OPINIÓN
NIX, Justice.
These two appeals present this Court with the troublesome issue of the correct standard to be employed by the Public Utility Commission (PUC) in fulfilling its legislative mandate to “ascertain and fix the fair value of the whole or any part of the property of any public utility.” Act of May *33128,1937, P.L. 1053, art. Ill, § 311, 66 P.S. § 1151 (1958)1 (the Act). For the reasons that follow, we are of the view that the PUC was correct in its determination and that its orders should not have been disturbed. Accordingly, we reverse the orders of the Commonwealth Court below.
