This is the application of the Mackay Light & Power
Company for a certificate of public convenience and neces-
sity permitting and authorizing it to build a transmission
line from its plant, located near the Village of Mackay in
Custer County, to the Village of Arco in Butte County, and to
furnish electric service to said Village of Arco and the
territory adjacent to such transmission line.
The application conforms to the rules of practice
and procedure of the Commission. A notice of filing and a
copy of the application were served on the Village of Arco,
the Ashton, St, Anthony Light & Power Company, which is
giving electric service at Mud Lake about 46 miles distant
from Arco, and the Idaho Power Company which is giving eleo-
tric service at Blackfoot about 60 miles distant from Arco,
and each was informed that it was permitted to intervene
in the proceeding.
The Village of Arco filed a petition in Intervention
denying that the public convenience and necessity of said
Village required the construction of the transmission line
proposed by applicant, and alleging that its municipally
ment and, extension, would furnish service to the said Vil-
lage and its inhabitants for all present and future demands.
The matter was heard before Commissioner A. L.
Preehafer at Arco, on May 19, 1919.
From the admissions made by the parties and the
evidence adduced at the hearing, it appears that the appli-
cant is an electrical corporation duly incorporated under
the laws of the State of Idaho; that it owns and operates
an electric power plant having a present capacity of about
100 kilowatts, located about four miles from the Village
of Mackay; that applicant has made arrangements to build
a new plant.with a largely increased water head and, when
completed, will have a capacity of 300 kilowatts; that the
maximum capacity required to serve the present demands on
applicant's system is 100 kilowatts; tiat applicant proposes
to construct a transmission line of 22,000 volts capacity
from its proposed plant to the Village of Arco, a distance
of approximately 26 miles; that applicant is able to finance
its proposed improvements and construction; and that the
time required to complete such improvements and construction
is six months.
It further appears that the Village of Arco, Inter-
venor, is a municipal corporation and is the county seat of
Butte County; that it owns and operates an electric light
and power plant of about 30 kilowatts capacity, the motive
power being a 37j horsepower oil engine, and a distribution
system in the Village; that the applicant has offered to
purchase such prt of said municipal system as could be. used
In connection with its proposed. service.
Intervenor admits that its present electric service
is inadequate and unsatisfactory and that it is seeking
electric current from some other source.
It appears that Intervenor has called, a bond elec-
tion for June 17, 1919, to pass upon a proposal to issue
municipal bonds in the sum of $0,000.00, the proceeds of
such issue to be used in building a transmission line to
connect with the Mud. Lake substation of the Ashton, St.
Anthony Light & Power Company, a distance of about 46 miles,
that Intervenor has an offer from said Company to sell power
at wholesale at its said Mud. Lake substation to intervenor
at 31 per kilowatt hour, an& that it proposes to secure its
electric current from that source.
The Commission has no jurisdiction over municipally
owned utilities and has nothing to do with the granting of
municipal franchises, but under the law, public utilities
must secure from the Commission a certificate of public con-
venience and necessity as a condition precedent to applying
for a franchise in new territory, and since it is admitted
that the public convenience and necessity of the Village of
Arco and its inhabitants require electric current from some
source other than the existing municipal plant, it devolves
upon us, in passing upon this application, to consider which
of the proposed sources of supply of electric current will
best serve the public convenience and necessity.
The testimony shows that the proposed transmission
line of the applicant will pass through a well settled country
for nearly its entire length, including the Village of Moore,
and that it will be possible to serve a considerable popu-
lation inaddition to the Village of Arco and its inhabitants.
The Commission must take into consideration the convenience
and necessity of these people, and we believe that the village
Af A vn n Qr1i1.i 1 i Innivio 'hda an 4 fly, +
hand., the transmission line which Intervenor proposes to
construct to Mud. Lake will pass, for the most part, through
barren or uninhabited, territory and the construction expense
and upkeep of tnis line must be born by the inhabitants of
Arco practically alone.
The Commission is further constrained to favor the
Mackay source of power by the fact that the Arco territory
is within the ntur,l field of the applicant conpny. Its
only market is the Village of Mackay, the Village of Arco
and the intervening and, surrounding territory and it appears
that it has sufficient power available to supply that terri-
tory for many years to come, and the length of transmission
line required. is 26 miles, while the Ashton & St. Anthony
Power Company has tributary to its present operations ample
virgin territory for expansion and development, and the length
of line necessary to reach this territory is 46 miles.
