=================== HES POSTING ===================== [NOTE: This was posted on H-SHGAPE, but I thought that perhaps someone on HES could provide additional help. Please address replies directly to Georg Leidenberger. -- RBE] From: Georg Leidenberger <[log in to unmask] I wrote my dissertation on the politics of transportation in Chicago at the turn of the century with a focus on the city's municipal ownership movement. Wanting to place this study into a nation-wide framework, I would like to ask for suggestions on any LITERATURE ON STATE-LEVEL PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION. In particular, I am interested in efforts to create uniform legislation for the states. James Weinstein in _Corporate Liberalism_ discusses efforts of the National Civic Federation to establish a model bill on public utility regulation to be adopted by all state legislatures. Weinstein mentions that the NCF did create a model bill on public utility regulation in October 1914, but does not discuss whether (and which) states actually adopted it. So any informtion on state-level or, even better, comparative, cross-state studies of public utility regulation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
