guarantee the construction on Front
street al IN iron and concrete cable

kes street cable road Of San Francisco
and 70 give the city twenty-five hun
dred dollars per year for City years IN
consideration Of the granting Of the
franchise. The payment Of this sum
be proposes to guarantee BY . firsf

company should at any time fail to
pay the promised twenty-five hundred
dollars annually. the entire property
would pass into the hands Of the city
and the road might be operated or dis
posed Of a. the council should think fit.
Yet, in spite Of the fact that such .
proposition a. this is made, there are
councilmen who are in favor OF giving
away this valuable franchise to an out
side corporation without receiving, or
50 much Is asking one cent in return.
This is strange. On its face it looks
bad. Why should the council give for
nothing that for which the city might
receive substantial return, II is GER
tain that no one Of the members of the
council would be sufficiently accom-
modating to give away any portion OF
