TELEPHONE CASE.
Grant for Use of Streets Was
a License Revocable by
Council.

Frankfort. KY, Jan. Is. The
Court ofAppeals reversed judgment
of the Franklin Circuit Court in the
case Of the East Tennessee Telephone
Company against the city Of Frank
fort, in which the lower court sus-
tanned prosecution of the company
for alleged operation without fran
chise.
The court here says that the right
TO use the streets Of the city grant
ed in 1881 was not franchise, but
merely license which the Council
can revoke on ninety days notice,
and then adopt an ordinance pre-
venting operation without having
first secured a franchise so to do.
