Milo R. Maltbie

[1] He was a student of legal scholar Frank Johnson Goodnow there and contributed an article to a 1935 volume of essays in his honor.

In 1901 he edited and contributed to a study of the street railways of Chicago; in the introduction he was referred to as "...a well-known writer on municipal and economic subjects..."[3] Starting in 1901 Maltbie, building on the work of Henry Carter Adams on railroads, developed the idea of the "uniform system of accounts" for utilities, legally-required standards of accounting that required utilities to keep separate detailed records for each distinct part of their operations.

In 1916 he was appointed chamberlain of New York City by reform mayor John Purroy Mitchel.

[7] In 1930 Maltbie was appointed as chairman of the reconstituted statewide New York Public Service Commission by governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a post he held until 1949.

Maltbie donated over $500,000 to his alma mater Upper Iowa University in 1960 to build Maltbie-McCosh Hall, a men's dormitory.
