Cost accounting for public utilities

Cost accounting for public utilities is much broader in its scope and more intricate than cost accounting for a manufacturing concern, in that public utilities sell service instead of a manufactured product, and in rendering this service are regulated, or, in a sense, governed by Federal and state regulations imposed upon them. These regulations often limit and restrict the utility from collecting a fair return for the service rendered. In many instances utilities do not have an adequate system of accounting installed to show the true cost of rendering service, and it is difficult for them to defend what they consider fair rates before the Commission under whose jurisdiction they operate. When accounting systems do not reflect the true separate capital and operating costs, it becomes necessary to re-write many of the book accounts and to appraise the property in order to determine the cost or value of the property and cost of operations for rate making purposes. This article will be confined specifically to three classes of utilities, to wit: (a) Electric Utilities, (b) Water Utilities, (c) Railroad Utilities

Pipes, Wires, and Bicycles: Rails-to-Trails, Utility Licenses, and the Shifting Scope of Railroad Easements from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Centuries

This Article responds to a series of class action suits filed against railroads, telecommunication companies, and the federal government claiming that once railroads abandon their corridors, all property rights shift to adjacent landowners. This Article reviews the state law on this matter and offers a theory of how courts should handle these cases. After discussing the history of nineteenth-century railroad land acquisition practices, we analyze the scope of the easement limited for railroad purposes. We then discuss the role abandonment plays in affecting the rights of third party users of these corridors as well as successor trail owners. We conclude with a theory of railroad easements that interprets the railroad\u27s powers based on the public participation that helped create and establish these corridors and the tenuous claims of adjacent landowners

Great East Japan Earthquake, JR East Mitigation Successes, and Lessons for California High-Speed Rail, MTI Report 12-37

California and Japan both experience frequent seismic activity, which is often damaging to infrastructure. Seismologists have developed systems for detecting and analyzing earthquakes in real-time. JR East has developed systems to mitigate the damage to their facilities and personnel, including an early earthquake detection system, retrofitting of existing facilities for seismic safety, development of more seismically resistant designs for new facilities, and earthquake response training and exercises for staff members. These systems demonstrated their value in the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 and have been further developed based on that experience. Researchers in California are developing an earthquake early warning system for the state, and the private sector has seismic sensors in place. These technologies could contribute to the safety of the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s developing system, which could emulate the best practices demonstrated in Japan in the construction of the Los Angeles-to-San Jose segment

Public Utility Air Rights

This paper aims to analyze the process performed by the territorial ngovernments in the assistance to victims of violence between 2011 and 2013. The hypothesis on which the work is based, establishes that the moment right in the middle between the institutionalization of the displacement assistance as part of the State’s roles (Ley 387 de 1997) and its integration to the framework for the assistance to victims of the conflict (Ley 1448 de 2011), a series of projects and initiatives are developed independently (or disarticulated, according other perspective), set for a short term period and adjusted to both, the Development Plans and cooperation agendas timing, in which the tendency is to favor the policies settings and not providing the services directly, these without trying to modify well–established bureaucracy models and with low financial resources addition. The territorial institutions made very little or no modifications to their operation scheme, worsening their crisis due to low response capacities to this complex situation.Es propósito de este documento analizar los procesos de atención a las víctimas de la violencia por los gobiernos territoriales en el período 2011-2013. Como hipótesis de trabajo se establece que entre el momento en que se formaliza la atención al desplazamiento como función de Estado (Ley 387 de 1997) y que se integra al marco para la atención a las víctimas del conflicto (Ley 1448 de 2011), se desarrolla de manera independiente (o desarticulada, según el punto de vista) una serie de proyectos e iniciativas de corto plazo, ajustadas a los tiempos de los Planes de Desarrollo y agendas de cooperación, en donde la tendencia es a privilegiar la fijación de políticas y no a la prestación de servicios directamente, sin intentar modificar modelos burocráticos afianzados y con baja adición de recursos financieros. Las entidades territoriales poco o nada modificaron sus esquemas de funcionamiento, profundizando, por el contrario, su crisis por bajas capacidades de respuesta a esta amplia problemática.
