handle is hein.journals/infrastr1 and id is 1 raw text is: UTILITY SECTION N EWSLETTLR Vol. I No. 1 December 1, 1960 A Periodic Report to the Members of the Section of Public Utility Law of the American Bar Association Announcing the Utility Section Newsletter With this, the first issue of the Utility. Section Newsletter, your Officers and Council expand the area of the Section's service to its members. The Newslet- ter is launched with the high hope that it may provide an increasingly valuable aid, and that it will receive the enthusiastic support of our entire membership. We welcome your suggestions and assistance in forwarding the work of the Section and join with all our members in extending to the Section's Committee on Publica- tions our best wishes for the success of its fledgling Newsletter. The editor of the Utility Section Newsletter is Francis X. Welch, the Section's Secretary. His address is 332 Pennsylvania Building, Washington 4, D. C. The Utility Section Newsletter will generally consist of a message from the Chairman, news of the Section, announcement of meetings and programs, news about the membership, and significant developments with respect to legislation, decisions, articles, and other pertinent items in the field of public utility law. Material with respect to the various areas of utility industry interests will be con- tributed from time to time by members of the respective committees ol the Sec- tion. It is planned to issue the newsletters approximately three times during the calendar year: in the fall, winter, and spring.

The Chairman's Message The Chairman's first message through this new medium to the members of the Sec- tion of Public Utility Law will, understandably, deal with the Newsletter itself. The Last Retiring Chairman of our Section, Clarence H. Ross, of Chicago, active- ly supported the proposals of several Council members that the Section establish a quarterly newsletter. As a result of action taken at the 1960 Spring Meeting of your Council, Mr. Ross appointed a special committee to formulate plans for the project. It was composed of Horace P. Moulton, Chairman, and Messrs. Herbert B. Cohn, C. William Cooper, Jerrold Seymann, and Francis X. Welch, the Sec- tion's Secretary. Following a meeting in New York city in May, that committee unanimously recommended the project, and this recommendation was approved by the Council at its meeting in Washington, D. C., last August. The Council of your Section wants to extend the work of the Section and to increase the value of its services to its members. The Utility Section Newsletter, it is hoped, will be a definite step in that direction. In laying out the ground rules for his Publications Committee, Chairman Moulton recently wrote, in part:
