Strana 312 - Depreciation" means the loss in service value not restored by current maintenance, and incurred in connection with the consumption or prospective retirement of physical property in the course of service from causes against which the carrier Is not protected by insurance, which are known to be in current operation, and whose effect can be forecast with a reasonable approach to accuracy.
Strana 364 - The cost of reproduction is one way of ascertaining the present value of a plant like that of a water company, but that test would lead to obviously incorrect results, if the cost of reproduction is not diminished by the depreciation which has come from age and use.

It would seem to be inevitable that in many parts of the plant there should be such depreciation, as, for example, in old structures and equipment remaining on hand. And when an estimate of value is made on the basis of reproduction new, the extent of existing depreciation should be shown and deducted.
Strana 355 - NOTE A. — A comprehensive statement of the estimated amount necessary to reconstruct a road in accordance with the above provision shall be made to the Commission as soon as the estimate is made. NOTE B.— When the work of reconstruction of road purchased...
Strana 268 - ' as applied to depreciable property, means the loss in service value (see definition 35) not restored by current maintenance, incurred in connection with the consumption or prospective retirement of property in the course of service from causes against which the carrier is not protected by insurance, which are known to be in current operation.
