Potomac Edison Granted 25 Year Franchise Extension
Frederick Aldermen approved a 25 year extension for Potomac Edison Company’s franchise, effectively extending the original 1914 grant to 1964 and beyond, with counsel noting bonds and marketability considerations. The measure allows a 40 year window from passage, aims to improve rates for consumers, and does not grant exclusive privileges. A second finance item permitted Potomac to install a railway switch siding at a street intersection.