From the standpoint of economy the Commission be-
lieves the facts all support the Mackay source for current.
The testimony is clear that the transmission line to Mud
Lake cannot be built for less than 60,000.00. The neces-
sary transformer or substation equipment, plus the investment
in the distribution system in the Village of Arco, will make
the necessary total investment, at a very low estimate,
70,000.00 to furnish the service desired. Intervenor's
testimony shows that the receipts from the municipally owned
plant amount to only $2701.33 per annum. Depreciation and
interest alone on a $70,000,00 investment, without any allow-
ance for the cost of current and operating expenses, will
amount to over $7,500.00 per annum. Transmission line and
distribution system loss will be considerable, and the pre-
a vi 1- a ,'t-P wmA ni I v 1- a I vi I ri a a 1 al' v.1 'hn 1-4 nvl
system will be very greatly increased by adding a long trans-
mission line and transformer or substation equipment. The
Commission will not attempt at this time to estimate the
cost per kilowatt hour to the oonsu*ers in Arco from the
proposed Mud. Lake connection, but we believe the cost will
be much higher than the cost of the Mackay service. Appli-
cant claims its total investment, including the proposed new
plant and the Arco service would be approximately 475,000.000
The upkeep and return on this investment would be distributed
over Mackay, Arco and intervening and surrounding territory.
FINDINGS.
1.
That the public convenience and necessity of the
Village of Arco and its inhabitants and of the residents
adjacent to the proposed transmission line of the applicant
herein, require and, will require electric service and that
such service can beet be furnished by the Mackay Light &
Power Company, applicant herein, and that a certificate of
public convenience and necessity should be issued to said
applicant, Mackay Light & Power Company, as prayed. for.
2.
That said applicant, Mackay Light & Power Company,
should be required to increase the capacity of its existing
plant, near the Village of Mackay, to such an extent as will
provide ample capacity for its proposed. Arco service and
intervening territory.
3.
That said plant improvement and the proposed trans-
mission line to the Village of Arco should be completed and
of a franchise by said. Village.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, That the applicant, Mackay
Light & Power Company, be, and it hereby is granted, and this
order shall be considered, as a certificate that the present
and future public convenience and necessity of the Village
of Arco and its inhabitants, and the inhabitants of the ter-
ritory adjacent to the proposed transmission line of said
applicant from its plant near the said Village of Mackay to
the Village of Arco, require and will require the construction
by said applicant, of a transmission line from applicant's
plant to the said Village of Arco, for the purpose of furnish-
ing electric service to the said territory and its inhabitants.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That said applicant begin the
construction of such transmission line within 30 days from
the date on which it shall secure a franchise from the said
Village of Arco and shall complete the same ready for service
within six months from the date of such franchise.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That applicant, within 30 days
after the completion of its proposed transmission line, file
with this Commission a full and complete inventory and account
of the cost of construction of such transmission line, to-
gether with a map showing the location thereof.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That before commencing the
furnishing -of electric service to the Village of Arco, appli-
cant file with this Commission a complete schedule of rates,
tolls, rentals and charges, together with a copy of any rules
and regulations, contracts, privileges and facilities which
in any way affect said rates, tolls, rentals or charges, or

Complainant, I CASE NO. F-194
V86 NO. 601.
UTAH POW & LIGHT COM'A,
a corporation,

Defendant, I
The defendant, Utah Power & Light Company, on the 27th day of
September, 1919, filed its petition for rehearing on the ground that the
Commission in its Order No. 569 d.id not make the extension to the village
of Ririe therein required contingent upon a guaranty by the said village
and other intending users, of the annual revenue in an amount at least
equal to the estimated revenue found by the Commission, and asks that the
decision as rendered be modified to the extent of making the company's
obligation to serve the village of Ririe contingent upon a guaranteed an-
nual revenue in the amount at least of the estimate. We are unable to sub-
scribe to the rule sought by the defendant.
Idaho may fairly be said to be in the first process of development,
with the natural resources not as yet fully known, and only slightly devel-
oped, and with community and population growth but little past the beginning.
