H|uSDORO CANNOT
ESCAPE HYDRANT
RENTAL SAYS court

In spite of the fact that the North
Coast Power company is operating in
the city of Hillsboro under franchise
which provides for free water service
for municipal purposes. the city must
pay the rental charges on the fire
hydrants as fixed by the Oregon pub
lie service commission. according to
an opinion written by Justice Benson
and handed down by the Oregon su-
preme court this morning.
In 1918 the North Coast Power COM
pany, the successor to the company to
which the original franchise was grant
ed started proceedings to establish a
rental rate on the fire hydrants in the
city of Hillsboro. This rate was fixed
by the public service commissi n az
$2.50 per hdyrant per month. The city
refused to pay the rental and the COM
pany started suit to collect whics 49,
tion the Washington county circuit
court upheld. The city then appealed
to the supreme court to set aside the
order of the public service commits
sion and to enjoin the North Coast
Power company from collecting the
rentals for fire hydrants as prescribed
| by the commission.
In his opinion today upholding the
action of Judge George r. Bagley OF
the lower court Justice Harris declares
that whenever a city enters into q
franchise agreement with a public usn-
F., ity involving rates for service the la.e
reads into such contract stipula-
ton by the city that the state may, a,
any time, exercise its police power and
change such rates"
