BELL TEL. CO. v. P.U.C

Telephone companies — Intrastate toll service jointly rendered by two companies — Division of joint revenue derived therefrom — Methods of apportioning property and related expenses — In ascertaining cost of rendering joint service — Order of commission not unreasonable or unlawful — Court will not substitute its judgment for that of commission.

Per Curiam.

Appellant contends that the order of the commission is unlawful, unreasonable, not supported by any evidence, manifestly against the weight of the evidence, and prejudicial to appellant.

Ordinarily this court will not substitute its judgment on questions of fact for that of the commission. City of Marietta v. Public Utilities Commission, 148 Ohio St. 173; City of Cincinnati v. Public Utilities Commission, 161 Ohio St. 395, 399; Toledo Terminal Rd. Co. v. Public Utilities Commission, 173 Ohio St. 251.

It does not appear from an examination of the record that the order of the commission is against the manifest weight of the evidence or is otherwise unlawful or unreasonable. The order is, therefore, affirmed.

Order affirmed.