Our people, communities and districts are interdependent. The development of
one helps the others. The lack of development of one retards the others. The
time is not yet when any community in Idaho has reached its maximum development,
and for that reason should be entitled to consideration as a separate and dis-
tinct unit, or to have its rights and privileges fixed as such and without refer-
ence to other communities or districts. And we are not disposed to accept any
such separation at this time, which would be the result of a required guarantee.
. .
The reasons which influence the making of extensions from the view-
point of the public are radically different from those which are of the first
iportance to the utility. The public wants service; the utility profits.
Those extensions which assure a satisfactory profit from the. beginning the
utility will make of its own motion, and we need not concern ourselves with
such. Those which will probably come to our attention will have to do with
communities or districts within a zone covered by a utility where the utility
does not regard the extension desired as sufficiently profitable of itself to
be attractive. In such cases our inquiry must be first, as to the service
needs of the public; and then as to whether they can be reasonably met by the
utility. This we can only determine from a view of the utility's business as
a whole, and the question as to whether the proposed extension, if made, will
bring the total revenue of the utility below a sufficient return on the total
investment, including the extension, is a matter peculiarly within the knowl- I
edge of the utility, and the burden of establihing such a fact, if it exists,
is on the utility. The convenience and necessity of the public demand that
each ttility render the maximum of,service possible which its total revenue
will justify.
To adopt a rule that each extension should be made only when a sufficient
revenue is guaranteed would be practically to shut out each community or dis-
trict desiring service until such tiie a the amount of revenue would be satis-
factory to the utility, when each extension was considered by itself, which,
for the reasons above set forth, we are unwilling at this time to do.
At this point we wish to point a difference between extensions to reach
unserved districts or communities, and those made to individuals in a district
or community already served. In the former case there is not only the immediate
service offered, but there is reason to expect a later substantial increase. In
the latter case there is little, if anything, to be expected beyond the immediate
service.
F11 rO\
. .
If we take the position that each new district or community shall
receive service only when it guarantees an amount of revenue at the usual rates
to satisfy the utility, we should, in fairness, complete the step. we should
examine the revenue from each separate district served and reduce the rates
in those where the volume of business produces an amount necessary to mcke ,{a
sufficient return, while in those in which the total revenue permits the
return to fall below the sufficiency point roquir' a guaranty - in effect
raise the rates. e are not prepared to adopt such a posItion#
For the reasons above noted we find that the petition for rehearing,
so far as it seeks to have the extension to Rune made contingent on a guarantee,
should be denied, and it is so ordered.
The defendant directs our attention to the fact that it does not have a
certificate of Convenience and )ecessit; covering the village of Rune, and
requests that one issue. Concerning this the Commission finds;
1.That the Utah Power & Li't Company is a corporation authorized to
do business in the State of Idaho and is engaed in the business of generating,
transmitting and distributing electrical energy for the service of the residents
of said State in certain pl2ces and districts.
2.That the village of Ririe,JefferSOli County, IdJio, is situated in a
district proierly to be served by the Utah iol er & Light Company, such district
being contiguous to that now being served by said Company, agl that no other
public utility is now rendering to said village electitoal service.
3.That as a precedent condition to making a legal application to a
village for a franchise a certificate of convenience and necessity is required. -
relating to the particular villae, and that no certificate has been issued to
the Utah Poer. Lignt Company relatin specific.ly to said village of Rune.
That the convenience an.]. necessity of the public require, and will
require, that said Utah iouer & Lii'ht Company extend its hues and electrical
service to the said village of 'Ririe, inJeffersOCounty, Idaho, and to the
residents of said vil]age.

said applicant in obtaining a certain franchise from Madison
County, Idaho, on July 16 9 1917, and authorizing applicant
to exercise the rights and pzivileges granted by said, franchise.
The application conforms to all the requirements of The rules of
practice of the Commission.
Applicant states that what is now iiadison County, Idaho,
was fCWLmerly a part a f Fremont County, Id.ho, and that applicant,
under authority of franchise of said Fremont County, had coflstot-

I

Complainant, I CASE NO. F-194
V86 NO. 601.
