The supreme court of the state this
morning refused to grant the applica-
ton of the corporations for a stay of
proceedings in the charter amend
ment proceedings.
Judge Gordon represented w. w.
Hindman and the people and r. ].
Danson appeared for the Pacific
States Telephone company. The city
was not represented.
The supreme court ruled that the
question had already been passed
upon and that Judge Kennans de-
cision would again be sustained. This
effectually disposes of the opposition
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany. the gas companies and the old
telephone company to the plan of the
people to decide as to franchises.
The great fight over the franchise
referendum is practically ended ex-
cept the voting of the people for the
proposed charter amendment.
All of the tricks. the wiles, the
subterfuges and the corrupting by the
corporations holding city franchises
has gone for naught. The swaying
of councilmen and the handling OF
officials have been of no avail and
the charter amendment must now be
submitted to the people.
1t has been sensational fight.
Not the least sensational was the
action Of Attorney w. w. Hindman
