Description
This is an appeal from the judgment of the Circuit Court of Cole County affirming orders issued by the Public Service Commission in its Case No. 14,399, directing the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company to furnish telephone service in an area, located in Madison County, known as the ""Three Mile Strip"". The case originated upon the petition of residents of the area requesting that they be afforded telephone service by Bell. In proceedings before the Commission the petitioners were opposed by Bell and also by respondent Doniphan Telephone Company. The circuit court reviewed the Commission's orders pursuant to Doniphan's application for a writ of certiorari or review. No review was sought by Bell. Doniphan alone has appealed from the circuit court's judgment of affirmance. The appeal was originally directed to the Supreme Court. Doniphan attempted to invoke that court's jurisdiction on grounds that the case involves the construction of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Missouri. The Supreme Court determined that the appeal presented no issue which would require construction of a constitutional provision and that there did not appear to be any other basis for vesting jurisdiction in that court. Accordingly, the case was transferred to this court. See, State ex rel Doniphan Telephone Company vs. Public Service Commission of Missouri, 369 S.W.2d 572.
