Paulener's Bold Franchise Proposal For City Run Power Plan
A letter from W. S. Paulener outlines a municipal franchise bid to a mayor for city aided power services. He pledges no upfront cost, demands strict bond forfeitures, and insists the city’s interests be protected while enabling a private company to build and operate a utility, with rigid revisions and a guaranteed bond return if performance falters. The plan emphasizes urban control, equity, and a permanent municipal return through the bond and ordinance provisions.
