Hav ing been so qualified, the real estate holdings of the Las Vegas Land and Water Company in Nevada could be transf erred to the Union Land Company. Section 6115 cited by you appears to relate to concentration, commodity, transit and other special con­tract rates, all with respect to "shippers". As stated by you, this section applies to transportation and I do not be­lieve a Public Service Commission would so construe it as to permit a special contract rate of a public utility to sell its product to the Railroad Company at cost, whether it be water or any other utility service. This section has never been interpreted by the Commission or the Courts. However, If orb eltiheev eR aiilt rwooaudl dC onmopta nbye ati ntceosrtp,r etiend vitoe w apofp lyS ectot iwoant e6lrl ljr.a.tes The intent of that section would not permit a special rate wtio thbe otghievre n ctoon suomneer sc laosfs dioff fecroennstu mecrl asast esc opsta yionr g bea lhoiwg hceorst pro rata rate than their share in order to permit a utili ty to serve one class of consumer at cost.
