Gentlemen:

In connection with the transaction proposed and described in the
Application or Declaration on Form U-1 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Appalachian Power Company and its above-
named subsidiary, to which this opinion is an exhibit, I have

adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Applicants or Declarants
authorizing the transactions described in said Application or
Declaration, and the Application to the State Corporation
Commission of Virginia ("VSCC") and Petition to the Public Service
Commission of West Virginia ("WVPSC").

In my opinion, if the Application or Declaration is granted and
permitted to become effective; if all of the actions proposed to be
taken by the Boards of Directors of the Applicants or Declarants
are taken; if Orders are received from the VSCC and the WVPSC; and
if all of the proposed transactions are consummated in accordance

          (b)  the Applicants or Declarants may lawfully sell such
     facilities as have been described in the Application or

     therewith, acquire the promissory note of the purchaser and
     agree to indemnify and hold harmless the purchaser with
     respect to certain contingent liabilities; and

          (c)  the consummation of the proposed transactions will
     not violate the legal rights of the holders of any securities
     issued by the Applicants or Declarants, or any associate
     company.

I consent to the use of this opinion as part of the above-mentioned
