Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. 1, 1901.
Mr.. John Martin. 400 Indiana ave
nue., City:
Dear Sir--I am In receipt of your let
ter asking for n declaration from mi
of my views on certain questions
which you submit, which, because OF
my candidacy for the position of Al
dcrman for the new sixth Ward, 20,
deem of public concern.
Recognizing. as ! do, that the qucs
tons asked by you must be answered
by me. by my vote In the Council dur
ing my term of office, II am fortunate
enough to he elected, and that the pub
lie therefore has the right, before Civ
Ing me support, to know what my IN
swcrs will he. l take pleasure In sub
hitting the following reply:
!. Upon the question of the eXten
sion of the franchises of the Traction
companies, ] think that these extcI
siOns should he granted upon term
that should be equitable both to tn
traction companies ana to the city O
Chicago. In other words. 1t Is my judl
ment that legislation upon this subjec
should he along lines which, while rec
ognizing the property rights of thos
: who have their moneys invested 4
these great public utilities, shall In
pose upon the traction companies til
payment to the city compensation fO
the privileges granted.
1t Is my belief that In granting ne,
franchises the same consideration
should be kept In view, and that eXteI
sion of street railways should be allow
ed only In those neighbOrhOods whcr
! they are demanded by a majority q
the property owners.
=, Believing, as ! do, that no RICH
minded citizen Is In favor of the Ope
i saloon after midnight, ana that an
legislation seeking to repeal the mi,
night-clOsing ordinance would tend
foster immortality and crime, am OF
: posed to the repeal of that ordinance.
3. In my opinion the questi0
whether or not public improvement
should he made should generally |
i left to the property owners within I'll
= Improvement district, and the cost
