Sec. 77. No public utility shall issue any stock or certificate of stock, except in consideration of money or of labor or property at its current fair cash value as found and determined by the commission actually received by it. No stock or certificate of stock shall be sold at a discount or premium without the approval of the commission and if sold at a discount, the commission shall make a record thereof and give such publicity of the facts as it may deem necessary at the expense of the utility. No public utility shall issue any bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness except for money or labor or property estimated at its current fair cash value as found and determined by the commission actually received by it equal to a sum to be approved by the commission not less than seventy-five (75) per cent of the face value thereof. The amount of bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness which any public utility may issue shall be reasonable in aggregate amount, due consideration being given to the nature of the business in which the corporation is engaged, its credit, future prospects, and earnings, and the effect which such issue may have upon the management and efficient operation of the public utility.
