The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-06-11

his ordinance as adopted by our Hon.
orable Board. though the. first in itself
is fatal. The section referring to the
granting of transfers is so involved tha-
it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascer-
ain its limitations. It does not seem
compel the company to carry a passenger
from Jersey City beyond the city limits
for a single fare In fact It eompeIs
does not limit the amount of the fare. 1t
should at least provide that q single fare
ride, when transferred to a connecting
line of the company, as far Jas though
thai; amount had been paid on such con-
Meeting line.
Again the provisions concerning an ac-
~ceptance favors of the provisions used n
giving irrepealable contracts insmatters. of
terest that there shall be nothing con-
tanned in the ordinance to prevent It's
future alteration or repeal.
finally the ordinance is drawn for all
time. 1t is perpetual. A fixed perlou,
not exceeding twenty years, is long
enough for privileges of the nature men,
ton generally, and this city in particular,
has experienced the inconvenience of
perpetual grants, and it will be well to
of it's public highways insthe light of
conditions then found. These reasons
FOR my action in this matter must appeal
man jealous of his rights, and to every
} official who would be jealous in the per-
formance of the duty which he owe his
city, and l trust your Honorable Board
viii! sustain me in upholding the principle
of no perpetual franchise and no fran
chise at all without due compensation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOOS, Mayor.
