Governor Lilley Urges Its Passes in a
Document to the General
Assembly Today
HARTFORD. Feb. 26.—-'l‘lle follow-
ing message from Governor Lllley to
the General Assembly at Hartford was
read this afternoon:
To the Honorable General Assembly:
I desire again to call the attention
of your honorable body to the report
and bill of the commission concerning
public service corporations, which I
believe to be the most important meas-
ure before the General Assembly 10!
Connecticut at this time.
It is unnecessary to comment on the
present condition of public utilities
corporations in this state, or to urge
this bill upon you as a reform meas
me, but I do urge it upon you as an
enlightened and progressive legisla-
tion in line with the advanced policy
of sister states. .
The immense complexity of modern
business conditions has rendered the
supervision which is practicable under
the present system insufficient It is
no longer possible for the legislature
meeting once in two years for a few
months. to give pilbllc utilities that
careful scrutiny which the people
rightfully demand. The same source

liege now should be in session at all
times to see to it that those special
privileges which are granted for the
benefit of the. people are exercised in
the interests of the people.
I do not apprehend, on the other
hand. that persons who have invested .
their money ill the corporation will COIOYS, bIECk and tans. ‘
suffer ill any manner by the change i.
recommended. for it laige portion of
the bill especially provides for the
safeguarding of their investments to a
greater degree than is now possible.
There is no suggestion of It" attempt
by the state to interfere with the
proper management of the corpora-
tions, but there is a cleai intent to put
them on an equal basis and under caro-
fiil and continuous supervision. Any
public service corporation properly
and honestly organized and managed
can have nothing to fear, and every-
thing to gain from the creation of a
utility of the legislature undertaking
public service commission.
There is no question in my mind biit .
that the legislature is the proper body
to consider all questions of general
policy concerning this or any: other
subject. hilt I do. question the advisa-
bility of the legislature undertakingsto
