Excerpt from Valuation of Public Utility Properties Much important information relating to valuation work exists in various public papers, but heretofore there has been no com prehensive attempt to digest and compile this material. The author has been engaged for several years past in valuing property aggregating hundreds Of millions of dollars. He has devoted much time to the study of the opinions, papers, discus sions, reports of commissions, and court decisions relating to the subject. He has endeavored in this book to digest this material, in so far as possible and to present a summary of the best practice, with typical examples thereof. The aim has been to indicate, if possible, the line along which theory and practice seem likely to be standardized. NO attempt is made to hold a brief either for the necessity of valuing property on the one hand, or the injustice of doing so, on the other. The work relates rather to approved methods of ascertaining values not only of tangible property, but of in tangible property as well. It treats of appraisals which have become more or less historic, and have helped to establish the precedents of current practice.

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.
