1Opinion of the Court
PHILLIPS, Chief Judge.
The topography of the area in which the City of Frankfort, Kentucky, is located, is such that the inhabitants of that City generally are unable to view commercial telecasts satisfactorily through the use of ordinary antenna systems. 1
In 1952 the Electric and Water Plant Board of the City of Frankfort caused to be formed a non-stock, non-profit corporation, Community Service, Inc. (Community), for the purpose of providing a community coaxial cable antenna system, commonly called a CATV system, for at least a part of the residents of the City. 2
