The city council wisely refused the
Ogden Street railway company franchise
for double track railway. Some other
company may want to lay tracks and
operate line of street railway on the
streets asked for by the Ogden Street rail
way company; and they ought not to be
shut out. 1t would seem to be good
policy, when granting franchises for the
use of street railways, to providethat more
than one company may use the same tracks
by an equitable arrangement with the
owners of them. This would obviate the
necessity of maintaining many tracks upon
the streets and the public would be just as
well served.
