ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION
     Columbus Southern Power Company ("CSPCo"), an electric
utility subsidiary of American Electric Power Company, Inc., a
registered holding company, and CSPCo's subsidiary, Simco Inc.
("Simco"), have filed this Application or Declaration under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the "1935 Act") for
authorization for Simco to return excess capital to CSPCo through
declaration of dividends on its Common Shares out of paid-in
capital surplus.  CSPCo and Simco are hereinafter jointly
referred to as "Applicants".
     A.   Background
     The Commission by its order dated June 5, 1987 (HCAR No.
24405) authorized the acquisition of a certain promissory note
(the "Note") from Peabody Coal Company ("Peabody") by CSPCo in
connection with the sale of certain real property interests and
fixed assets to Peabody.  This transaction was set forth in
detail in the Application or Declaration on Form U-1 filed with
the Commission (File No. 70-7386).  As a result of this
transaction, the coal mining activities of Simco were transferred
and substantially all of its business operations were
discontinued.
     The Commission by its order dated October 19, 1990 (HCAR No.
25174) in File No. 70-7713 authorized Simco to reduce the par
value of its authorized shares of Common Stock to $0.10 per
share, to reduce the stated capital of its common stock from
$9,000,000 to $9,000 and to declare and pay to CSPCo dividends
out of paid-in capital up to an aggregate of $4,500,000.  These
actions have been carried out in accordance with the order.
     Simco is a party to a certain Beltline Agreement dated May
1, 1991 with Conesville Coal Preparation Company, an Ohio
corporation and a subsidiary of CSPCo ("Conesville"), whereby
Conesville has a nonexclusive right to the use of a coal conveyor
beltline.  Under the terms of the Beltline Agreement, Conesville
pays a usage charge for the use of the beltline, currently in the
amount of approximately $38,000 per month, for a period extending
at least until January 1, 2017.
     B.   Proposed Transaction
     As a result of the above-described transactions and the
cessation of all other business by Simco, Simco has cash in
excess of its foreseeable capital requirements.  Simco currently
has outstanding 90,000 shares of its common shares, par value
$.10 per share.  As of June 30, 1994, Simco had retained earnings
of $111,338, paid-in capital of $740,000, a stated capital of
$9,000 and cash and temporary investments of $355,479.
     Monthly usage charges under the Beltline Agreement will
continue for approximately twenty-two (22) years.  This amount
together with the current capital of Simco is far in excess of
any foreseeable capital needs.  Therefore, it is proposed that
excess capital in an amount not to exceed $500,000 be distributed
to CSPCo.
     Therefore, Simco seeks authorization to declare and pay to
CSPCo dividends out of paid-in capital periodically until the
amount of such dividends equals $500,000.
ITEM 2.   FEES, COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES.
     No fees, commissions or expenses, other than the
Commission's filing fee of $2,000 and expenses estimated not to
exceed $1,000 to be billed at cost by American Electric Power
Service Corporation, are to be paid or incurred by Applications
or any associate company in connection with the proposed
transaction.
ITEM 3.   APPLICABLE STATUTORY PROVISIONS.
     The Applicants consider Section 12(c) of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935 and Rule 46 thereunder to be
applicable to the proposed dividends.
ITEM 4.   REGULATORY APPROVAL.
     No commission other than the Securities and Exchange
Commission has jurisdiction over the proposed transaction.
ITEM 5.   PROCEDURE.
     It is requested, pursuant to Rule 23(c) of the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission, that the Commission's order
granting, and permitting to become effective this Application or
Declaration be issued on or before September 15, 1994. 
Applicants waive any recommended decision by a hearing officer or
by any other responsible officer of the Commission and waive the
30-day waiting period between the issuance of the Commission's
order and the date it is to become effective, since it is desired
that the Commission's order, when issued, become effective
forthwith.  The Applicants consent to the Office of Public
Utility Regulation assisting in the preparation of the
Commission's decision and/or order in this matter, unless the
Office opposes the matter covered by this Application or
Declaration.
     It is further requested, pursuant to Rule 24(a) of the Rules
and Regulations of the Commission, that pursuant to Rule 24
certificates of notification be filed annually by Simco with
respect to the declaration and payment of dividends on its Common
Shares out of paid-in capital surplus.
ITEM 6.   EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
     The following exhibits and financial statements are filed as
part of this statement:
     (a)  Exhibits.
               Exhibit A      None.
               Exhibit B      Copy of proposed form of
                              resolutions to be adopted by Board
                              of Directors of Simco.
               Exhibit C      None.
               Exhibit D      None.
               Exhibit E      None.
               Exhibit F      Opinion of Counsel.
               Exhibit G      Proposed form of Notice.
     (b)  Financial Statements:
     Balance Sheets as of June 30, 1994 and Statements of Income
and Retained Earnings for the 12 months ended June 30, 1994, of
Simco, CSPCo, and American Electric Power Company, Inc. and its
subsidiaries consolidated, together with journal entries
reflecting the proposed transaction.
     ITEM 7.   INFORMATION AS TO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS.
     It is believed that the granting and permitting to become
effective of this Application or Declaration will not constitute
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.  No other federal agency has prepared or is
preparing an environmental impact statement with respect to the
proposed transaction.

                            SIGNATURE
          Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, the undersigned companies have duly
caused this statement to be signed on their behalf by the under-
signed thereunto duly authorized.

                        Proposed Form of
                        Resolutions to be
                     Adopted by the Board of
                          Directors of
                           Simco, Inc.


          The Chairman reminded the Board that the Company,
having disposed of substantially all of its assets, was no longer
engaged in active operations.  The Chairman stated that, in his
opinion, it was no longer necessary to retain ___________________
of capital surplus due to the curtailment of the Company's
activities.  The Chairman stated that the Company had made
application to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 to declare and pay
dividends, in the aggregate amount of $500,000, out of paid-in
capital surplus to the holders of its Common Stock and had
received such authorization by order of that Commission, dated
(____________ ___, 1994) (Release No. 35-________).  Accordingly,
the Chairman recommended a distribution of the capital surplus of
the Company.

          Thereupon, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously

               RESOLVED, that a distribution of ____________
          _________________ Dollars ($___________) per share
          on the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the
          Company be, and the same hereby is, declared out
          of the capital surplus of the Company, payable to
          the holders of the said shares of record on the
          books of the Company at the close of business this
          day; and further

               RESOLVED, that pursuant to the requirements
          of Section 1701.33 of the Ohio General Corporation
          Act, such distribution, when made, shall be
          identified as a distribution from capital surplus
          and the amount per share shall be disclosed to the
          shareholders receiving the same concurrently with
          the distribution thereof; and further

               RESOLVED, that, in connection with such
          distribution, the actions taken by the officers of
          and counsel for the Company in connection with the
          execution and filing of an Application -
          Declaration on Form U-1 with the Securities and
          Exchange Commission pursuant to the applicable
          provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company
          Act of 1935, be, and the same hereby are,
          ratified, confirmed and approved in all respects,
          and said officers and counsel be, and they hereby
          are, authorized and directed to take such further
          action in connection therewith as they may deem
          necessary or desirable.
