Preface and Guide to Inventory
The records of the Public Utilities Commission and its predecessor, the California Railroad Commission, described in this
inventory contain a large amount of information on the facilities and operations of railroad companies, gas and electric companies,
water companies, and telephone and telegraph companies in California. The collection thus bears significantly upon the social
and economic history of the state.
Arranged according to the organization of the Public Utilities Commission in 1953, the inventory includes descriptive detail
on the following divisions: Administrative, Utilities, Transportation, Finance and Accounts, and the Southern District. Series
descriptions include entry number, title, volume in number of folders (f) and/or volumes (vols.), date span, file number,
location data, detail on physical types, and notes on subject content.
A substantial portion of the described material consists of selected FORMAL COMPLAINTS and FORMAL APPLICATIONS acted on by
the commission between 1908 and 1932. Complaint and application files relate to particular companies. They contain correspondence,
memoranda, reports, legal documents, statistical data, transcripts of hearings, exhibits, and engineers' valuations which
often provide in-depth documentation of various aspects of company operations.
An alphabetical name index of railroad companies and other utilities which lists all series or subseries containing information
on a particular company is provided on pages 264 through 288.
The inventory itemizes a large number of maps, blueprints, drawings, and photographs, which are a part of the files described.
The detailed worksheets developed by the Archives in the course of processing this material have been collected in three binders,
labeled Public Utilities Map Book, which are available for reference and research use in the Search Room of the State Archives.
Citation of the P.U.C. Map Book in the inventory refers to this Search Room finding aid.
Series 21 of the inventory deserves special note. In 1912 the Commission required all steam, electric, street, and switching
railroads in California to submit a complete set of maps of the location of their lines and facilities. Series 21 lists the
ninety-five railroad companies that submitted some 5,000 maps in responding to the order. These maps contain a vast amount
of detailed and precise information on rights of way, plats of stations, depots, yards, and other facilities, ownership of
land and location of structures adjacent to railroad lines, and nearby geographic features. The Archives has a card index
listing these maps by railroad and/or geographical location, with separate indexes for (1) alignments, (2) profiles, and (3)
station plats. The card index is further divided between the facilities of the Southern Pacific Company and all other railroads
operating in California in 1912.
Agency History
The duties of the Public Utilities Commission (hereafter P.U.C.) involve the regulation of the intrastate activities of railroads
and other transportation companies, including inter-urban and street railways, steamship companies, canals, toll bridges,
pipelines, and freight by stages and trucks, and includes the regulation of warehouses and of public utilities engaged in
the selling of water for domestic and irrigation purposes, gas, electric power, steam heat, telephone and telegraphic services.
It is primarily charged with (1) fixing rates and granting reporation for excess charges: (2) supervising service conditions:
(3) controlling financing of public utilities: and (4) regulating their competition with one another.
The first attempt by the state government to regulate public utilities came with the establishment of a Transportation Commission
in 1876, composed of three commissioners with limited jurisdiction over steam railways (
Stats. 1875-76, Chap. 515). The next year the Commission was abolished and replaced by a single Commissioner of Transportation, empowered
to examine complaints against steam railways and report to the governor (
Stats. 1877-78, Chap. 641). In 1879, under section 22 of Article XII of the State's newly passed constitution, the California Railroad
Commission (hereafter C.R.C.) was created to replace the Transportation Commissioner. This Commission inherited all the authority
of its predecessor, as well as authority to review long and short haul practices, increases and reductions in rates, and discriminations
in charges. The next year its authority was expanded to include all railroads other than street railroads, and steamboats
in intrastate transportation (
Stats. 1880, Chap. 59).
In 1909, the Wright Act (
Stats. 1909, Chap. 312), endowed the Commission with the power to fix maximum rates. The modern authority and responsibilities of
the Commission were the result of the Railroad Commission Act (
Stats. 1911, Chap. 20), the Public Utilities Act (
Stats. 1911, 1st Ex. Sess., Chap. 14) and Assembly Amendments of 1911, Nos. 6, 47, and 50 (amendments adopted by special election
on October 10, 1911).
