THE VALUE OF FRANCHISES.
 Municipalities Beginning to Ask Consideration for Them.
Atlanta News.

Atlanta News.
 In an equity suit between two trac- tion companies in the city of Pittsburg last week some interesting testimony came out as to the value of street rail- way franchises. Experts on both sides testified that franchises were today very valuable in nearly any city of size in the world. The supply is noth- ing like equal to the demand, they de- clared. One witness testified that franchises were worth twenty-five to thirty times what they were a few years ago. Capital is more plentiful and has to be satisfied with smaller interest, except where it can get mo- nopoly in a public utility. Therefore the public franchise has become inn mensely valuable as a basis of invest ment. The impression that any city, North or South, must beg capitalists to put their money into investments in its borders in order to prosper Is all foolishness.
 Capital does not listen to such en- treaties. Capital is cold, calculating, and when it decides to come to Atlanta you can rest assured that 1t is doing so because it finds Atlanta an advantage ous place to come to. Atlanta wei comes enterprises and capital, but when it pays dividends on it, the score is wiped off the slate and the obliga- tion is not on the city's side.
 In the Pittsburg franchise hearing 1t was stated on the witness stand re- peatedly that one company ought to pay the other from 40 to 50 per cent. of its fares for the mere use of a DOT tion of track constituting a fraction of the line of each company, because that track controlled the way to the business center of the city. This gives of 1hn rn1, Of hA irf, t. occupy streets all over the city, which Atlanta has given away, and shows that mere tax of five per cent. on the receipts of any and all companies is but drop in the bucket to what they would be able and ought to pay the city for the precious rights which they enjoy.

 We think it worth while to say that the Councils of Norfolk should be very cautious about granting valuable mu nicipal franchises. Not only this, but care should be exercised to make the possessors of all the franchises that have been or shall be granted live up to the letter of their obligations. Our city has reached that point in its de- velopment at which these matters as sume vast importance. All over the country municipalities are realizing that this franchise question is one which demands the closest study and watchfulness. The privileges sought by corporations are exceedingly valu- able. or they would not be sought; and as a city increases in population, the eagerness to develop" 1t increaces correspondingly. There are certain limits which a prosperous city like ours should not overstep in it's Gesire to encourage the employment of cari- tai within it's borders. Too great gen. erosity in the distribution Of fran chises is to be avoided just as much as is an unprogressive and enterprlse- repelling spirit.

The papers of San Francisco charge
that the U. S. District Attorney there
has mack OF drawing up complaints
which are. defective and that more
than half the accused people slip
through the meshes OF the law for
this reason. We have seen these
peculiar things happen right here in

drawn to allow a friend to escape a
trial Is nothing new. Let law be
passed by which District Attorney
would forfeit months salary every

and it might lessen the nunber.
