The Indeterminate Permit as a Satisfactory Franchise

Year: 1911

Type: article

Abstract: The Wisconsin legislatures of 1905, 1907 and 1909 worked out and put into effect as laws of the State, a system for the con- trol of public service corporations which appears to be more com- plete and practicable than has so far been developed by any other State in this country.One feature of this legislation is the &dquo;Inde- terminate Permit.&dquo;The law relating to the &dquo;Indeterminate Permit,&dquo; taken together with the other legislation relating to public service corporations, provides a method for dealing with those matters heretofore attempted to be covered by the municipally granted franchise contract, which, in the opinion of the writer, approaches very nearly an entirely satisfactory solution of the franchise problem.