UTAH POW & LIGHT COM'A,
a corporation,

Defendant, I
The defendant, Utah Power & Light Company, on the 27th day of
September, 1919, filed its petition for rehearing on the ground that the
Commission in its Order No. 569 d.id not make the extension to the village
of Ririe therein required contingent upon a guaranty by the said village
and other intending users, of the annual revenue in an amount at least
equal to the estimated revenue found by the Commission, and asks that the
decision as rendered be modified to the extent of making the company's
obligation to serve the village of Ririe contingent upon a guaranteed an-
nual revenue in the amount at least of the estimate. We are unable to sub-
scribe to the rule sought by the defendant.
Idaho may fairly be said to be in the first process of development,
with the natural resources not as yet fully known, and only slightly devel-
oped, and with community and population growth but little past the beginning.
Our people, communities and districts are interdependent. The development of
one helps the others. The lack of development of one retards the others. The
time is not yet when any community in Idaho has reached its maximum development,
and for that reason should be entitled to consideration as a separate and dis-
tinct unit, or to have its rights and privileges fixed as such and without refer-
ence to other communities or districts. And we are not disposed to accept any
such separation at this time, which would be the result of a required guarantee.
. .
The reasons which influence the making of extensions from the view-
point of the public are radically different from those which are of the first
iportance to the utility. The public wants service; the utility profits.
Those extensions which assure a satisfactory profit from the. beginning the
utility will make of its own motion, and we need not concern ourselves with
such. Those which will probably come to our attention will have to do with
communities or districts within a zone covered by a utility where the utility
does not regard the extension desired as sufficiently profitable of itself to
be attractive. In such cases our inquiry must be first, as to the service
needs of the public; and then as to whether they can be reasonably met by the
utility. This we can only determine from a view of the utility's business as
a whole, and the question as to whether the proposed extension, if made, will
bring the total revenue of the utility below a sufficient return on the total
investment, including the extension, is a matter peculiarly within the knowl- I
edge of the utility, and the burden of establihing such a fact, if it exists,
is on the utility. The convenience and necessity of the public demand that
each ttility render the maximum of,service possible which its total revenue
will justify.
To adopt a rule that each extension should be made only when a sufficient
revenue is guaranteed would be practically to shut out each community or dis-
trict desiring service until such tiie a the amount of revenue would be satis-
factory to the utility, when each extension was considered by itself, which,
for the reasons above set forth, we are unwilling at this time to do.
At this point we wish to point a difference between extensions to reach
unserved districts or communities, and those made to individuals in a district
or community already served. In the former case there is not only the immediate
service offered, but there is reason to expect a later substantial increase. In
the latter case there is little, if anything, to be expected beyond the immediate
service.
F11 rO\
. .
If we take the position that each new district or community shall
receive service only when it guarantees an amount of revenue at the usual rates
to satisfy the utility, we should, in fairness, complete the step. we should
examine the revenue from each separate district served and reduce the rates
in those where the volume of business produces an amount necessary to mcke ,{a
sufficient return, while in those in which the total revenue permits the
return to fall below the sufficiency point roquir' a guaranty - in effect
raise the rates. e are not prepared to adopt such a posItion#
For the reasons above noted we find that the petition for rehearing,
so far as it seeks to have the extension to Rune made contingent on a guarantee,
should be denied, and it is so ordered.
The defendant directs our attention to the fact that it does not have a
certificate of Convenience and )ecessit; covering the village of Rune, and
requests that one issue. Concerning this the Commission finds;
1.That the Utah Power & Li't Company is a corporation authorized to
do business in the State of Idaho and is engaed in the business of generating,
transmitting and distributing electrical energy for the service of the residents
of said State in certain pl2ces and districts.
2.That the village of Ririe,JefferSOli County, IdJio, is situated in a
district proierly to be served by the Utah iol er & Light Company, such district
being contiguous to that now being served by said Company, agl that no other
public utility is now rendering to said village electitoal service.
3.That as a precedent condition to making a legal application to a
village for a franchise a certificate of convenience and necessity is required. -
relating to the particular villae, and that no certificate has been issued to
the Utah Poer. Lignt Company relatin specific.ly to said village of Rune.
That the convenience an.]. necessity of the public require, and will
require, that said Utah iouer & Lii'ht Company extend its hues and electrical
service to the said village of 'Ririe, inJeffersOCounty, Idaho, and to the
residents of said vil]age.

