OVER
EDITH ST..
CONDUIT

Two Of the most powerful corporations
in Rhode Island are at swords points.
an alleged infringement upon franchise
rights being the cause OF controversy.
The Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing
Co. In the course Of certain improve
ments and engagements al its extensive
shops in this city. found II desirable TO
plan for the construction Of conduit
across Edith street. the conduit TO carry
the private electric cables OF the company
from one portion OF its plant TO another
thus completing its electrical system.
The Narragansett Electric Lighting COM
pany opposes the construction Of the con-
duit in question. claiming that under It's
franchise rights no private Individual or
corpora tion may use the city streets In
any way. shape or manner for the trans.
mission OF electricity.
Permission TO construct the conduit was
granted the Brown g. Sharpe Co. at the
very end Of the last legislative session, not
counting the memorable fzzle OF Sept. ls.
and the action OF the general Assembly
was endorsed by the board or aldermen
without the slightest opposition from the
Narragansett company.
The city ordinance permitting the con
struction OF the conduit was held UP by
the city council committee and the op-
position OF the electric lighting company
directed against IL on grounds previously
mentioned.
Yesterday afternoon the representatives
OF the contesting corporations appeared
before the council committee and for
several hours the arguments came thick
and fast from both sides
Walter II. Barney appeared "a counsel
tor the Narragansett company. while
James A. Piree OF Constock & Gard
ner defended the position OF Brown a
Sharpe.
In brief. the contention OF the Nara
gansett company Is that by its exclusive
franchise. granted In 1892 by the city and
10 hold until 1912. the plans OF the Brown
& Sharpe company cannot be approved
by the city without encroachment or
said franchise. The granting OF the pres
ent petition would establish an injurious
precedent by making II possible for cor
porations and individuals TO secure similar
privileges without restraint. thus serious
ly imperilling the value OF the Narragan'
sett company's franchise.
The claim OF the defendant corporation
Is that the conduit is planned and In
tended for private use and therefore |,
exempt from the restrictions set forth II
the franchise contract. The Brown &
sharpe company are DESTROYS OF having
the contest privilege decided TO the fines
reading of the law and are anxious I,
carry the question to an indisputable set
| tlement.
Henry D Sharpe of the defendant cor
poration offered a bond OF $4,000 TO cove
ony possible damage TO the city while
| lawsuit on this subject was pending.
The committee took the matter unde
consideration. City Solicitor Colwel va
present with the committee.
