Reversing 105 Wis.2d 762, 318 N.W.2d 22 (Ct App).

STEINMETZ, J.

The issue in this case is whether the Public Service Commission accounting order of March 2, 1979, in Docket CA-5491, which effectively forced utility shareholders to bear reasonable and prudent expenditures, is arbitrary and capricious.

This action is a petition for review under sec. 227.15, Stats.,1 of a Public Service Commission (PSC) order.