In 1911, the newly reformed C.R.C. created four departments to facilitate its operations (Legal, Rates, Statistics and Accounts,
and Engineering). The Rates and Engineering Departments in turn established divisions to deal with particular functions (see
Chart I at end of agency history). In 1917, the C.R.C. was given authority over auto stages and trucks (
Stats. 1917, Chap. 213) and a new department was established to handle this function. In 1935, the Commission's authority was further
expanded to cover highway and city carriers (
Stats. 1935, Chap. 223 and Chap. 312).
The basic structure of the C.R.C. remained unchanged until 1937 when the Commission reorganized itself. The Rates and the
Engineering Departments were eliminated and the divisions which had composed them were divided between the newly created Utilities
and Transportation Departments (see Chart II at end of agency history).
The organization of the Commission has remained unchanged essentially from 1937 to the present. In 1946, by amendment of section22
of Article XII of the State Constitution, the name was changed to the Public Utilities Commission. By a 1953 administrative
action, its departments were re-named divisions and its divisions were re-titled branches.

Formal complaint hearings were governed by the standard rules of courtroom procedure.
Each case is described briefly in a paragraph statement in the biennial reports (
Journal of the Senate and Assembly [1908] Appendix Vol. 4, pp. 48-72, [1910] Appendix Vol. 5, pp. 73-94) and the annual reports of the Railroad Commission (
Reports of the California Railroad Commission, 35 Vols.), for the year in which the formal complaint was filed. Includes a statement of the nature of the case and its current
status at the time the report was printed. Cases listed by case number in ascending order. The Commission published every
few months its opinions and orders (
The Opinions and Orders of the Railroad Commission of California, 42 Vols.). Opinions and orders comprise a description of the decision reached and a discussion of the testimony and evidence
which led the Commission to come to its conclusions. Arranged chronologically in volumes by date on which the decision was
reached. Both the
Reports and the
Opinions and Orders are fully indexed in each volume, both by the name of the individual company involved and by the case number.
Materials arranged in the following categories:
Reports
Scope and Content Note
Originals or copies of opinions (statement of the Commission's position on the issues raised by a case which was a precedent
to be applied to similar cases in the future), orders (requirements carrying the force of law for a utility company to upgrade
services, reduce rates, and/or repay consumers for past overcharges), and dismissals (a brief paragraph explaining the reasons
why a case was dismissed). Identical to reports published in bound volumes of opinions and orders mentioned above, with the
exception that the
unpublished reports contain the names or signatures of those Commission members who were responsible for the decision.
Legal Documents
Scope and Content Note
Contains certain of the following: formal complaints by plaintiff(s) stating the nature of the alleged violation of the Civil
Code or Commission rulings; defendant's answer--reply to the formal complaint arguing the legality of the defendant(s) actions;
notice of motion to dismiss--giving detailed legal arguments by defendant(s) for a dismissal; demurrers (plea for dismissal)
from defendant(s) or defendant(s) council stating legal grounds for dismissal of case; and consent forms from plaintiff(s)
stating that a case could be dropped. Defendant's answers occasionally include copies of articles of incorporation, agreements,
contracts, mortgages, and local ordinances bearing on the case.
Commissioner's Notes
Scope and Content Note
Handwritten notes summarizing the most important testimony and evidence presented in a particular case. Probably used in the
preparation of opinions, they are suggestive of what testimony and evidence most strongly led the Commission to reach its
final decision. These notes exist only in a few cases. They have been preserved only when they are legible and sufficiently
detailed to be of significant research value.
