The article presents information on the developments related to New Jersey. New Jersey consumers of electricity rubbed their eyes in frank astonishment the other day when they read the headline, "Commission Orders Public Service to Reduce Rates." For the first time in its thirty years of domination over the political and economic life of the state the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey has been forced to have a subsidiary reduce its rates. It has been forced to do so, furthermore, by a utility commission generally considered to be subservient to the will of the corporation, which monopolizes 80 per cent of the electric and gas business of the state and practically all the street-car and bus service as well.
