Jenks, P. J.:
This is a controversy submitted pursuant to section 1279 of the Code of Civil Procedure. In 1885 the plaintiff, a municipal corporation, granted a franchise or privilege to the defendant, a corporation, to furnish electric light and power in the city of Yonkers. The defendant thereupon set up its plant and began such business. After 1886, from time to time, contracts were made between the parties whereby the defendant furnished electric light and power for the public streets, parks, places and buildings of the said city. One (or more) of such contracts now exists.
