Sikeston Loses Bid to Oust Electric Utility
The Missouri Supreme Court upholds the Public Service Commission in denying Sikeston's bid to cancel a private utility's certificate to operate. The 20-year franchise expired in 1922, yet the company continued to serve, while Sikeston voted bonds in 1980 to build a municipal plant. The ruling clarifies that city competition does not revoke existing private rights or the commission's authority.
