Pennsylvania Utilities Co. v. Lehigh Navigation Electric Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided May 23, 1916 · Brown, Frazer, Mestrezat, Stewart, Walling
254 Pa. 289; 98 A. 950; 1916 Pa. LEXIS 720

Pennsylvania Utilities Co. v. Lehigh Navigation Electric Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

As it did not affirmatively appear that the Lehigh Navigation Electric Company had not, prior to January 1, 1911, — the date when the Public Service Commission Act went into effect, — actually commenced to exercise its franchises in the territory covered by its charter, the court below did not err in dismissing appellant’s appeal from the action of the Public Service Commission.

Appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.
