the majority order declared.
Chairman Harry T. West

O. Worthlngton wrote lengthy
dissents to the majority de
cision.
Both contended that the
majority of the commisstow
was following tactics slmUm
to those in two natural gte
rate cases. In which the Stem
Supreme Court reversed dm
commission.
Westcott said he did not
advocate that Western Carol

that Its earnings for the period
tested by the commission's
accounting staff mid before
the commission la this case
era Insufficient to flnmiceWe

"In the final analysis. It Is
the commission's responsibi
lity, not the responsibility of
the utility or of the commis
sion's staff, ? find the fair
value of a utility property
upon which a reasonable rate
of return should be establish
ed," the chairman said.
Worthlngton said he fotrd
that consideration of the re

"The company la engaged In
