Twin Falls Water Power company
against the Idaho Power & Light COM
pany in relation to service in Twin
Falls, and one, by the Southern Idaho
Power company against the Idaho
Power & Light company in relation to
service in Pocatello. The petitions
asked that the complaints against the

be thoroughly gone over Saturday. But
the decision does indicate that every
protection possible will be given the
consumers before any competition is
