judged from the papers before me- demanded by the
citizens matter Of public accommodation public
The streets of city property and every
citizen has vested right in their occupation for
purposes Of public accommodation, and the policy
prOprety Of granting exclusive privileges to individuals to
occupy them can only be justified on the ground of the
public advantage which is to herefrom and such
privileges should never in judgment be granted unless
upon the clearest indication that such advantages, or
corresponding benefit is to be derived But if the
road required to promote the interest convenience
Of citizens cannot but feel that the interests OF the
sy have been inurousy affected by the terms on which
competition had been invited permitted there is
donbt that parties equally competent and respon
sible with the present grantees would have been
found to construct the road terms much
favorable to citizens, and advantageous