On the 19th day of June, 1917, 0. N. Friday of Dubois,
Fremont County, Idaho, applied, to this Commission for a certifi-
cate of convenience and necessity authorizing him and his assitneeà
to construct, maintain and operate an electric light and power
system for the purpose of furnishing to the Village of Dubois and
the community of Spencer in Fremont County, Idaho, and the community
of Oamae in Jefferson County, Idaho, and the inhabitants thereof,
eleorical service. Application is accompanied by a map showing
the location of the proposed transmission lines and the Village
and communities to be served.
Applicant states that he is about to form a corporation
for the purpose of constructing and operating such electric light
and power system and for that reason asks that the certificate, if
granted., be issued to him and his assignees.
Applicant proposes to construct an electrical d,istri-
. .
mission line to Earner, Idaho, where he will connect with the
transmission line of the Ashton & St*Anthony Power Company and
secure electric current for his consumers from that company.
He also proposes to construct a power plant on Medicine Lodge
Creek at a point about fourteen (14) miles northwest of Dubois
and build a transmission line thence to the Village and communities
he desires to serve.
On the above date, R. W. Iaterdhl of Dubois,, Idaho,
attorney for applicant, appeared before the Coninission and gave
testimony under oath in support of the avonents of the applicat-
ion. From the application and the testimony offered in support
thereof, it a ppears that applicant is financially able to construct
the proposed electric light and power system and that the public
convenience and necessity of said Village and conimmities and the
inhabitants thereof reaire and will require electrical service
but it does not at this time ap3eaz' to the Commission that there
is a necessity for the construction of the proposed power plant
on said Medicine Lodge Creek.
From the showing made in support of said applioatiOn
the Commission finds that the public convenience and necessity of
the Village of Dubois and the communities Of Spencer in Praznont
county, Idaho and the oonznunity of Camas in Jefferson County, Idaho,
will require the construction, maintenance and operate of elect-
rical distribution 31)rsterns in said Village and communities and the
building of a transmission line from Earner, Idaho, to said Village
and communities for the purpose of furnishing such Tillage and
oonrnitlea and the inhabitanta thereof with electrical service.
I .
It farther appears that this is not a ease requiring
a public bearing, there being no utility of similar character
operating in the territory sought to be served and that a certi-
ficate of public convenience and necessity should be issued to
applicant and his assignees, permitting and authorizing them to
construct, amintain and operate an electric light and power system
for the purpose or famishing electrical service to the Village
and conimmit lea above described,
The Qonaission further finds that it will be for the
best interests of the said Village and oonwnities and the inhibit-
ants thereof to require applicant and his assignees to be prepared
to serve said Village and eonranitles with electrical service
within a period of two (2) years from the date of this Certificate
and Order.
IT IS ZY 02WIFIED that the present and future public
convenience and neoeuity require and will require 0. N. Friday
and his assignees to construct o own,, operate and, maintain electrical
distribution systems in the Village of Dubois and the community
or Spencer in Premont County, Idaho, and the ctmmity of Caanas in

In the Matter of the application of
The Swan Creek Electric Company, a
Corporation, for permit to construct )
an electric trnsmiasion line from the (
Utah-Idaho State line at the south end. ) CASE NO. P-14.
of Bear Lake County, Idaho, north to (
Fish Haven and St. Charles, and for )
certificate of public convenience and (
necessity for said towns.
Be M. Pugmire for the applicant.
LJ.Barrette for the Intervener,
Utah Power & Light 14ompanye
This is an application of the Swan Creek Electric
Company, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Utah,
and duly authorized inder the laws of Idaho to do business within
this State, for a certificate that the present or future public
convenience and necessity require or will require the construction
of an electrical transmission line from its generating plant loca-
ted. in Rich county, Utah, from the Utah-Idaho State line northerly
through the Village of Fish Haven to St. Charles, in Bear Lake County,
Idaho, and the construction of proper distribution systems in said
villages.
The Utah Power & Light Company, a corporation, ser-
ving a large territory in eastern Idaho, intervening, appears to
resist the granting of such certificate in so far as the seine related
to the village of St. Charles, for the reason that said corporation
is already serving said village with electrical energy.
