Declaring that the parties to the contract or fran chise between a city and a public utility are the only ones who can change it, Circuit Judge Galloway to day set aside an order of the public service commission raising rates of the Western Telephone company In Woodburn. The decision ie baaed on the home rule amendment of the stat laws. The city of Woodburn brought the suit to set aside the order, naming the public service commission and the Western Telephone company as de fendants. The decision affects a question of far-reaching importance, as it was con tended, if the Woodburn franchise could be set aside by. the commission, without the city s consent, other franchises would not be lmmane. , The old franchise provided that the maximum telephone rates should be not over 81.60 for business service, and correspondingly low rates for reeidence service. Increases were ordered by the commission on all rates, and the reasons given were that the consolida tion of rural lines with the city system gave the people better service, and that the company was not getting adequate returns on its investment. The commission will take the case to the-supreme court. . . -.