Memoranda
Scope and Content Note
Copies of correspondence sent between Commission members expressing opinions on the nature of a case, and correspondence and
reports from C.R.C. departments explaining the nature and history of a given case, providing technical information, and offering
suggestions as to the decision the Commissioners should reach. Reports emanate most frequently from the Engineering Department
(dealing usually with the condition of equipment, quality of service provided, and safety factors), the Rates Department (involving
the operating expenses of a utility and the legitimacy of rates charged or proposed rates), the Auditor's Department (auditing
company books), and the Stocks and Bonds Department (reporting on the financial state of a utility and the advisability of
allowing further stock and/or bond sales).
Evidence Collected by C.R.C.
Scope and Content Note
Statistical data and narrative reports from C.R.C. departments, and data requested from the defendant(s), complaintant(s),
and other utilities involved in similar operations as those of the defendant(s). Includes data on the income and expenses
of various utilities, confidential lists of stockholders, and narrative descriptions of services provided. Similar to the
type of information available in the exhibits, with the exception that this evidence was not assigned exhibit numbers and
was not made public. It was for the confidential use of the Commission in reaching its decisions.
Correspondence
Scope and Content Note
Contains certain of the following: requests from persons or organizations not directly involved in a case asking for information
on the case, or clarification about the nature of the Commission's decision (often letters received
many years after a case was decided); copies of the C.R.C. secretary's replies; letters from plaintiff(s), defendant(s), or
their lawyers requesting clarification of the legal nature of the case; copies of replies by the Commission's secretary or
Commission members; complaints from the public about services provided by the defendant(s) or about rates charged; petitions
either favorable or unfavorable to the defendant(s); copies of Commission requests for technical information from the defendant(s),
complaintant(s), and/or utilities involved in similar operations to those of the defendant(s); replies providing the information
requested; and descriptions by the defendant(s) after a decision was rendered of what actions were being taken to comply with
the Commission's order(s).
In some cases includes correspondence involving informal complaints which were later incorporated into a formal complaint
case. This correspondence usually comprises a copy of a statement by the Commission explaining the nature of the case, letters
from the public complaining about utility services and/or rates; requests by the Commission for the utility(ies) involved
to reply to the complaint(s) and if possible to reach a mutually acceptable agreement with the complaintant(s); and statements
by utility(ies) to the Commission explaining their position on the complaint(s) and describing what action, if any, they intend
to take.
Transcripts
Scope and Content Note
Includes testimony by witnesses and councils' statements. Comprises testimony of plaintiff(s) as to how they had been treated
in violation of the law or C.R.C. rulings, of utility users other than the complaintant(s) describing typical services provided
and rates charged, of utility officials explaining the legality of their rates and the adequacy of their services, and by
technical experts (such as engineers and auditors) about the nature of services provided and the cost of providing such services.
Statements by Council for the plaintiff and defendant are in some cases placed in a separate volume and in some cases bound
with the witnesses' testimony. They contain a deliniation of the legal positions of the complaintant(s) and defendant(s),
giving statuatory references. Concluding summaries by council of the evidence and testimony provided are also included.
Exhibits
Scope and Content Note
Documents numbered by C.R.C., presented by complaintant(s), defendant(s), intervenors, and the Commission itself in support
of their various positions. Composed largely of statistical data including charts of rates charged for services, distances
between various points goods were transported, rates charged by other utilities (including utilities in other states) for
similar services; income and expenses of utility companies; deeds, agreements, contracts, and ordinances bearing on the case,
cost of construction and maintenance of utilities as well as reproduction costs; maps of railroad lines; drawings of equipment;
and blueprints of dams, buildings (such as railroad stations), and bridges; as well as photographs of equipment in use and
of the construction of dams and railroad lines. (Note: large maps, drawings, diagrams, charts, and blueprints, as well
as photographs have been filed separately. For a more detailed description of these items and references to their locations,
see P.U.C. Map Book.)
Between 1917 and 1920 the exhibit room staff of the C.R.C. composed lists of the exhibits in each case (including a brief
description of each exhibit and its date of submission). Where these lists still exist they have been filed in the first folder
of exhibits in a particular case to act as a table of contents. The exhibits are arranged in the order they appear in the
exhibit list (note: not all exhibits listed still exist).