No objection was urged to the Issuance of the cer-
tificate In so far as It relates to the village of Pish Haven by the
Intervener, the objection relating solely to the village of St.
Charles, Up to this time the activities of the applicant have been
confined to the State of Utah, where the evidence shows it is now
supplying two small villages, viz: laketbWn and garden City. The
applicant now desires to enter the State of Idaho, and it was
urged that this was part of the plans of the company when it start-
ed operations; that St. Charles is the largest of the towns it
originally proposed to serve, and that one of the principal induce-
ments for the organization of the company and the construction of
its present plant was to supply the inhabitants of said town with
electrical energy, and that the residents of said town as a whole
desire It to enter said town for the purposes mentioned; that
Its plalit mo.uld,not be profitable and could not be operated at
a reasonable profit for Its stockholders unless it be permitted
to extend its transmission line Into said towns of Fish haven and
St. Charles and supply the inhabitants thereof with electrical our-
rent for light and power purposes.
The swan Creek Electric Company was organized on
May 2, 1913, at which time the village of St. Charles was being
served with electrical energy by the Bear Lake Power Company, which
company has been succeeded by the Utah rower & Light Company, the
intervener herein. It was shown by applicant and admitted by the
Intervener that the service fu:nished to the inhabitants of the
village of St. Charles was unsatisfactory, and it was contended
that this fact would enable the applicant to enter said village and
procure practically all of the customers of the intervener in addi-
tion to a considerable amount of new business not now being ser-
ved, on account of the unsatisfactory service at present being fur-
nished..
It was admitted by both parties that the present
possible maximum gross revenue In the village of St. Charles would
not exceed 4100 per month, the pupulation of sail village being
less than 500 Inhabitants. The evidence shows that the gross
revenue derived by the Utah Power & Light Company for the past
six months was $185. or about 930 per month.
The evidnce discloses that the Utah Power & Light
FIk1
Company has an investment, necessary to the furnishing of elecz'i.-:.,
- cal energy to the village of 6t. Charles, of approximately 08000.
This includes betterments and improvements under way necessary to
furnishing St. Charles with adequate and satisfactory service in
the Immediate future, and it was admitted by applicant herein that
said Utah Power & Light Company would undoubtedly within the next
thirty days be in a position to furnish adequate and satisfactory
service.
In order for the applicant herein to reach St. Charles
It would be necessary to construct approximately ten miles of
transmission line in addition to duplicating the present distri-
bution system in said village, which would necessitate an outlay
of not less than 8000. There would then be an investment of
16000. to serve a village capable of producing §100 maximum gross
revenue per month. Certainly sound business judgment would argue
against any investment built on such a promise of future profitable
return. Applicant hopes, if allowed to enter the field, to destroy
the income of the present company entirely and render Its invest-
ment valueless. Just how this is to be done is not made clear,
but assuming for the sake of argument that this can be done, we
do not believe that the purpose of this statute is to encourage or
countenance such action. On the other hand, if the applicant
should fail to gather to itself all of the revenue derived, from
the village of St. Charles, It then follows that the two companies
must divide what is already a very meager Income for the one com-
pany already In the field, with a loss to both companies.
We are, therefore, inclined to the opinion that @o
reasonable contention can be made that the present or future pub-
lic convenience and necessity require or will require the construc-
tion of an additional transmission line and distribution system
in the village of St. Charles, and that the application must there-
fore be denied.
ORDER.
The Swan Creek Electric Company having applied, to
the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Idaho for a cer-
tificate that the present or future public convenience and ne-
cessity require or will require the construction by it of an elec-
trical transmission line from the Utah-Idaho state line northerly
through Fish xiaven to 6t. Charles in Bear Lake County, Idaho, and
a public hearing having been held, in the office of the Commission
at Boise, Idaho, on December 12th, 1913, and after considering the
evidence and the facts in the case,
IT IS dEREBY OiDRED, vThat there be granted, and
there is hereby granted to said applicant the certificate as ap-
plied for in so far as the territory of 1ish Haven is concerned,
and be denied in so far as the village of ot. Charles is concerned.
The foregoing opinion and order are hereby approved
and ordered filed as the opinion and order of the Public Utilities
Commission of the State of Idaho.
Dated at Boise, Idaho, this 15th day of December,
1913.
