Opinion

ALLEN, J.

Where the contract between a municipal corporation and an electric lighting company is silent as to the duration of the franchise such franchise is not perpetual, but the duration thereof is simply indeterminate existing only so long as the parties mutually agree thereto. A municipal corporation may therefore voluntarily terminate its obligation under the contract and wholly withdrawn therefrom.

Judgment affirmed.

Marshall, CJ., Matthias, Day, Kinkade and Robinson, JJ., concur.
