TRANSMISSION LINE APPLICATIONS AND PERMITS, ACT OF FEB-

 original stipulation. Such amendatory permits, as well as permits 

 for transmission lines for temporary construction purposes, and per- 

 mits to municipalities for municipal purposes will be issued without

 Regulation L-9, consist of tracings and field notes of survey, both 

 in the form and with affidavits and certificates required for such lines 

 when a part of a final power application. (See Reg. L-ll.)
