proval of a merger and the decision
states that it has been ascertaincd
that they have competing lines, but
that the operation of the lines re-
suits in duplication of service and
facilities which places a burden upon
the public and prevents the compa-
MES from making extensions neces-
sary to afford adequate service. The
decision says that if the question OF
improvement of the service and
benefits to the public was the only
one 1t would unhesitatingly approve
the application filed. However, the
courts nave held and the Legislature
has followed the ruling that the act
authorizing formation of telegraph
companies included telephone COM
panies so that the commission must
follow the constitutional prohibition
of mergers of telegraph companies.
IF it were not for this constitu-
tional provision we would hold that
the public service company law has
repealed those provision of various
acts of assembly which prohibit the
consolidation of telephone compa-
nies owning, operating or controlling
competing lines" concludes the de-
cision.
