SOME BIG PROBLEMS
BEFORE COMMISSION
As There Are Eleven Power
Cases Still before That Body
as Yet Not Passed On.

CHARLESTON, July 15.-Thirty-
one cases were on the docket OF the
public service commission at the con-
vening Of the court this morning.
Settlements in few of these already
had been reached and orders were
entered today. Eleven Of the cases
were the applications Of power COM
panies for permission to condemn
lands and construct dams for hydro
electric Developments.
The applications, which have been
before the commission for several
months. have brought up what is
regarded as the largest question the
public service commission has had to
solve. since the matter Of granting
or refusing the petitions is placed abb
solutely in the hands Of this bi-par-
tisan board. No action was expected,
however, in any of the eleven cases
at the present session. That they
would be continued at least another
month, as they have been from month
to month since January. was the be-
lief Of Secretary Bernheim, In speak
ing Of the cases yesterday afternoon.
All Of these. with the exception Of
one, were filed before October of last
year. That OF The Northern Virginia
Power Company to condemn lands
and construct dam on the Shenan-
doah river in Jefferson county, was
filed May /, 1914. The order for
publication was made at the June
