CITY REFUSES
$20,000 OFFER
Maintaining That Franchise of Com
pany Is Invalid City Insists That
Electric Company Continue to Pay
Five Per Cent of Earnings to City
Electric Company Would Take Ad
vantage of Clause in Franchise and
Pay City Lump Sum
RcfuHinj.' n tender of $20,000 'm
lieu of (In; five per cent ot the nnnunl
KrosR cnniiiigrt of the Oregon nnd
California IWcr company in Mcd
ford, the city will probably -bring
suit in the near future to nnnii) tho
franchise of the electric cWipnny in
Medforil. The oompnuy recently
mnde the tender of .f'JO.OOO under the
terms of its 2A-yenr franchise,
which tho city authorities now claim
invalid. An attempt to nettle the
matter out of court irf being mndo hut
it f-eems probable that tho case will
go into court soon.
In 1007 the city of Medford hy
ordinance pranted the Condor Water
Power company, later known as
tho itogue- River Electric company
nnd recentjy merged into tho Oregon
California Power company, n 25
year franchise. By the termH of tho
franchise the power company took
over the municipal light plant, agree
ing to Hiy the city therefor, five per
cent of the gros earnings in tho
city. It wns further provided that
hy the payment oC $20,000 to the
city, tho- electric company- could.
cease to pay the city tlietfve per
cent of the gross earning. , Thid
payment of $20,000 wan to bo made
within five yenrs from the dnte of
the granting of the franchise.
Recently this five year period ex
pired, but ju&t previous to that time
tho eleclrie company tendered the
$20,000 to the city.
Believing that the franchise held
bv the electric company was invalid
inasmuch as it was for a period of
25 years when the chnrter prohibited
granting a franehiso for a longor
period than ten years, the city offi
cials refused to accept the $20,000,
insi.otiug thnt the company continue
to pay the city five per cent of its
gross earnings, which amounts to
about $3,000 a year or considerably
moro than the interest on $20,000.
Tho electric company insists that .
their franchise is valid inasmuch us
the franchise coitfairis n clnnse
which repeals all laws in conflict
with it.
An attempt to compromise the
matter is now being made, but it
seems probable thnt tho enso will go
into court. A. E. Reiunes is appear
ing for the electrio company, P. J.
Noff for the city. -
