Abstract
In 1925 a valuation was made of one of the largest public utilities in the United States and in connection therewith a detailed study of the trend, year by year, from 1914 to date, of the construction cost of various public utility properties. It was found that, since 1918, whether a street railway, a gas or an electric property, a power plant or a distribution system, a sub-station or a transmission line, for all these, regardless of location or magnitude, the composite trend was substantially the same. In no instance was an exception found.