C.R.C. Engineer's Valuation
Scope and Content Note
Report on the value of all the physical property of a utility, prepared by the Engineering Department. These reports usually
include a map of the utility system, a description of the means by which values were set, a brief corporate history, a summary
of the findings, and an extremely detailed valuation of all the physical property of a utility (including in the case of railroads
the cost of railroad ties and spikes). These reports were the result not only of an investigation of company books, but also
of on site investigations involving, in the case of railroads, travelling along every inch of the line noting all physical
property. These valuations are especially useful in research into the nature and extent of the operations of the state's railroads.
In 1912, the Commission on its own initiative ordered all the state's railroads valued as of that year (see cases 129-213).
In certain complaint cases, C.R.C. Engineer's valuations were numbered as exhibits and are therefore located with the exhibits
rather that filed separately. Such cases are duly noted below.
Note: transcripts and, less frequently, exhibits often relate to more than one case. When this occurs the material is filed
with the case with which it was originally filed by the Commission. Other cases, or applications, to which material relates
are listed immediately after the title of the case with which the material is filed. Such instances are cross indexed.

6. FORMAL APPLICATIONS. 1912-1928.
Physical Description: 37cf.
Scope and Content Note
Selected applications arranged by application number in ascending order. Documents from application proceedings placed in
the following categories in the following order: Commission reports, legal documents, Commissioner's notes, memoranda, evidence
collected by the C.R.C., correspondence, transcripts, exhibits, and C.R.C. valuation reports. Arranged in reverse chronological
order thereunder, unless otherwise stated below.
A formal application is a request for some right by a utility or by a person or corporation seeking to become a utility, such
as an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, an application to increase rates, an application
to build tracks across the right of way of a road or railroad, or an application to issue bonds or sell stock. Unlike formal
complaint cases, there is no complainant or defendant; yet, an applicant may be opposed by a protestant(s) whose interests
conflict with those of the applicant's. A third party, called an intervenor, may become involved--either in support or opposition
to the applicant.
Each application is described briefly in a paragraph statement in the annual reports of the Railroad Commission, which includes
a statement of the nature of the application and its current status at the time the report was printed. The Commission published
every few months its opinions and orders in bound volumes. Opinions and orders comprise a description of the decision reached
and a discussion of the testimony and evidence which led the Commission to come to its conclusions. For full references to
these sources see series entry 5, FORMAL COMPLAINTS, 1908-1932.
A register for formal applications filed between 1912 and 1917 is available in the Selective Archives Record Group (F3566-5).
Volume arranged by application number in ascending order. Lists application number, date application was submitted, name of
utility making application, brief statement of the nature of the application, date when hearing was scheduled, and the date
on which a decision was reached.
Materials arranged in the following categories:
Reports
Scope and Content Note
Originals or copies of opinions (statement of Commission's decision), orders (requirement carrying the force of law for a
utility company to upgrade services, reduce rates, and/or repay consumers for past overcharges), and dismissals (a brief declaration
stating that an application had been withdrawn. Identical to reports published in bound volumes
of opinions and orders mentioned above, with the exception that the unpublished reports contain the names or signatures of
those Commission members who were responsible for the decision.
Legal Documents
Scope and Content Note
Contains certain of the following: applications to change rates, to issue stocks and/or bonds, to purchase a utility, for
a certificate of public convenience and necessity, or to construct tracks over the right of way of a road or railroad (note:
often exhibits required by the Commission to be included with an application were attached to the application itself and are
therefore filed with the legal documents - these can include the following: articles of incorporation, maps of crossings,
agreements, deeds, and descriptions of proposed stock and/or bond issuances - such instances are duly noted below). Also contained
in this category are objections from the public, municipalities, or other businesses to the proposed application; replies
from the applicant to objections; and petitions from the applicant to formally drop the application.
Commissioner's Notes
Scope and Content Note
Handwritten notes summarizing the most important testimony and evidence presented in a particular application proceeding.
