http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/190630496

The Montana Public Service Commission, and its predecessor the Montana Board of Railroad Commissioners, had the responsibility of regulating transportation companies and public utilities in Montana. These records consist primarily of annual reports by the electric, gas, heating, water, telegraph, telephone, and oil pipeline utilities. These records consist predominantly of annual reports (1914-1974) made by electric utility companies, gas companies, heating utility companies, water companies, telegraph companies, telephone companies, and pipeline companies to the Montana Public Service Commission. The reports include a vast amount of data on the history, financing, corporate ownership, physical plants, and production. Many of the reports are accompanied by rate schedules and regulations. Some of the reports are copies of the reports made to the Federal Power Commission and do not directly reflect their Montana operations In addition there are accident reports (1957-1966) for electric, gas, and telephone utilities; appraisal reports (1919-1927) for several electric utilities; and other reports (1922-1953) for several water companies.
