FRANCHISE TAX CASE
State Commission Holds That
Board of Review in Counties
Lacks Jurisdiction.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 24.-The
state board of tax commissioners Fri
day decided that it had taken the Chi
cago, South Bend & Northern Indiana
franchises in South Bend and Misha-
waka into consideration when it
placed corporate value on the property
OF the road, and that the st. Joseph
county board of review was without
Jurisdiction in assessing franchises

This is the outcome of the appeal
argued before the board Thursday in
which L K. Parks. arguing for Mish-

the decision had been "doped"
After a fight between the board of

two cities, a valuation of $10O. 900 was
placed on the street railway fran

appealed.
The outcome is a decided victory
for the utilities, and turns into the

QUESTION BOARDS
POWER IN HEAT
FRANCHISE CASE
Young Mems Chamber of CON-
merCe Committee in Letter
to City Officials Raises Legal
Question About Grant.
PROPOSE A SWEEPING
ANTI SMOKE ORDINANCE

Raising the question as to the au-
thority of the board of public works
TO grant a franchise to the Indiana 4
Michigan Electric Co. to lay pipes
through the streets Of South Bend
for steam heating the Oliver hotel,
the committee appointed from the
Young Mems Chamber of Commerce
today presented a letter to r. NJ
Morris, president of the board Of
works making certain recommenda-
tions regarding the granting of the
franchise
According to the inference Of the
letter the committee of the Young
Mems Chamber Of Commerce be-
lieves that steam heating would
eliminate in a great degree the
smoke nuisance but the basis for the
question raised regarding the legal
ity of granting of the proposed fran
chise is the public utilities statute
which fixes q distinction between "A
public and private utility. The COM
mittee asks if it has been ascertained
whether the proposed franchise
would be for private or public use.
Should BE for Public Use.
1t is cOntended by the committee
that the franchise should be granted
for public use and should not be con
private institution exclusively. Tn
der the statutes tie committee claims
that the board Of works does not
have the power to permit the streets
TO be torn up or ripped unless il be
for a public benefit
The letter which is addressed to
Pres. Morris of the board Of works
follows in part.
There should be q careful con-
N 4
optional purchase contract now sub
mitted by the Indiana & Michigan
Electric Co. from the point OF view
of the public utilities act of 1913.
That while the contract between the
Oliver hotel and the proposed heat
ing company is private. Yet il is
serving the public purpose OF heat
ing the invited public at the hotel
Must the contract not necessarily be
a public contract? Has the board of
public works power to grant the use
Of the public streets which are own
ed by the abutting land owners for
any other than public purpose .
We believe there is no such power
vested in the board to use the streets
for private purpose, and If the board
has the power 10 grant such a CON
tract il must be a public utility con-
tract.
How Does law Apply?
do these considerations bring the
license 10 use the public streets
which the city is now asked TO give
within the strict terms OF the act re-
ferred TO and constitute a "transmis-
sion, delivery or furnishing OF heat
either directly or indirectly TO
or for the public? i SO. then the
license IS subject TO some Of the most
dangerous provisions OF the act
Sections 81. 9S, 100 and the provisO
OF section 10. II il be so subject to
the public utilities act. before grant
ing such a license the sense Of the
interested citizens Of South Bend
should be ascertained before the
granting OF a franchise for the use
OF their streets.
