Utilities win important state land case
Iowa utilities prevailed in a land use dispute over eminent domain and the routing of a 345000 volt transmission line from Lehigh to Sycamore. The district court upheld the Iowa Commerce Commission as having discretion to decide location, backing the utilities route along division lines of land rather than the railroad right of way. The four companies involved were Iowa Power and Light, Iowa Illinois Gas and Electric, Iowa Southern Utilities, and Iowa Public Service.
