Description
This is an original proceeding in the nature of certiorari. The respondent, Public Service Company of Colorado, to which we hereinafter refer as Company, filed petition in the district court in condemnation of certain lands adjacent to its La Combe plant and belonging to complainants here, and whom we will designate as the "owners." It is said that increased consumption of electrical current requires the enlargement of the La Combe generating plant, and that in order to construct a larger plant and install the additional generating units needed upon lands now owned by the Company, it is essential that they remove their machine shop to another location. Additional land further is needed to enable the Company to store a supply of coal to insure continuous operation. Being unable to agree with the owners upon a price for the purchase of their lands, the Company filed the condemnation action. It later added to the original petition an amendment alleging itself to be, in addition to a generator of electrical energy, a producer of steam for the heating of many buildings in the principal business section of Denver and which it caused to be conveyed to its point of use by pipe line. The Company then filed and served notice of hearing upon its petition for an order from the district court granting to it the temporary right to immediate occupancy and use of the lands involved.
