GxxrLrMxE: / would respectfully ask
You TO consider this propriety OF requiring
parties who may wish 20 construct street
railroads, 10 establish gas or water WORKS,
10 pay 10 the citya oeriaiu amosnt for TIC
suse oil thu streets, either per crntage OF
their grosa earnings. or stipulsted amount
each wear for the uss Of the same.
Now, II can not be con'ended, by any cor
poratiop. that thes have the exclusive
right TO use tue streets OF the city, paid for
ont 81 the revenue derived rom taxing tho
whole peopls, free and without charge, nor
can II be contesdeo, thst enies nave no
right under their charter, TO impose 5noh
conditions. when permitting the streets to
bs used for street railroads tor gas or other
purposes. Tue streets belong " the
people and they have been opened aud
graded mt the expense OF the people. Why
then should the city council give any parry
or corporation the right TO use the streets
free to ole them to declare large divi-
bends. greater each year, probably. than
the amount paid out tor the construction
Of the s.mef The council, contend,
should d, maud pay for the use OF the s.reets
from each company or person using tine
streets, and no, allow any company or per-
son 10 monopol,xs the streets graded At tho
oxpense of the people. From all tho ufor-
nation have, New Orleans, New York aud
Boston, a. well ~ the smaller cities IN the
different states, demand OF all street rail-
roads, gas aud water companies pay for
tho use OF tho streets. No individual or
no corporation should have exclusive
use OF our streets and should have
oply zach rights az they arc willing
TO pay Tor. The livery stable, the omnibus
line. the hack lines and the man with his
smell express wagon have 10 pay his license
60 use the streets. Thew pay TIER taxes
nlso 40 citizens which can be and - rsed
for opening and grading our streets. Your
attention is called to this matter and |
would recommend that pay b. required In
every instance FIR the use of our streets. no
matter II the party be single Individual or
am with high respect,
