THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES ACT WITH CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS OF A SHORT HISTORY OF SUCH ACTS AND A DISCUSSION WITH ANNOTATIONS BY E. W, FREEMAN Of the Los Angeles Bar STANFORD LIBRAV SAN FRANCISCO 1912 TO THE MEMORY of the Late JUDGE HORACE C. ROLFE of the San Bernardino Bar. This book is inscribed to him not only as a tribute to his high professional character and citizenship, but as an expression of respect and admiration by one who enjoyed the good fortune of once being associated with him in the practice of law. (iii) PREFACE. In publishing this book, the central thought has been to make it a practical book, not only for the practicing attorney, but for all others who may be interested in the management and control of Public Utilities within the State of California. For the purpose of making it more comprehensive, constitutional provisions of various states have been printed herein, and authorities cited which touch upon various provisions of the act. In annotating, it was deemed advisable to cite only such decisions as would elucidate or exemplify the act under consideration. If these objects have been accomplished, this book will have served its purpose. Los Angeles, California, April, 1912. E. W. FREEMAN. (v) |
