CO. tig $11$ I r"ri ii m i m I -- - j tLUAWI UlvIA 1 MIHIIUWOLO HI l L II TWO COMPANIES JOSEPH COUNCIL GRANTS YEAR PERMITS FOR LIGHT AND POWER. 30 Joseph, March 12. At the special meeting of the council Thursday night, the mayor's veto of the Wal lowa Lake Light & Power company's franchise was sustained, but an ordi nance amended to meet most of the mayor's objections was introduced. An ordinance identical in Its' provls Ions granting the F. D. McCully com pany a 30 year franchise was also I I ti t d 1 1 i ,1 n.u i ' read twice and referred to the light committee. The committee reported favorably with minor amendments. As amended both were read the third time and passed by the full vote, six members, of the council. The amended franchise of George W. Hamilton and J. D. Walck, which is identical with the others, was read twice and referred. The coun ell adjourned until next Monday night. These franchises give the grantees full rights to conduct light and power systems run by electricity for 10 years. The wires must be strung not less than 25 feet above the ground. The new companies must commence the installation of their systems within six months, and Mr. McCully must install an ew dynamo within the same time. Written ac ceptances must be filed within 30 days by each. Maximum rates are provided In each for 16, 32 and 50 candle .power Incandescent lights, and a maximum rate of $6 per month is fixed for arc lights. The city retains consid erable control over the placing of poles, conduits and wires. The or dinances take effect in 30 days af ter passage and aproval by the nayor; hence the referendum is at the disposal of the people in connec tion with the franchise. Following Is the full text of Mayor F. F. McCully's veto of the first fran chise granted the W, L. L. & P. Co.: "Gentlemen; I herewith return to you Ordinance No, , Series, 1909, ;ranting a thiity yeir franchise to the Wallowa Lake Light & Power Co., without my signature or approva for the following reasons: 'The ordinance does not contain he "enacting clause'' as required by Section seventy .two (page 13) of he city charter. Therefore, I con- ilder the same 1 legal. "I am of the opinio.i that the con struction of the city water system and the pipe line of the Wallowa Lake Ight & Power Co. will necessitate the crossing over or the tunneling under of one or the other of the Im provements, and I think the same should be satisfactorily adjusted before, said franchise be granted. "Mutual agreements concerning the erection of po'es on Main street mould be Inserted In the franchise. "Maximum rates should be stated and regularly Inserted In said fran chise, The corporation should be requir ed to file a wri tsn 'acceptance oi he conditions of the franchise wlth- thirty days of the date of the final passage of the ordinance grant ing the franchse," M. D.
