CITIZENS VOTE "NO" ON
TWENTY-YEAR FRANCHISE
In the Special Election yester
day, the citizens of Nome rejected
the Nome City Ordinance No. 313,
which would have, subject to the
vAers’ ratification, granted to the
Northern Light and Power Com
pany a twenty-year franchise to
operate in the City of Nome.
This was the third defeat in fif
teen years, according to reliable
sources, in which the company
has tried to obtain a renewal of
its original franchise.
The vote tally was 112 for rati
fication, and 196 against ratifi
cation.
It was voiced this morning, by
some who had strongly opposed
ratification, that this was a decid
ed victory for those who were
in favor of a city-owned plant.
A few years ago, there was a
fairly strong move to get public
consent to buy the plant for the
City, but it fell through from lack
of sufficient support, one of its
followers stated.
