TELEPH01'E FRANCHISEI The city attorney reported on the status of the matter of
a franchise of the Telephone company, citing the case of the city of Turlock, California,
which is similar to the one in this city. The case of Turlock has been tried in the
Superior Court, and the city was defeated, but the case has been appealed to the Supreme
Court,"upon permission of the Attorney General of the State. In the discussion, upon
motion by Mr. Shaw, seconded by Mr. Wentworth, it was decided that the application for
a franchise from The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, received for file by the
city on April 2, 192J, be rejected, for the reason, among others, that the franchise
sought by the company, does not provide for the payment of 2% of the gross annual receipts
to take effect upon the granting of the franchise, as the Board of Trustees understands
Section 3, of Aot 1229, of the General Laws, to mean. Also, the authority given the
company to continue the use of the streets of the city without a franchise, in letter
dated April 3,1924, is hereby rescinded, and the provisions of Ordinance No. 23,
