Abstract:
Legal declarations by water, electric, and other public utility companies surrendering their franchises in exchange for indeterminate permits, pursuant to chapters 499 and 578, Laws of Wisconsin, 1907. The files also include statements from street and interurban railway companies electing not to accept indeterminate permits, but continue to operate under their existing franchises, pursuant to chapter 442, section 2, Laws of Wisconsin, 1919. Accepting an indeterminate permit constituted implied consent on the part of the utility company to the future purchase of its property by the municipality in which the major part of the utility was situated. Box 1, folder 1 contains a docket book showing date of filing, utility name, and location.
