Summary:
These records were produced or gathered during a two-year investigation of the Public Service Commission. Most records relate
to the "Thompson Commission's" regulation of transportation companies rather than utility companies. The majority pertain
to issues involved in constructing the New York City rapid transit system including its design, financing, letting contracts,
supervising building, and auditing companies involved in projects. Other records focus on methods of issuing stock and providing
security for shareholders in financing large-scale public projects.
