FOR A PUBLIC EXPRESSION.

FUR a EObLlO hhSO4ONs
We have seen a statement in the public
prints Of q prominent citizen who is al
legged to have said that this ordinance re
ileves the railway company from paying
any part Of the pavement to be hereafter
done by the city. And II prominent gen
tleman makes so great n mistake as to
the provisions of the ordinance, we think
II not improper to state, as we have done,
some Of such provisions. Franchises have
heretofore been given away in Houston, or
only nominal sum obtained therefor.
This is the hrst time an adequate price
has been obtained by any administration
FOR any Houston franchise.
While your committee believe that the
propagation Of settlement ls good one and
will rebound to the great benefit Of the
city, your committee recommend that this
ordinance be not passed until the question
is submitted to O. vote Of the people. ana
we make this recommendation for the rea-
son that when this question was before the
council before resolution was offered ny
an alderman TO submit the question TO q
vote of the people, and about two weeks
after said resolution was offered g number
Of people petitoned the city council to sub
NIT the question to g popular vote rms
Endorsement of the resolution coming from
the character of people who signed the
petition leads your committee to think the'
this question Is one upon which the PEG
rie have taken such deep interest that
2 reference to them would result IN vote
OF e sufficient number Of people to !rdicate
what the majority Of the people or Aors
ton want

policy might dictate. this extension on ths
part OF the railway company. Il might
also dictate that the extension be not made
II the compromise is made the extension Il
certainty
Another thing that we get which Is in
the opinion OF your committee. a valuable
right. Is that the street railway company
agrees TO be bound by the provisions OF the
present charter as TO the amount OF pave
ment to be done by the railway company.
At the time the present charter OF the
city OF Houston was amended different
rule was In force as to the proportion OF
the pavement TO be paid for by the railway
company than was thereafter established
by the present city charter.
II is a question OF Law whether or not
the city can by a new charter change the
terms OF a franchise. Upon this question
your committee expresses no opinion fur
Their than to say that there exists differ.
ence OF opinion thereon. and II Is OF value
TO the city to have its contention adopted
by the street railway.
Another advantage that the city gets BY
the proposed settlement is that the street
railway agrees TO pay for the extra tounda.
| tlon REQUIRED under Its tracks. That q
should do this can not be denied. That
there Is no ordinance requiring II TO do this
| Is equally true.
In addition to these advantages. the city
| gets the annual payments TO be made, which
are during the first twenty-three years,
| per cent on the gross earnings OF the rail-
| way and during the last ten yesrs 2 PEI
| cent on such gross earnings. ana In de
termlning the Gross earnings urbaI
and suburban lines are counted, and tn
city gets its proportion OF the interurbai
lines These amounts are larger in tn
opinion OF your committee than have eve
heretofore been offered. and the specia
committee that obtained this offer has sue
ceeded in getting a better offer than hA
heretofore ever been made TO this body.
We merely refer to these Items to show
why we recommend the acceptance of thu
proposition, and because of the fact tina
some might not take the time 10 read thu
ordinance itself.

James u. Harris, county commits
sioner the friend of the public, the
"watch dog of the treasury" has
made public protest against the al>
lowance Of bill to a local contem
porary approximating 5000. In our
recollection this is the first bill OF
that contemporary which has been
protested by Mr.. Harris, in the
many which has been paid From
what we can ascertain the bill is a
just one. The charges made are
in accordance with the law, 7 cents
a line for first publication and a
cents for each succeeding. If it is
not in accordance with the law Mr.
Harris protest is correct, but we
presume it Is correct, else why
should the bill have been presented
for this amount Is Mr.. Harris
making grand stand play? For
ears he has been an ardent friend
Of the publication in question Why
does he snap aud snarl at the last
DILL OF the erstwhiIe public printer?
Does Mr.. Harris take the public
for set OF eggregious donkeys.
The law provides that Mr.. Harris
shall receive pay at the rate OF S. 90
per day, he does not refuse this
sum. A great many people may
think tn t Mr.. Harris receives too
much pay, yet the citizens recogn
ize that the law provides and hold
their peace Why does Mr.. Harris
hen turn on his friend at last or
refuse the printer his wage? The
little boy hallowed wolf once too
