Per Curiam:
That the companies, defendants, were and are properly sub[*305] jeeted to a reasonable license fee is not an open question; and we concur with the court below in its conclusion that the fee charged is not so obviously excessive and unjust as to authorize a revision of the action of the city councils.
Judgment in each case is affirmed.
