On Tuesday morning Philadelphia
witnessed the most remarkable parade

Commandery of Pennsylvania.
In last weeks issue of this paper
a suggestion was made with regard to
granting the franchise to the proposed
Trolley Company in this city, but 1t
was not intended in an unfriendly
spirit. On the contrary, we believe the
privileges should be granted under rea-
sonable conditions, and that the troll
ley would eventually prove benefit to
the town.
We understand, however, that some
parties are trying to induce Council to
put such unreasonable conditions on
the privileges that the only reasonable
conclusion is that they are trying to
kill the project in that way. AS for
instance, that the privileges shall re-
vert to the city in twenty years.
