TOWN FRANCHISE
New Castle Council Thinks
Power Company Should Pay
Tax on Poles

NEW CASTLE, Feb City Coun-
ell last night took q stand against free
franchises for corporations that NAV
want to use the town streets The SEN
timent followed a request by the Amer
ican Power Company for permission
to erect poles on the streets so that
the Delaware Water Improvement
Company may supply it with power to
light Delaware City and Fort dupont.
T. Bayard Heisel appeared before
City Council representing the American
Power Co. He said the company should
pay what is paid in other cities in re-
turn for its franchise.
Mr. Whalen said: II believe we
should get s. a pole and at least 1--WE
arc light. The company should give
fair return for the franchise. When
the buildings Of the National Tube
Company are razed something else out
side Of real estate must help to pay
the taxes"
Mr.. Stoops expressed his opinion
that no more free franchises should be
doled out by the city.
President Rothwen favored treating
the company fair but said he is op-
posed to free franchises. Corporations
have gotten too much now" he said,
land this company ought to pay what
Is right"
Mr.. Whalen felt that tax should be
levied on all poles. He said he had
put up little kitchen on his property
and the assessor raised his assess
ment $500.
Mr.. Cannon said: THE city has been
too lenient. Telegraph. telephone and
trolley poles are everywhere. They
put them where they please and no con
sent Of the property owner is asked.
Every pole in the city should be taxed.
He moved that the matter be referred
to the committees on Water and Light
and Streets to confer with the repre-
sentatives of the American Power
Company This was done.
City Council instructed the Good
