Klamath Falls
Imposes Tax j
On Phone Firm j
KLAMATH FALLS. Dec. 8-(JF) '
-Klamath Falls has imposed a tax
on the Pacific Telephone and Tel
egraph company, in what may ev
entually become the first test of a
state law.
Mayor Ed Ostendorf notified
the telephone- company that the
city would levy a 5 per cent gross
income privilege tax for operat
ing here without a franchise.
The telephone company's old
franchise expired last January,
but city and company officials
have not been able to agree on
terms for a new one.
Telephone officials declined to
say what action they will take.
The city based its tax decision on
a state law, which authorizes cit
ies to impose a privilege tax up
to 5 per cent on private utilities
using streets and alleys without a
franchise.
The former franchise here pro
vided a 2 per cent gross income
tax, and free telephone service to
the city.
