SOUTH AMERICA IS
A PROMISING FIELD
FOR NEW UTILITIES
American Capitalists Plan
Invasion to Upbuild Won
derful Resources of That
Country.
Publlo utility operators In this country
aro turning their attention to South
Amorlca as n promising field for tho es
tablishment of new electric railway,
light, heat nnd power compnnles. Com
mercial nnd manufacturing Interests havo
already laid definite pinna for tho capture
of that country's Immense trade, nnd now
tho orRonlzciB of public service corpora
tions, backed by tho electrical supply
houses, nrc arranging to take advantage
ot a situation which tho Kuropean war
has brought about, nnd which promises
to open n big new Hold to American In
vestors. It Is logical to expect that, with tho res
toration of peaco In Europo, thoro will
como a demand for new capital with
which to repair tho damngu now being
dono by Invading armies. Naturally,
whatever capital may bo ln the hands of
Kuropenn flnnnclers at the eloso of tho
war, will bo needed for constructive de
velopment In their own particular coun
tries. This situation, unfortunate an It
may he, will be America's opportunity.
For mnny yenrs, utilities ln South
America have been financed almost cn
tlroly by Kuropenn capitalists. American
flnnnclers havo hnd their hands full at
tending to the wants of the public In this
country, which has upward of $3,000,000.
000 Invested In public servlco corpora
tions. The South American situation has
been nlmost entirely lost sight of, and It
was only recently, when exporters here
began a determined crusade to capturo
tho trado of the South America republics,
that this field as a possibility for the
development of utilities was given serious
consideration.
The Held Is considered especially at
tractive because of tho mnny favorablo
concessions which mny bo hnd. Just
now the South American countries do not
represent any ndvnnced development In
tho line nf utilities. National resources
of the most Inviting character arc await
ing to be turned to practical use, and
they need only American brnlns, backed
by American capital to turn them Into
public service. That they will soon ob
tain this much needed nsslstnnce is np
parent, since It Is the plan of American
promoters to shortly lnvndo the field and
develop the great power possibilities that
have for decades gone to waste, because
of the Inck of sufficient enterprise.
In the moro prosperous countries, like
Brazil and Argentina', there has been a
marked development recently, Influenced
nlmost entirely by financial aid from
London, Brussels nnd Berlin. Particular
ly has Germany been making good prog
ress, becntiso of (he close connection be
tween Its money Interests nnd tho South
American Importers, who have been for
years In close afflllatlon with each other.
In the past, with foreign capital large
ly lntcrtsted, purchases of electrical sup
plies, whenover practical, were made
abroad. With American capital doing the
financing, however, tho American elec
trlcal concerns will, naturally, get tho
greater part of tho business.
Total trackage owned by the 12G0 street
nnd electric railways In t.ho United States
In 11)12, according to a census bulletin
just Issued, was 40,470 miles and 649 miles
leased. About one-half of theso compa
nies had their own power plant equip
ment. The total capitalization of the
operating compnnles wns $4,708,569,141, ot
which $2,3S4,314,513 was capital stock and
$2,324 223.G2S funded debt. These lines of
railways carried In that year 12,135,311,
710 passengers, ot whom 2,423,918.02-1 were
on transfers and 163,563,023 wero free.
Continental Gas and Electric Corpora
tion has acquired tho proportles formerly
controlled by Iowa-Nebraska Public
Service Company, which was placed In
the hands ot receivers something over n
year ago. The properties taken over are
Nebraska Gas and Electric Company nnd
Iowa Gas and Electric Company. The
transaction Involved $1,250,000. Funds
for the purchaso wore raised through the
salo of securities of the Continental Gas
and Electric Corporation to the Conti
nental and Commercial National Bank
and the National City Bank of Chicago.
By a decision of tho Supremo Court of
Appeals of West Virginia, tho West Vir
ginia Public Service Commlsson has al
most unlimited power over rates and reg
ulntion of public service corporations op
erating in that state.