Probably used in the preparation of opinions, they are suggestive of what testimony and evidence most strongly led the Commission
to reach its final decision. These notes exist only for a few applications. They have been preserved only when they are legible
and sufficiently detailed to be of significant research value.
Memoranda
Scope and Content Note
Copies of correspondence sent between Commission members expressing opinions on the nature of an application, and correspondence
and reports from C.R.C. departments explaining the nature and history of a given application, providing technical information,
and offering suggestions as to the decision the Commissioners should reach. Reports emamate most frequently from the Engineering
Department (dealing usually with the condition of equipment, quality of service provided, and safety factors), the Rates Department
(involving the operating expenses of a utility and the legitimacy of rates charged or proposed rates), the Auditor's Department
(auditing company books), and the Stocks and Bonds Department (reporting on the financial state of a utility and the advisability
of allowing further stock and/or bond sales).
Evidence Collected by C.R.C.
Scope and Content Note
Statistical data and narrative reports from C.R.C. departments, and data requested from the applicant(s), protestant(s), and
other utilities involved in similar operations to those of the applicant(s). Includes data on the income and expenses of various
utilities, confidential lists of stockholders, and narrative descriptions of services provided. Similar to the type of information
available in the exhibits, with the exception that this evidence was not assigned exhibit numbers and was not made public.
It was for the confidential use of the Commission in reaching its decision.
Correspondence
Scope and Content Note
Contains certain of the following: requests from persons or organizations not directly involved in an application proceeding
asking for information on the application, or clarification about the nature of the Commission's decision (often letters received
many years after a decision was handed down; copies of C.R.C. Secretary's replies; letters from applicant(s) and/or protestant(s)
requesting clarification of the legal nature of the formal application proceedings; copies of replies by the Commission Secretary
or Commission members; letters from the public either opposing or supporting an application and often expressing complaints
about utility services and rates; petitions either favorable or unfavorable to the application; copies of Commission requests
for technical information from the applicant(s), protestant(s), and/or utilities involved in similar operations to those of
the applicant(s); and replies providing the information requested.
Transcripts
Scope and Content Note
Includes testimony of witnesses and councils' statements. Comprises testimony by applicant(s) as to the justification for
a change in tariff rates, the necessity of stocks and/or bond issuances, or the need for the construction of a crossing; of
protestant(s) expressing reasons for opposing the application; and of technical experts (such as engineers and auditors) about
the nature and cost of services provided, the financial condition of the utility, and the safety of proposed crossing(s).
Exhibits
Scope and Content Note
Documents numbered by C.R.C., presented by applicant(s), protestant(s), intervenor(s), and the Commission in support of their
various positions. In rate applications usually comprises statistical data including charts of existing and proposed rates,
distances between which goods are transported, the rates of similar utilities providing similar services, and income and expenses
of utilities, the cost of construction and maintenance, valuations, deeds, agreements, contracts, and local ordinances dealing
with utilities. Application to purchase utilities and/or to issue stocks and/or bonds frequently include valuations, data
on projected income and expenses, mortgages (existing and proposed), lists of stockholders, data on proposed financing of
purchase or of issuance of stocks and/or bonds, deeds, agreements, contracts, and local ordinances. Applications for crossing(s)
usually contain maps, profiles, and diagrams of proposed crossing(s) and diagrams or plans of proposed signalling devices.
All applications may contain maps and profiles of railroad lines, water canals, transmission lines, telephone lines, and oil
and gas pipelines; drawings of equipment; and blueprints of dams, buildings (such as railroad stations), and bridges; as well
as photographs of the construction of transmission poles and the
construction and operation of dams and railroad lines. (Note: oversized maps, drawings, diagrams, charts, and blueprints,
as well as photographs have been filed separately. For locations and for more complete descriptions of these items see P.U.C.
Map Book.)
