at (tie same time as the fran
chise of the C. I.. P. \Y. Co.,
so as to leave the Town ot
Ketchikan free to act with one
or both companies at the expir
ation of said franchises.
See. a of the Chesney fran
chise asks for J? months in
which to commence prelimin
ary work. We have agreed that
t,shelve months is too long n
time, considering that tIi3 for
mer franchise was allowed lml
60 days.
Sec. ii. Relative to assigning
rights und3r terms or this
franchise, to any person, com
pany or corporation: We ''re
commend that the said George
M. Chesney be prohibited from
transferring this franchise to
any person, company or corpor
ation, until the work as desig
nated shall be completed, and
then not to the C. L. P. <x W.
Co.
Sec. 8. Relative to the bond
of 81,000 as offered. We have
agreed that this amount js not
sufficient.
The above report is Respect
fully submitted.
W. It. PATCHING.
P. G. SHARK.
M. J. HEXEGHAX.
The report was accepted and
placed on file.
Under the head of unfinished
business. Councilman Ryn>
made a. motion that the fran
chise asked for be amended ns
suggested by the committee
and granted, and the talk fesf
was on.
Councilman Shark speaking
on the motion, suggested that
'he council draw up a franchise
embracing if he amendments -ng
?ested by the committee, and
have same published, together
with that asked for by Mr.
Chesney and then have a special
electron for the citizens to vote
on same and decide which one
they warfted.
Ifeneghan followed along the
same line, and suggested that
conditions from an electric
ight standpoint were entirely
efferent now than twelve years
ago, when Ketchikan was but
a lr'.tlo hamlet and not the
solid town id now is. Twenfy
ive years was too long accord
ug to him.
Ryus was of the opinion that
15 years ;wjas long enough for
ho life of the franchise, and
hat the fact thad the present
ight franchise would expire in
ight years had no bearing on
he present application. He
'dieves though, that a bond of
'5.000 would be only a fair
>ropo<ilion as far as the town
> concerned.
lleneghan Ithen spoke a second
One. stating that his objection
i (he possibility of Mr. Ches
ey selling his franchise to
he G. P. W Co., was on the
rounds that such an act would
hen exttend that company's
ranchise just that much.
Paup believed that the time
'•ad come when franchises were
worth something, and 'besides,
e believed that probably with
1 Hie next eight years, legis
< ion would be enacted 'Which
vould permit of Ketchikan is
ling bonds and buying and
perating its own liglit system.
Patching agreed with Shark,
nd added that Chesney as well
<s the Town should be cortsid
-’red. Underwrighters’ re
[uirements must be complied
villi also, or insurance rates
ould go up. w
Mayor Harris then < asked if
ny private citizens bad any
ling to say, and J. G. Barber,
s the representative of the C.
. I*, es \V, Go. traced the early
is lory of Ketchikan's electric
gh! plant. Totld of itis strug
gles, litigation, anj delays,
hopved how tile town had
row’n, and the company had
ept up with it, >o that acoord
ig to him the present plant
a> a capacity large enough for
ne town for the next ten years.
Reasoning from this he stated
t• iat there was no need of a
