interesting questions are involved in
the case Of the city of Philadelphia
against the Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
graph Company, heard by Judge Nc
Pberson and a jury
The SHIT was brought to recover S3715
license fees for poles and wires used by
the company within the city limits. An
ordinance Of councils passed in 1888,
provided that, where wires were hung
by telegraph and telephone companies
upon poles belonging to the city, Ii
cense fee or rental of 81 per pole should
be collected annually. 1t also provided
for the collection of $3.50 for each mile
of wire used The company failed to
pay these fees from 1885 to 1891, and
suit was brought by the city to collect
the amount alleged to be due.
The defense was that, while the city
did not attempt to levy the amounts
as taxes, yet the fees charged were ten
times as great as the cost to the city
of supervision within It's limits, and the
fees, therefore, constituted a tax. This,
the company commended, the city could
not legally impose, since the telegraph
lines are used as the means for inter-
state commerce, sole power to regulate
which is lodged by the federal constitu-
ton in congress.
In reply, it was argued, on behalf of
the city, that the fees We're not excess
sive, and that the municipality had the
right to make an extra charge for over
head wires, in order to induce the COM
pany to place them underground, there
by promoting public welfare and safety.
