WALNUT GROVE COUNCIL LETS
ELECTRIC POWER FRANCHISE

Walnut Grove-Recalling the cleo
trio franchise previously given te
the Midland Light and Power com
pany, the village council recently
gave a franchise to the Donovan
Construction company, under thu
name of the Peoples Service Light
and Power company.
The franchise, which provided fol
| the erection of local power plant
given to the Midland Light and Pow
er company early in May, subject tt
further investigation and action
was withdrawn by a unanimous vote
of the council. The motion asked
that the franchise be recalled for the
reason that the company had not
furnished satisfactory proofs that
they are able to build, maintain, anG
equip an adequate power plant and
distributing system.
The discussion was then limited
principally to the Interstate Power
company and the Donovan Construc.
ton company, and resulted in mo-
ton to give a ten year franchise
to the Donovan company. A tie vote
was cast upon this motion; N. s.
Peterson and A. w. Olson voting in
favor, and A. J. Kaas and M. A,
Dahms opposed. Mayor S. Nelson
then cast his deciding vote.
Opponents of the franchise asked
that the question be allowed to rest
until further date, with the Inter
state Power compny furnishing
power at the present rates without
a franchise, as this would allow more
time for investigation and the study
of other possibilities.
The franchise was given to the
Donovan company subject to accept
ance, after few changes had been
made in the franchise submitted by
the company. AS adopted by the
council it provides current for street
lighting at six cents a kilowatt
hour, and the light company to sup
ply the bulbs for the lamps.
The Donovan company proposes to
build a line to Tracy from where
they will supply Walnut Grove with
current bought from the Northern
States Power company. The fran
chise also gives them the right to
build a power plant in Walnut
Grove, should they at any time wish
to do so, though representatives of
the compay state that the town is
too small to warrant a plant at
present.
