property in the same condition as they were prior to said
removal or relocation. Any relocation or removal o£ the
Company's facilities made necessary because of the extension
through or into the City of a federally aided state trunk
highway, included within the National System of Interstate
Highways , shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes 1969 , Section 161 .46.
Section 4. The Company in the installation, maintenance,
and operation of its facilities shall be subject to such reason-
able regulations as may be provided by the Council , and no pipe
or pipes or other appurtenances sha11 hereafter be installed or
laid by the Company upon the streets and public property of the
City, except upon application to the Commissioner of Public
Works or other person designated by the City Council and written
permission therefor granted by said Cornmissioner or person,
subject to the approval, however, by the Council by resolution.
Section S. During the term of the permission hereby granted,
the Company shall pay into the treasury of the City of Saint
Paul a yearly license fee of 8% , the monetary amount of which
is to be measured by the Company's gross earnings during 1971
and 1972, and the payment of such amount to be made in quarterly
installments on or before the 30th day of April , July, and
October of each of said years , and on or before the 30th day of
December of each of said years , so that the April 30th payment
of the license fee shall be 80 of the amount of the gross earnings
of the Company during the three-month period of January, February,
and March of 1971 and 1972 ; the July 30th payment of the license
fee shall be 8� of the amount of the gross earnings of the

during the three•month period of July, August , and September
of 1971 and 1972 ; and the December 30th payment o£ the license
fee shall , if necessary, be based on a reasonable estimate of
the gross earnings of the Company during the period from October
1 through December 31 , 1971 and 1972 � and shall be appropriately
adjusted by an additional payment by the Company or a refund by
the City of Saint Paul when actual gross earnings for such period
have been determined by the Company. The amount of the license
fee shall be allowed as an operating expense to the Company, and
in calculating such amount, "gross earnings" shall be held to
mean and include all sums received by the Company from the sale
of steam distributed and used within the city limits of the City
of Saint Paul .
Section 6. The Council hereby prescribes the following
schedules of rates contained in Appendix A attached hereto and
made a part hereof. Such rates shall become effective as to

Section 7 . The Council may, upon its initiative or
shall upon the petition of the Company, review the operations
and rates of the Company under this permit and after a public
hearing, of which ten (10) days ' published notice shall be
given, shall prescribe by ordinance , within one hundred fifty
(150) days after the filing of such petition, reasonahle rates
which the Company may charge for steam. Should it reasonably
appear within one hundred (100) days after such filing that
Council will be unable to prescribe rates within said one
hundred fifty (150) day period� Company may request Council
to authorize the schedules of rates pro�osed by Comp any in
its petition to become effective as interim rates on all bills
computed from regular meter readings after said one hundred
fifty (150) day period, subject to the obli.gation by Company
to refund to its customers any increases in rates collected
under such interim rates which are in excess o£ the lawful
and reasonable rates as finally determined. Action by the
Council on such request shall be based on ec�uitable consid-
erations , including the balancing of any potential harm to
the public and to the Company.
Rates contained in Appendix A hereof have been adjusted
from previous rates to cover only the cost of increased gross
earnings payments to be made to City under this ordinance.
It is understoad that such action shall not preclude the
Company from filing� in the calendar year 1971 , a petition
requesting the review of its operations and rates as provided
ab ove.
Section 8. The Company may withdraw any rate schedule
which has been superseded, may revise any existing rate
schedule, or establish other rates , Providing such rates
shall be reasonable and no existing customer shall be adversely
affected thereby. Within ten (10) days after the filing of
such withdrawal , revision, or new schedule by the Company,
the City Clerk shall give published notice o£ such filing.
The withdrawal , revision, or new schedule shall take effect
sixty (60) days after written notice thereof has been filed
by the Company with the City Clerk and with the Commissioner
o£ Public Utilities or other person designated by the Council ,
unless the Council or any customer shall initiate by resolution
or petition during the interim period a review of the filing,
whereupon a public hearing shall be conducted upon ten (10)
days ' notice published beforehand. After the hearing, the
Council shall by resolution adopt, modify, or reject the
withdrawal of superseded rates , revision of existing rates , or
establishment of new rates .
When written notice has been filed by Company of such
revisions , new schedules , or withdrawals , there is reserved