Between 1917 and 1920, the exhibit room staff of the C.R.C. composed lists of the exhibits in each application proceeding
(including a brief description of each exhibit and its date of submission). Where these lists still exist they have been filed
in the first folder of exhibits in a particular application to act as a table of contents. The exhibits are arranged in the
order they appear in the exhibit list. (Note: not all exhibits listed still exist.)
C.R.C. Engineer's Valuation
Scope and Content Note
Report on the value of all the physical property of a utility, prepared by the Engineering Department. These reports usually
include a map of the utility system, a description of the means by which values were set, a brief corporate history, a summary
of the findings, and an extremely detailed valuation of all the physical property of a utility (including in the case of railroads
the cost of railroad ties and spikes). These reports were the results not only of an investigation of company books, but also
of on site investigations involving, in the case of railroads, traveling along every inch of the line noting all physical
property. Valuations were extremely important in applications involving tariff rate changes and the sale of utilities. The
Commission's ability to reach an equitable decision was based on its ability to precisely judge the financial condition of
the utility it was dealing with.
In certain application proceedings C.R.C. valuations were numbered as exhibits and are therefore located with the exhibits,
rather than filed separately. Such cases are duly noted below.
For further C.R.C. valuations see series entry 13, P.U.C. VALUATIONS, 1910-1926. Also see series entry 14, VALUATIONS FILED
BY UTILITIES, 1930-1931.
Note: transcripts and, less frequently, exhibits can relate to more than one application. When this occurs the material is

Physical Description: 7cf.
Scope and Content Note
Arranged by special study number in ascending order. Materials composing a special study arranged in the following order:
reports placed first, followed by correspondence (including memoranda), arranged in reverse chronological order thereunder.
Investigations carried out by the Utilities Division in connection with informal complaint, formal complaint, and formal application
proceedings; to obtain information on general financial conditions affecting utilities (such as taxation and business depressions);
and to examine existing and estimated future gas and electric output within the State and the ability of utilities to meet
projected future demands. Of special importance were investigations into the operation of utilities. Before the 1930's, the
Commission instituted on its own motion formal complaint proceedings to investigate the rate practices of specific utilities.
In the 1930's, finding this practice too time consuming (a formal complaint proceeding often took several years), the Utilities
Division began to institute periodic investigations into the operation of specific utility companies, frequently with the
assistance of the Finance and Accounting Division. When rates were found to be too high, the findings of these investigations
were used as the basis for informal negotiations with the companies for a reduction in rates.
During World War II the Division instituted numerous studies on behalf of federal agencies dealing with the production and
rationing of natural gas and electricity, the use of communications systems, the security of utility installations, and the
ability of utilities to respond to Civil Defense emergencies.
Materials comprising special studies arranged into following categories:
Reports
Scope and Content Note
Composed of conclusions of staff members of Division on areas of investigation assigned to them for study, final reports by
Division itself submitted to the Commission, and reports and other narrative statements received from utility companies or
collected by the Division from sources outside the C.R.C. dealing with the subject under investigation.
Transcripts
Scope and Content Note
Copies of testimony of hearings held to question utility executives as to the nature of the operation, the financial condition,
the fairness of rates, and the levels of production of utilities; and to receive complaints and/or suggestions from local
elected officials and from the public about the quality of utility services and the acceptability of rates charged or proposed
to be charged.
Correspondence
Scope and Content Note

- including copies of letters from the Division requesting information from utilities on their operations, financial condition,
levels of production, and reserves; replies by utilities; communications (during World War II) from Federal agencies requesting
information on the condition of utilities, their production levels, and their security efforts; replies by the Division providing
information requested by Federal agencies; and frequently a closing letter written by a Division staff member explaining how
a Special Study was ended and what conclusions were reached.
Note: blue summary sheets exist for certain Special Studies listing the title of the investigation, its inclusive dates, whatever
reports were generated, and what actions were taken by the Commission, if any. When such sheets exist they are placed in the
first folder of the Special Study to which they relate.
