fering loss would be able to collect
demages in a civil action. After
inflicting all of these things on a
long suffering community the com
pany sees the impending cyclone
and asks the town to protect its
rights by granting it an electric
light franchise without restrictions
as to price or the kind of service to
be furnished. 1t wants all the
rights of a franchise without any
of the responsibilities. If we mis-
take not the temper of the people
they are very tired OF wearing this
water and light yoke and want a
change. They are not going to be
frightened into continuing to sub
NIT to it by an inspired newspaper
article.
The matter came to a head at the
meeting of the board of trustees
Tuesday evening when James
Monaghan appeared and asked for
the consideration of his electric
light franchise. Three of the trus-
tees stood firmly for the protection
OF the rights of the people. They
were '. W, Sander, Armand Per
renoud and A. V. Chamberlin.
W. B. Mcfarland championed the
cause OF the light company and
made the motion, which he sup
ported by argument, for the con-
sideration Of Mr.. Monaghan's fran
chise, but it was lost for want of a
second.
The old company has persistently
refused to grant any concession or
make a reasonable proposition for
either light or water and by its
arbitrary action has forfeited any
right it may have had to further
consideration, and the whole peo-
pie will approve of the action of the
the three members OF the board
who stood up firmly for the rights
of the town.
Mr.. B. Q. Graham, representing
a company that is anxious to take
the proposition up along the lines
laid down in the report of the cit
liens committee, made to the board
OF trustees some time ago, talks as
though he meant business. This
company wants nothing but a fair
franchise and offers to build a large
reservoir on the hill, pump water
from the main body Of the lake,
furnish water absolute free for FIRE
purposes and street sprinkling, give
the town number of street lights
tor the mere cost of caring for the
same and make water and light
rates that are satisfactory to the
people, in return for a franchise.
Mr.. Graham talks as though he
meant business and is ready to
start work as soon as the franchise
IS granted. He shows a dispose
ton to do what is right and is will
ling to make concessions to the
town in return for a franchise, a
proposition so different from what
the town has been subjected to that
there is no doubt the people will
stand back of the board in grant
ing his company franchise. The
people are heartily sick of their
past treatment at the hands of the
old company and the Press voices
the sentiment of the community
when it says that the board of
trustees should grant a franchise, |
with proper restrictions, to the new
company. The time is now ripe
.or the town to assert its rights and
f 1t fails to do so it will have no
one to blame. The old water COM
oany has itself to blame if it loses
n the game Of bluff it has been
playing against the town.
