Iii tho house a bill bearing the names of ohn H. Lewis and Senator W. E. Burke' provides that all equip ment and properties of a utility using the street " of hhy city shall be re moved frbhi1 the streets within six months after the expiration of "any grant. ' privilege." or' Trachise.' . . . unless further im be granted by tho municipal corporation having authority to dp so. and If not re moved within six months after the termination 'or cxpjratlon of franchise " . alt and every part thereof shall be 'forfeited and 'e's- I cheated to the municipal corpora- In Its particular application to tho city of Portland where tho telephone franchise has expired, the company has rejected the city's offer for re newal and the company Is operating Without a franchise, tho ball pro vides that "where any such franchise has expired hereto or prior to tho timo this act shall take effect, then the time for removal shall run from tho date this act becomes effective." In the upper house Senator J. E. Bennett Introduced a bill stipulating that In any city where a utility is operating without a franchise or un der an expired franchise the goyqrn lng body of the' cl(y shall levy a tax of five per cent upon the gross earn ings of the " corporation. Thls bill, as applied to the tele phone franchise situation in Port land." said Bennett, "would compel the city council to levy this tax based on the gross-earning revenue of tho telephone company,- For 1929 trie gross earnings wero $5,172,613.11. Therefore, this tax would return to tho city treasury some $260,000 a year. If tho people of Portland will actively support this bill their troubles as far as franchises are con cerned will be over." While no definite information as to the number of instances over the state where utilities are operating under expired franchises was avail able hero, It was known that there are many such cases in the smaller cities.
