The co-operative or partnership idea gov-erning the relations between the utility and its publicwill spread widely in the electric railway field; it isbeing advocated for the steam railroads after the the closer relation will come through a morenearly perfect commission regulation, partial city repre-sentation on a board of control or sole city membershipthereon will depend upon local conditions. The mainpoint is that the credit of utilities must be restored bya sound and fair and farsighted rate system. As theutility operators have proved worthy of public trustand as the needs of the utility do not demand heroicmeasures in the form of direct city aid, just so is thedegree of public control likely to be minimized.
