construction program practically ceased. During the last five years, utilities have suffered as other industries have suffered. Tiie National Recovery Administration has added the burden of additional costs without a corresponding increase in revenue. It is probable that most companies have tried to offset this with increased rates. This has a tendency to create anti-utility sentiment that seems to be gathering force in many directions. Municipalities decide to have their own systems and plants which also causes complications. There is the continual investigation which always hurts the innocent. Problems of financing, of taxation, government control and legal decisions, all of which have helped to bring adversity to the utility field.
