Milford Utility Fight Flares Anew Over Power Franchise
The town of Milford and Northwestern Light And Power clash again over the right to operate. Milford authorized a highline from Spirit Lake and posted guards to prevent repairs, but a temporary injunction blocked further interference until the dispute ends. About half the town’s residents had service restored when the injunction arrived. The dispute spans years with Milford claiming the company lacks a franchise while the company asserts a franchise to light streets through 1938 is valid. The utility has served Milford 23 years, despite a municipal plant starting last April.
