THE method in which the court battle over the tele-

August the protests of the state board OF public
works. Tom Kennedy corporation counsel brought legal
action TO prevent the increases in Seattle.
The telephone company insists that 1t is operating
without franchise in Seatte-that of its fran
chses has expired and that the other has been assigned
TO a San Francisco man.
Kennedy, in mandamus action, charged that the
second franchise is still effective that the assignment
never had been made in good faith and that the fran
chise turned over to STRAW man" TO allow the
company to escape its restrictive limitations
The action filed in superior court and plea

Either the franchise still held and the company should
be guided by it, or the assignment was valid and the
city had case.
Why was the case turned over to Judge King Dyke
man. ordinarily in charge of probate work and TO whom
not once in a hundred times such work would be as
signed?
1t couldn't possibly have been that il was because
Judge Dykeman had no opposition this year in the
elections.
Why was it that Judge Dykeman allowed the plea of
the telephone company attorneys and passed the
along to the federal court?
Why was ii that the federal court set September 2
as the date for the hearing?
1t couldn't possibly have been because the
sary red tape that must ensue before the hearing
could come up, after that date. would set ii just
after the primary election in which many superior
court judges vitality interested.
At any rate Corporation Counsel Kennedys action is
still awaiting decision

Can't Use Funds to Build
Street Car Bridge

No portion of the proceeds of the
bridge bonds voted in March, 1924,
for the erection OF a bridge on w.
Spokane St. across the West water
way, can be used for the construc-
ton of additional bridge facilities on
w. Spokane ST., according to an opin-
ion furnished Councilman Z. L.
Blaine Monday by the corporation
counsel's office.
Any surplus may be used TO widen
the present structure. the opinion
holds, but cannot be applied to any
other structure. This decision was
based on the following extract from
the w. Spokane st. bridge ordinance:
The money derived from the sale
of said bonds shall bit applied and
used only for constructing a bridge
across the West waterway at w.
Spokane st. and for no other purpose
whatsoever"
