General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

New York & Queens Gas Company v. McCall No. 407 Argued November 6, 7, 1917 Decided December 10, 1917 245 U.S. 345
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
An order of a state public service commission requiring a city gas company to extend its mains and service pipes to meet the reasonable needs of a growing community within the city cannot be deemed arbitrary or capricious, and so contrary to the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, where it appears that the company was accorded full hearing before the commission and, on review, in the state courts, that it is the only one authorized to serve the community in question with gas, and that the rate of return upon the cost of the extension, though low initially from 2 1/4% to 4% per annum, will probably soon become ample with the growth of the community, and where, moreover, the record does not how, and the company does not claim, that the comparatively small loss asserted would render its business as a whole unprofitable.
171 App.Div. 580, 219 N.Y. 84, 681, affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
