Heights, etc, etc, and then all through
the closely populated sections Of the city

LAO men at any one time.

There is a disposition apparent in
all we'll regulated cities to see that in
future all franchises yield the city their
proper revenue. This is only right
and should have been the rule from the
beginning. There is not a city of ov-
er $4,000 in the United States that
could not at present clear off its mu-
nicipal debt with the money lost to the
city in giving away valuable franchises
that should have been so disposed of
as to Yield from year to year an ever
increasing revenue as the fran
chise itself became more valuable
through the growth. of the city. 1t is
not necessary to rise and remark that
San Antonio stands in the fore front
of such cities.
