CITY FRANCHISES.

Eiitor Democrat City Council having
awarded the contracts for doing all the CITY
work to the lowest bidder, by which it is said
the city will save to the taxpayer some one
hundred and fifty Thousand dollars a year,
and as care, watchfulness and an honest de-
termination to administer public trusts for
the best interests Of the taxpayer seems to be
the leading motive for action Of our present
public servants and representatives think
this the proper time to direct the attention of
the City Council and Of the whole community
to the propriety and wisdom of disposing of
all the city franchises to the highest bidder
IL this is begun Immediately have no mis-
givings but that it will bring into the city
treasury within the next few years two or
three millions of dollars, without doing any
injustice or oppression to any interest," and
thereby allow OF the immediate abolishing OF
that remnant Of the barbarism Of Queen
Elizabeth's time, the licensing system, or at
least that portion of it that falls on small
tradesmen and business people.
The city, we all know, has valuable proper
ty and franchises, which it is expected the
Council will at all times administer for the
best interest of the public. There ID the
Waterworks, which they are now endeavor-
ing to make more profitable to the public;
there is the public markets, which the Coun-
Gil very properly sells to the highest bidder
we confess, we never could see any
reason why the city should own all the mar
kets more than she should own all the coffee
saloons or all the boarding houses, but we
suppose it is because it was the custom in
France and England three hundred years
ago.
AMONG the valuable franchises wfIicf1 the !
city has heretofore disposed Of. but so far
with very little advantage to the city treasury.
Is the use OF her streets for city railroads.
There are now six chartered companies rum
ming nineteen lines, whose charters expire at !.
