Davenport Realty Sues Over Davenport Gas Franchise
A sensational suit filed in district court seeks to annul the Davenport Gas and Electric franchise, enjoin city officials from paying $16 to the company, and have the current franchise declared void. The Davenport Realty Company claims the ordinance was invalid, not approved by a majority, and that elections showed less than a majority in favor. The case targets Mayo Phillips and city council members alongside the gas utility.
