has just as high a ratio as the East, there is great dissimilarity in their 
percentages of concentration. 
It should be borne in mind here that not only are these ratios of 
long term debt indicative of the proportion of total equities obtained 
from long term obligations, but they are conversely a measure of the 
proportion of the total equities devoted to the net worth, since the 
current liabilities are uniformly small in the utility industry. Thus 
where the ratio of long term debt is small, the ratios constituting the 
net worth will be large, and vice versa.
