Hutchinson Light Case Argued in U.
S.~Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. IA suit from
Kansas involving the question as to
whether a municipality can grant an
exclusive franchise was argued in the
supreme court. This is the first time
the point has been brought up square
ly for decision in the court of last re-
sort. The case was brought by the
Water, Light and Gas company of
Hutchinson, Kan, against the city of
Hutchinson to restrain the Peoples
Light and Power company from car
rying out the terms of a new ordi-
nance. The Water. Light and Gas
company is the old company and in
1897 received an exclusive franchise
for twenty years to furnish water,
light and gas to the city. 1t claims to
have paid a consideration for this ex-
elusive franchise.
In 1906 the city granted a new light
franchise to the Peoples Light and
Power company and 1t is proceeding
to light the streets as we'll as to fur
nish private consumers with light. To
preent this from continuing the suit
was brought The appeal is from the
decision of Judge Pollock of the Kan
sas federal court. Judge Pollock
found that the city was without any
authority to grant an exclusive fran
chise and the old company appealed.
