Excerpt from Abstracts of Reports Made by Public Utilities to the Board of Public Utility Commissioners for the Year 1912 This volume of statistics was compiled from the annual reports rendered to the Board by street railway, gas, electric light and power, telephone, sewer, and water utilities for the year ending December 31, 1912. Abstracts of reports from steam railroads for the year ending June' 30, 1912, are contained in the volume of statistics published by the Board in 1913, and the reports for the year ending June 30, 1913 were not received in time to be included in the present volume. With the exception of street rail ways, reports for the year 1912 were received from both operating and non-operating companies, among the latter being included those whose plants are operated by other companies under lease or through the right ensuing from ownership of the majority of their outstanding capital stocks, and also those which expect to become operating companies as soon as their plants are completed and ready for service. No reports were received from holding or other companies which do not directly operate or own any property devoted or about to be devoted to public utility service, and hence do not fall within the definition of public utility contained in paragraph 15 of Chapter 195, Laws of 1911.
