1Opinion of the Court

CALOGERO, Justice.*

The Louisiana Public Service Commission appeals a judgment of the Nineteenth Judicial District Court in favor of Lafourche Telephone Company, Incorporated (LATEL-CO). The commission had denied LATEL-CO a rate increase. The district court reversed that order and approved the increase (and the rates) proposed by LATELCO.1 For reasons to be expressed hereafter we vacate the judgment of the district court and remand the matter to the Public Service Commission for additional proceedings.

LATELCO is a small, independent telephone company (i. e. not affiliated with the Bell system)…
