Text

Whereas the telephone system of this country is
a nationwide interconnected and interrelated system, no part of which
may be suspended without seriously and adversely affecting the whole,
and whereas the continuous operation of such communications system
is essential to the operation of the economic life of the country and is
necessary to prevent extreme hardship, now, therefore, it is legislatively
determined that the remedy of suspension or revocation of the permit
of a telephone company for violation of law or the rules or orders of
lawful authority is wholly inadequate and that additional remedy
therefor is necessary and proper and that the intrinsic nature of the
telephone business justifies such additional remedy for such industry.
Formerly: Acts 1947, c.270, s.1.
