The findings OF Judge Sloan, special
master in the case of the Iowa Tele-
1 phone Company against the city of.
Keokuk. arrived by express thi, after
noon and were filed by Frank VAIL
gren, deputy clerk. Accompanying
the preliminary report which was full
~ covered in The Gate City, Decem-
Der 81, Judge Sloan sends a supple
{ mentary report, ruling on the argu.
ments which were presented to him
last Friday.
Judge Sloan holds that the tele-
phone company has a perpetual fran.
chise providing 1t was occupying the
streets and alleys OF Keokuk prior to
1897. He also holds that the cities un.
der the commission plan OF govern
ment have no power through the In.
itiative to regulate telephone service
Judge Sloan recommends the issu-
ance OF decree enjoining the enforce.
ment OF Ordinance No. 423 which the
city passed and which seeks to regu
late the rates which shall be charged
for telephone service,

Attorneys for the city sought TO
show In the arguments Friday that
special charter cities had certain
rights and that they were given GER
tain powers.
Judge Sloan's supplemental opinion
says:
In my Judgment section 1924 as
amended by Chapter 104 of the acts of
the Nineteenth general assembly was
In full force from March 2. 1882, In all
cities and towns in the state under
general or specific charters. and ap-
plies to street and alleys In the city OF
Keokuk."
Il was claimed that section 1928
did not and does not apply to special
charter cities by reason 70 section 81
of the section. The statute does no.
purport either to grant any new pow.
er to cities, or to modify the power
OF cities, and It is clear to me that
section 1924 applies to. all the high.
ways of the state whether within or
without the city under the general in,
corporation act or under special char.
ter Judge Sloan holdss
Judge Sloan's supplemental opinion
Is brief. 1t covers four pages. He
cites several cases, and then con
Guides with his recommendation that
the decree Of Injunction issue again ),
the city OF Keokuk, and states that
ne adheres to the preliminary report
and its recommendation
The findings are filed now, and the
report will go forward to Judge Nc
fherson. II is probable that Judge
McPhsrson will con ider the recon
mendations made by Judge Sloan and
act IN accordance.
