Jurisdiction--Atomic Energy--Federal Pre-Emption And State Regulation Of Radioactive Air Pollution: Who Is The Master Of The Atomic Genie?, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Pending litigation between the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Northern States Power Company presents a potential federal-state conflict over the right of a state to impose upon operators of nuclear power plants more exacting pollution control standards than those required by regulations of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The AEC issued Northern States Power Company a permit to construct a nuclear power generating plant in Monticello, Minnesota. The regulations under which that permit was issued place a ceiling on the amount of radioactive effluents which can be discharged into the air during the course of the plant's operations. But under …

Antitrust Powers Of The Aec, Bernhard G. Bechhoefer
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article is directed toward an interpretation of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as it concerns the authority of the AEC to consider the antitrust implications incident to its licensing functions. This inquiry will include an examination of the respective responsibilities of the AEC and the Justice Department in meeting the anti-competitive possibilities of the nuclear industry.

Early in 1951 a group of interested members of the faculty of The University of Michigan Law School conceived the idea of a research project, the purpose of which would be to investigate the principal unique legal problems being created and likely to be created in the future by peaceful uses of atomic energy. The group planned the preparation and publication of a series of manuscripts which might ultimately emerge as one or more printed volumes dealing with the legal problems affecting this new form of energy. Many phases of the subject were scrutinized, including the rule-making and licensing powers …

Securities Legislation - Public Utility Holding Company Act Jurisdiction Of The Securities And Exchange Commission, Robert Kneeland
Securities Legislation - Public Utility Holding Company Act Jurisdiction Of The Securities And Exchange Commission, Robert Kneeland
Michigan Law Review
In 1935 the International Paper and Power Company filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to secure permanent exemption from the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. While this application was pending, the company formed a plan for recapitalization of its stock, and applied to the commission for an order validating the plan. The report of the commission on this plan was approved by the requisite number of shareholders of the company, whereupon the commission entered an order purporting to exempt from the provisions of the act the stock and the warrants for stock …
Public Utilities - Rate Regulation - Reproduction Cost And Prudent Investment As Factors In Determining "Fair Value", Erwin B. Ellmann
Public Utilities - Rate Regulation - Reproduction Cost And Prudent Investment As Factors In Determining "Fair Value", Erwin B. Ellmann
Michigan Law Review
At a hearing conducted by the California Railroad Commission, the existing gas rates charged by a utility were deemed unreasonable, and a new schedule of rates was prescribed. The commission, in determining the rate base, used historical cost exclusively, and refused to attach any weight to the present cost of reproducing the properties. A three-judge federal court enjoined the enforcement of the rates without making a finding that as prescribed the rates were confiscatory. Held, by a majority of the Court, the trial court was without power to enjoin the enforcement of the rates, regardless of the method of …

