PREFACE
This volume of the Reports of the Public Service Commission of
the State of Missouri contains selected Reports and Orders issued
by this Commission during the period beginning December 1, 2001
through November 30, 2002. It is published pursuant to the provi-
sions of Section 386.170, et seq., Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1978,
as amended.
The syllabi or headnotes appended to the Reports and Orders are
not a part of the findings and conclusions of the Commission, but
are prepared for the purpose of facilitating reference to the opinions.
In preparing the various syllabi for a particular case an effort has
been made to include therein every point taken by the Commission
essential to the decision.
The Digest of Reports found at the end of this volume has been
prepared to assist in the finding of cases. Each of the syllabi found
at the beginning of the cases has been catalogued under specific
topics which in turn have been classified under more general topics.
Case citations, including page numbers, follow each syllabi contained
in the Digest.
