for use of streets in conducting its
business. This being feature of the
telegnaph business, and in view of the
arrangements between the two cor
portations, the Western Uuion can
handle this service without special
franchise from council. Our streets
are well filled with telegraph, tele;
phone and electric light poles; there
is some probability also, of the Postal
Telegraph company, coming to Bruins
wick, I'm which event, space will be
needed for their poles etc. Under the
circumstances, we see NO necessity
for any franchise; but if desired by
the applicants, would recommend,
that franchise be granted to- operate
the service, by means of, and with
the appliances of the Western Union
Telegraph company, but in its pres
| ent shape, and the meagre infOrmd-
| tion in command in the premises, we
| beg to report unfavorably ON the or
dinance. We think the ordinance and
all other ordinances, granting fran
! chises, should be accompanied by pc
| tition, setting forth fully such informa-
| tion as will enable council, and the
public at large to form an intelligent
judgement of the merits thereof
