of these conditions are found to exist
the commission is empowered to de
termine and prescribe what will be
the just and reasonable maximum
rate and what regulation or practice is
just, reasonable and fair.
The commission is given access to
the accounts of the companies affected
by the act, but examiners are forbid
den under penalty Of heavy fine and
long Imprisonment from divulging the
facts ascertained. Fines of $500 for
each failure to keep proper accounts
