BLOW TO SYNDICATE
ENDICOTT COMPANY CANNOT TUN-
MEL STREETS WITHOUT
FRANCHISE
OPINION GIVEN BY MARKHAM
TvvO-Thirds Vote of Council Nee
essary to Secure Franchise,
and Assembly Is Not
Likely to Assent.

If the Endicott syndicate, now engaged
in the construction of two business
blocks at Sixth and Cedar streets and
the acquisition of sundry valuable realty
holdings throughout the business dis
trict Desires to use the streets for the
transmission of light and heat between
its various buildings it must secure a
bona fide franchise from the council.
This opinion has been furnished by Cor
poration Attorney Markham, in answer
to request that he prepare a resolution
giving to George E. Cabot and Luther s.
Gushing the right to cross and tunnel
several streets for the stringing of wires
and the layingso of conduits.
Three months ago Messrs. Cabot and
Gushing made application for fran
cnise, but opposition was so strenuous
and repeated trials were so uniformly at
tended with failure that the application
was withdrawn about TWO weeks ago,
and simple request to cross Sixth anG
Cedar streets alone made instead. 70
this the board of aldermen gave it's ap-
prevail, and sent it to the legal depart
ment to have the proper resolution drawn
up.
At the first trial made by the company
the board of aldermen gave it's approval,
but stumbling block was found when
the assembly was reached, and natural
supposition is that the members are of the
same mind as ever and will still refuse to
consider the proposition. Those oppos-
ing the franchise say they do so on the
ground that to endow a private company
with such a broad franchise and without
restrictions, would be to take from any
other company that meant to treat all
alike enough business to make its venture
Improbable. The opposing members
also say they. desire cheap lighting for
the city and when the time comes de-
sire to have the streets unincumbered
so that an advantageous offer can be
received.
The opinion given by the corporation
attorney is quite broad and will have the
effect of hereafter curtailng indiscrim-
mate giving away Of the use of the
streets He points out the fact that the
use of the streets by a private concern Is
in the nature of a franchise and accord
ing to the construction of the charter
must provide for the payment of a
FER cent gross earnings tax. Such a.
franchise can only be granted by the
passage of an ordinance and that with
the consent of two-thirds of the voting
strength of the members. The franchise
must be limited to term of twenty-five
years.
The agents of the two buildings now in
course of construction say the structures
are being delayed because of the refusal
to give them permission to tunnel the
streets. They wish to use a central
heating and power plant and connect
their several buildings with it.

made to appear a complete payment He
had, so he told Johnson, committed the
offense so as to save himself from I'M
mediate financial pressure. without in
tention of wrongdoing and with no
intention of cheating the county He in
tended to square the matter up the fol-
lowing day. After confessing to Johnson
Whitehorne left the office, and returned
later, saying that he wanted to make it
right, and had the money with which to
do It.
Mr.. Johnson testified as to White
horne's absence from the meetings oe
the board, and as to Whitehorne's easy
access to the records in the auditors Of

Attorney Kane would issue warrant
for his arrest upon learning the facts,
The examination proved that one Of
the fraudulent entries was made between
Jan 20 and May l. during Whitehorne's
tenure on the board of county commits

THEY SMELL A RAT
DEMOCRATS SUSPICIOUS OF MOVE
MENT TO AMEND CHARTER.

The proposition TO amend the charter IS
not looked upon with favor ~ some
democrats, who say they see I'm ii "a sils-
plclous desire on the part of certain Re
publican politicians to make changes that
would tend TO give longevity to the ten
ure OF Office now being enjoyed by sew
eral of their brethren.
How the situation is viewed bv one
polltlcian is shown in the following:
This scheme to amend The charter
under the preteXt that it is not elastic
enough, l think emanated from members
OF the Lincoln Republican club, who
THINK they see in it a chance to get back
into. their control several departments
from which politics has been .Ii-iuated
entirely. or are now affiliated with the
Democratic party They were a short
time ago credited with desire t. have
the police force again placed under the
control of the mayor, but happily they
nave been baked in that. The police
force IS now run on a business basis and
that is something the people have not
had in the past. They probably rsmem-
Der few things about the old regime.
Some of the fellows who want changes
are perhaps honest, but a scheme under
lies the whole thing, and / think il will
be voted down. The charter i'm the mdfl
is all right, and if it is tempered with
now the taxpayers win be the losers"
