Gentlemen: - Very recently a case of the City of Des Moines vs. Iowa Telephone com- pany was decided by a jury in t1 3 Dis- trict Court of Polk county by which a verdict was returned in a very large amount in favor of the city. The ac- tion was brought for the use of the city's streets, alle avenues and highways, with the poles, wires, ca- bles and conduits of the Iowa Tele- phone company, the action being based upon the theory that the tele- phone company was using the streets, etc., without lawful right or authority, not having a franchise, and that the city should be compensated for such use. The identical situation exists in Dubuque. It is true that here we have submitted to the court the ques- tion of whether or rot the telephone company must first secure a franchise a.- a condition precedent to the enjoy- ment of the right to occupy our streets, etc., and as yet has not been decided by said court. That being true it will not be possible or prac- ticable to institute proceedings in the nature of the Les Moines case at once, but as I expect the District Court here will in the near future decide upon the case submitted him, the City Attorney's • office seeks permission from your Honorable Body to prepare and file a suit for money owing and due on account of the use of the city's streets by the telephone company, just as soon as we shall deem such action prudent and advisable.
