It must serve all without favor. Any man, woman, or child who complies with such reasonable regulations as may be made by public service companies in the interest of con- venience, health and safety, is entitled to serv- ice‘without discrimination. 2. Its charges must be without favor. That is for identical service, a public utility must charge identical sums. Concessions may be made to large customers for large sales, but the scale of reduced prices must be the same for all. Concessions cannot be made to exclusive patrons, as against those who divide their pat- ronage, nor to special kinds of business when the service rendered is the same. Rates may differ where the services rendered involve dif- ferent costs. 3. Its service must be adequate. A private business may sell inferior goods, and may charge for them prices beyond their }} value. The purchaser, who is not compelled to buy, must assume the risk of his purchase. But a public utility, serving people who must pur- chase its product, must meet “reasonable stand- sords of efficiency or quality” set forth by order of the Utilities Commission. For example, a gas company must not sell a grade of gas inferior to certain prescribed standards. Electricity must be supplied continuously and in stipulated quantities. 2) Natrona Power Co.
