Bell Sanitary Service Franchise I am in receipt of your letter of September 22nd which sets forth the requirements for a transfer of the above franchise to Rural Sanitation Service, Inc. First, I checked the County file, and I find that the old Owens Franchise apparently was cancelled and a new franchise was given to Bell. Therefore, this is an assign- ment of the Bell Franchise. Representatives of both Rural Sanitation and the W. R. Bell Service appeared before the County Commission for permission to transfer the franchise about three or four weeks ago, but I will contact Mr. Bell and ask him to send a written request to the County. This letter should serve as the transferee's request for the assignment, along with the other papers I have previously sent to you. In regard to the transferee's financial liability, they operate a number of trucks in an existing franchise and are intending to pay cash for this franchise. They have the regular garbage trucks that they plan to use on this new franchise. Their insurance coverage will be the same as they have on the old franchise . I would appreciate this matter being advertised for public hearing pursuant to the utilities act which you quoted. RJ/kbi.
