The franchise for the Wallowa Lake Light and Power company was granted last night at a lively special meeting of council, after se.eral hours debate. The franchise of the McCully com 'ttuy, now supplying light and pow er, has 4' years to run, and Mr. Mc Cully asks that it be extended for the same length of time granted the new company. The situation Is fur ther complicated by a third seeker for a franchise, Messrs, J. D. Walck and Geo. W. Hamilton, who ask for a 20 year franchise. The W. L. L. & P. company fran chise was reported, favorably from the committee on lights with the recommendation that a maximum price to consumer be added. The report was adopted and the franchise passed to the third reading. Messrs. Hamilton and Walck's re quest for a franchise was then con sidered. They expra3sly limited the price to consumers, and offered to furnish the city, at its option, lights at a considerable reduction from pres ent prices, F. D McCully stated he would meet any limitations the council would place upon all of the com panies or would retire from the field. The council discussed the various propositions for two hours, finally coming to the conclusion to give all the applicants a franchise of equal duration and uniform conditions. Jay H, Dobbin Bpoke for the W. L. L. & P, Co., opposing the proposi tion to limit rates in the franchise, contending that it was contrary to business principles, but finally pre sented an offer to limit their rates to consumers to a sum not exceeding the rates charged by the, present company. This was Incorporated by the council In the franchise as an intendment. Councilman Eben made a strong speech In favor of the fran- J3 and Cfncllman Dawson op posed the same, on the ground that its duration was too long, Its limi tations as to ciy control and rosula- tlon u.n9atis.fa.ctory, jts, rates Indef inite and liable to lead to future misunderstandings, Upon the roll call the following members voted, fqr the 30 year fran- nlse as presented by the new com pany: Ed L. Borland, John A. Blev- ans, Geo. F, Dawson, Ed Ebun, Jo-hn .umble., J, H. Thompson, Nona jted against It, The franchise now goe3 to Mayor Fred McCully for approval and up to the hour of going to press he has not approved It, The council adjourned to meet March 10, to consider the other fran chises.
