Nor is the fact that franchise has been pur-
chased from the city or from the State any bar
TO taxing It. There are hundreds Of acres Of
land In this city purchased originally from the
Mayor. Aldermen and com monalty or from the
State Government. all OF which are conceded
to be taxable and have been for years taxed
without objection from their owners. fran
chise. no matter on what terms II was origi-
nally granted, unless the right Of taxing It was
expressly waived bya contract authorized by
the State Legislature. as was the waiver OF
taxation on some OF the city bonds Is taxable
property, the same as any other property.
To estimate correctly the value OF the fran
chises affected by the new law Is therefore not
so easy matter as It has been represented to
be. In the case OF the street railroad fran
chises OF this city. the companies holding them
have themselves. as we see. approximately
settled the question by agreeing to pay for
them fixed amount. but to attempt to make
them pay In addition tax upon the improve
mcnts they have introduced. and upon the
fruits Of their enterprise and skllful manage
ment OF their business is unjust. The fran
chises Of the gas electric light telegraph and tel
ephone companies are more difficult to appraise
IL. as has been said. gas was sold by the gallon
like petroleum. and delivered In carts. the
right to use the streets for the purpose would
no moro be franchise than the right to delivor
In the same manner any other commodity. Tho
TRUE value OF the franchise enjoyed by the gas
companies OF using pipes laid in the streets
would SEEM therefore. to be only the saving
to them OF expense thus produced. and not
he fluctuating values OF their stocks on the
Stock Exchange. In the case OF steam. cleo
tricity. telegraphs and telephones the problem
Is more complicated. and the solution OF it
would under any conditions be arbitrary As
to steam railroads. which occupy public high
ways the value of their franchises is evidently
the amount they are relieved from extending
by running over those highways instead Of
buying their own right OF way. The New York
Central Railroad Company. for example. uses as
roadbeds the streets OF nearly every town and
city along Its line. and to purchase An indepen-
dent right OF way would cost 1t many millions
OF dollars That It should pay these towns and
cities. in the form OF taxes. something In re-
turn for the saving they permit 1t to make Is
reasonable. and the only question is: How
much? MATHEW MARSHALL.

In all forces there is a tendency on the
part of a very few clerks to shirk work,
