Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided June 15, 1933
240 A.D. 743
In re Staten Island Edison Corp.

Opinion of the Court

Determination confirmed, with fifty dollars costs and disbursements. Hill, P. J., Rhodes, Crapser and Bliss, JJ., concur; Heffernan, J., dissents on the ground that the proposed bond issue in this case is reasonably required for refunding purposes, and that the expenditure to be refunded as a capital is distinct from an operating or income *744charge. The debt which petitioner owes constitutes a lawful obligation. That being so it must be paid either in cash or by refunding bonds. In my judgment the Public Service Commission has misconstrued its authority.
