Description

This case comes to the Law Court on report on an agreed statement of facts. It is an action of debt by the plaintiff as Collector of Taxes of the town of Hodgdon to collect a tax assessed for the year 1944 against the defendant as owner of certain poles and wires constituting the transmission line along the highways in the town of Hodgdon, used for the purpose of supplying electric light and power to the town of Hodgdon and the inhabitants thereof. The agreed statement makes all of the special acts of the Legislature, which are applicable, part of the case, and admits the assessment and commitment to be regular. It shows the defendant to be a corporation engaged in the distribution of light and power in several towns, including Hodgdon and Houlton. No other person or corporation is engaged in generating or distributing electricity, nor does any other person or corporation own any transmission line or facility within Hodgdon. The town of Hodgdon has so few inhabitants that it is economically impracticable to generate and distribute electricity solely to it and its inhabitants. The lines were extended into Hodgdon upon request of its inhabitants. All of the stock of the company is owned by the town of Houlton. Its directors are elected at the town meeting of Houlton. They must be citizens of Houlton. It is the only electric light company the capital stock of which is owned by a municipality in Maine.
