Perpetual-Franchise Test.

The attorney general has brought suit in the supreme court at Gplumbus to test the validity of perpetual franchises in Ohio. The case in point is that of the state against the Cincinnati Edison Electric company, being an action in ouster. The important feature is that the supreme court will be called upon to pass on the per-petual-franchise claims of various corporations in streets of municipalities.