Commission Jurisdiction Over Utility Cooperatives, Israel Packel
Commission Jurisdiction Over Utility Cooperatives, Israel Packel
Michigan Law Review
A group of farmers desire electricity. They propose to form a cooperative, to borrow money and to construct electric distribution lines. They probably will incorporate the cooperative as a stock or non-stock corporation in order to obtain the benefit of limited liability. The cooperative might be formed under a statute specifically enacted to authorize the formation of cooperatives or under a general incorporation statute. Normally, the charter of the cooperative will provide for equality in control by the members or shareholders and for a limited return or no return on capital investment. The cooperative will probably apply to the Federal …
Public Utilities -- Rate-Base -- Late Supreme Court Decisions
Public Utilities -- Rate-Base -- Late Supreme Court Decisions
Michigan Law Review
In fixing the rate-base of a telephone company, the Maryland Public Service Commission translated the agreed 1923 rate-base (with all subsequent additions to plant) to 1933 price levels by means of a composite price index which included both general all-commodity indices, and indices particularly adapted to the telephone business. Held, that an order enjoining enforcement of the rates will be affirmed. West v. Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co., (U.S. 1935) 55 S. Ct. 894.
Public Utilities-Rate Base-Allowance For Depreciation
Public Utilities-Rate Base-Allowance For Depreciation
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff toll bridge company appealed from an order of the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission which set a value for rate-making purposes on their bridge property, constructed in 1924-25, identical to the original valuation order of 1926, for the rate-base as of February 2, 1932. The order allowed a depreciation deduction annually which, with 4 per cent simple interest, would amount to enough to replace the bridge at the end of its estimated period of usefulness. The company claimed the order was confiscatory, as based solely on original cost, without taking into account current cost of reproduction; and that interest should …
Public Utility Valuation - Rate Base
Public Utility Valuation - Rate Base
Michigan Law Review
The California Railroad Commission, in conducting a hearing in 1930 on natural gas rates charged by the Los Angeles Gas and Electric Corporation, found that the "historical value" of the utility was $60,704,000, and that its "fair value" for rate-making purposes was $65,000,000. This fair. value figure included no specific allowance for going concern value. The company's engineers had estimated the fair value at $95,000,000, on the basis of the "present cost of reproduction" theory. The commission, relying on its fair value figure of $65,000,000, ordered a rate reduction. A three-judge federal court refused to enjoin the enforcement of the …
Burden Of Proof In Rate Cases Involving Inter-Corporate Charges, William E. Treadway
Burden Of Proof In Rate Cases Involving Inter-Corporate Charges, William E. Treadway
Michigan Law Review
The United States Supreme Court has held repeatedly that dealings between intercorporately related companies should be scrutinized closely to prevent any unfair advantage being taken of a subsidiary public utility company by a dominant organization through an exercise of the control inherent in capital stock ownership.1 Yet in an opinion written by Mr. Justice McReynolds in 1923, the court laid down a rule for utilities commissions in rate cases involving intercorporate service-contract charges which, if strictly adhered to, would have sounded the death knell for effective commission regulation.
Administrative Tribunals-Right To Federal Injunction Against Administrative Orders
Administrative Tribunals-Right To Federal Injunction Against Administrative Orders
Michigan Law Review
The public utility commission of Ohio refused to permit the plaintiff motor bus company to operate over a portion of the route for which application was made for a certificate. The plaintiff applied to the federal district court for an injunction against enforcement of the commission's order on the ground that it amounted to a deprivation of property without due process. A temporary injunction was granted. Thereafter, the plaintiff took a statutory appeal to the state supreme court, which affirmed the order, after which the plaintiff sought a permanent injunction in the federal court. Held, the decision of the …
Public Utilities-Power Of Interstate Commerce Commision To Give Certificate Of Convenience And Necessity
Michigan Law Review
Certain coal fields in West Virginia are served by the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Norfolk and Western, and the Virginian railroads. The Chesapeake and the Norfolk compete for the westbound coal traffic coming over the Virginian which has no lines in the western part of these fields. The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized the Virginian to build a short connecting line which made possible much cheaper carriage over the Chesapeake, and authorized the Norfolk to construct a similar line in order to compete on equal terms. The Chesapeake sought a reversal on the ground that the Interstate Commerce Commission is not …

Public Utility Valuation For Rate Making Purposes
Public Utility Valuation For Rate Making Purposes
Michigan Law Review
Ever since Munn v. Illinois (1876) 94 U. S. 113, which first decided that the charges to be made for services rendered by public utilities were to be subject to governmental regulation, the courts have been confronted with a problem, so elusive and indefinite, that over five decades of litigation and wrangling have failed to provide a satisfactory solution. The so called "rule" of Smyth v. Ames (1898) 169 U. S. 466, specifying the elements to be considered in ascertaining the value of public utilities for the purpose of rate-making, has only served to submerge the problem further in its …
Public Utilities -Statutory Review By The State Supreme Court Of A Decision By The Commission
Public Utilities -Statutory Review By The State Supreme Court Of A Decision By The Commission
Michigan Law Review
Fifteen states in enacting public utility laws creating public utility commissions, have provided for an appeal on review of commission decisions, by the supreme court of the state. Other states provide for review by lower state courts with a subsequent appeal therefrom to the supreme court. No doubt, the direct appeal goes hand in hand with the more expeditious legal procedure exemplified by the creation of such administrative tribunals. In most states, including eight of the above fifteen, the constitutions provide that the jurisdiction of the supreme courts shall be appellate only, except for a few prerogative writs of original …
Public Utilities-Power Of Commission To Change Rate Paid By Private User Under Special Contract With The Utility
Michigan Law Review
Within the last decade the right of the state to change the rates of a public utility, as fixed by contract, has been presented to the courts numerous times. An examination of the cases on the subject shows that much of the law has now become settled.
Fair Value Of Public Utilities, Edwin C. Goddard
Fair Value Of Public Utilities, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
Such being the decisions, we turn to the practical working of the theories that have been applied. The law is a practical subject. Even in so sacred a matter as protection of property, rules of law should regard the practical results of any theory. A theory that works badly, presumptively at least, is defective, and may be wrong. The guaranties of the Constitution were made for man, not man for the guaranties, and a conception of property that does not work out for the advantage of man may raise a query whether the Constitution demands that conception. It was that …
