raised considerably The salary of

81, 200 per ann IN. A new section was

CIRCUIT ON WATER FRANCHISES.
HE TELLS MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP UNION
THAT NO MORE MUST BE GIVEN AWAY

As speaker before the Municipal Ownership
Union at the Civic Club last evening Edward NJ
Grout, the fusion candidate for Controller. had
this to say about the ctys water supply:
The best piece of municipal property lies in the
water system. The city must continue to own its
water supply and must make ii such that it
will all the city and displace the other water
companies now supplying water in outlying dis
tricfs.
We must be reasonable In treatment OF the
franchises We must remember the validity of
contracts, and that these franchises have been
deemed contracts, They can never be reacquired
except by purchase at fair price The thing
We can insist upon however. Is that they be taxed,
just other property is taxed. Thanks to the
Revised Franchise Tax law introduced by Mr.
Ford and passed through the efforts of Mr.. Roose-
welt this Is possible, and insist that
franchises be taxed in the same proportion and
treated in all other respects other property is
treated.
The next important thing to do Is to stand by
the provisions OF the city charter and prevent the
giving away OF any franchises. The provi-
rions Of the charter In this respect should be
rgidly enforced.
