THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT FRANCHISE.

LIGHT FRANCHISE.
The new electric company plant
has appealed to the city council for
an extension Of its franchise to 1917.
The original contract with this com
pany covered FIVE years, and it is al
legged many of the provisions called
for in the original contract have not
been carried out. Personal observa-
tion shows that electric light prop
erty in the city is not in The best
shape. Hundreds of poles are rotten
and dilapidated while at many points
low hanging and Unsecured wires are
an absolute menace TO life and prop
erty The council should go slow in
granting a longtime franchise. The
city is growing. Within FIVE years
the progress in the electrical world
will have cheapened electrical sup
plies and electricity and reduced the
cost of equipment. The application
for a long time franchise may not be
the smacking of a graft, but it con-
tains some features, which should be
investigated. We do not believe the
people favor longtime franchises, and
the council is working in behalf of
the people and not corporations.
