TO FIGHT
|HANFORD
DECISION

city Attorney Stiles was order
ed by the city council today to
bring Immediate suit against the
Syndicate Heat & Power Co. to
restrain II from selling electric
current to the California, Ber-
nice and Equitable buildings.
The order was made following
an investigation into the reports
that the company which operates
the power plant In the National
Realty building was delivering
current across the street through
q tunnel.
A similar action was brought
16 years ago, after the power
company had begun to sell cleo
tricity on a permit allowing 1t
to only transmit steam heat
across the street.
The suit fingered in federal
court four years, Judge Hanford
finally issuing permanent or
der against the city.
This order, in Stiles opinion,
is extinct now because persons
connected with the company at
that time no longer own stock
In 1t.
The city charter prohibits any
person from crossing street for
transmission of electricity with
out special permit.

ell today will effect several 9TH
