PASSED THE FRANCHISE.
The Slusser Electric Light Fran
chise Passed by the Council
Several Amendments Made.

session Monday night with the
mayor presiding and all councilmen
present.
The ordinance, granting fran
chise to the Bear Lake Valley Rail-
way d Electric company the right
to operate an electric light system
within the city, came up for third
reading and final passage. The clerk
read section one, whereupon Coun-
Gilman Cruikshank offered an amend
ment providing that the wires OF
said company be placed "not less
than three feet under the surface of
the streets, alleys or public high
ways through which they pass. !"
The amendment was not seconded.
and upon motion the original section
of the ordinance was passed, all
councilmen voting Yes, except

To section 2, Cruikshank offered
an amendment providing that the
indemnity bond to be furnished by
said company be in the sum of $685.
600 instead of $5, 900. To this sec-,
ton he also offered the following
amendment: Gin the further con-
slderation of the granting of this
franchise it is ordained aud the
grantees hereby agrees that on and
after Jan. i, 1906, SIX arc lights of
equal power and efficiency to those
now IN use IN said city, shall he
furnished free of charge to the city
during the life of the franchise, and
after Jan. l, 1909, six additional
arc lights shall be furnished free
during the remainder Of the life of
this franchise, and in addition the
grantee agrees to supply free of cost
all necessary lights for lighting the
city council chamber. city offices,
fire stations and city jails, during
the life OF the franchise.
The amendment was seconded by
Rich, and then followed consider
able discussion upon the section and
amendment. Whitman thought that
$25, 900 bond was so high that it
would prohibit the company from
coming in, and the number of free
arc lights asked for was too many.
IN view of the fact that the Mont
pelier light company was not re-
quired TO furnish a single one free
at the time it's franchise was granted
In supporting his amendments.
Cruikshank said that if the Slusser
company couldn't furnish $25. 600
bond, $4,000 bond would be
worthless. He thought the amount
of bond he asked for was small !
enough. Regarding the furnishing
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1905-10-20

GUS error IN not demanding certain
number of free lights from the
Montpelier light company, was no
reason why the present council
should make the same error in
granting franchise to Mr., Slusser.
Then, too, conditions are different
now, he said, than when the fran
chise was granted to the Montpelier
company. AT that time the city
had no electric lights and the coun-
Gil in it's eagerness to help this sin
FAINT industry" and enable the city
to secure electric lights was prob
ably one reason why no free lights
were exacted from the company.
He believed that in granting this
franchise, which would doubtless be
worth many thousand dollars to the
company in the near future, the city
should demand some concessions;
it was not asking for any money
and he thought the number of free
lights asked tor in his amendment
was trifling concession to ask from
the company.
Rich suggested that the time the
lights be furnished free should be
fixed at four years, or during life of
the present contract for street light
ing with the Montpelier company.
AT that time he thought the two
companies would submit bids for
street lights, and the city would be
able to get quite amber of free
lights from the company which Sc
cured the contract.
Whitman offered an amendment
fixing the bond at $40, 200 instead
of $25, 900, which was seconded by
Hugbart. The vote resulted as fol-
lows: Yes-Whitman, Hughart and
Dana; No-Rlch, Cruikshank and
Jones. The mayor voted No and
the amendment was lost.
A vote was then taken upon
Cruikshank's amendments, and re-
suited as follows: Yes-Rich,
Crulkshank and Jones; No-Whit-
man, Hughart and Dana. The
mayor voted Yes.
At this point City Attorney Cough
called attention to the fact that the
statutes provided that call ordln.
'nces shall require for their passage
'he concurrence of a majority of all
members elected to the council.o I
Ihereupon the mayor withdrew bis
1ote and declared the Cruikghank
amendment lost.
Cruikshank then moved that the
ordinance be laid on the table. The
notion was seconded by Jones, but
was lost by the following vote: ,

/The council met Tuesday night
pursuant to adjournment and took
up for consideration section two
of the Slusser franchise ordinance.
Rich offered to amend the section
by increasing the indemnity bond
to $4,000 and providing that the
company be permitted to place poles
and string wires upon streets where
but one line now exists and upon
the streets where there are now lines
of wires on each side the company'e
wires shall be placed under ground;
also that from Jan l, 1906 10 Jan |,
1909, the company shall furnish free
to the city six arc lights of the same
pOWer as those now furnished nv
the Montpelier light company.
Cruikshank offered to amend by
providing that the SIX arc lights
should be furnished free 10 the city
during the life of the franchise.
This amendment was lost by the
following vote: Yes-Cruikshank,
Jones and Dana; No-Rich, Whit
man and Hughart.
The vote was then taken upon
Rich's amendment, which carried
oy all the councilmen voting in the
affirmative.
With a few minor amendments
Ind the addition of two sections the
ordinance was then passed section

The council then adjourned.

precisely the same grounds-expensive-
ness-years ago. Yet there is today not
a railway in the country that would cast
aside these appliances if it could. There
are single and double-tracked roads in
the east, south and midwest which are
operating the ''block system" today, and
the increased cost of operation is so slight
as to receive scarcely any special mention
in the annual reports of the railways to
their shareholders. Moreover, every rail-
way in the British isles is operated under
a "black' or staff SYSTEM" and to all
intents and purposes they are the same
without any added cost in the way of
operation. sufficient to worry either the
directorate or the shareholders.
For the benefit of the general reader,
perhaps it may be well to indicate the
difference between tn operation of Amr-
lean and English railways, and offer a
few comparative figures. In the begin
ming, this startling fact appears: Dur
ing the fiscal year of 1904 there was not
a single casualty among passengers on
an English railway, and this despite the
fact that English railways carry more
than twice as many people every year as
the American railways.
The trains of Great Britain, according
to the statistics prepared by Mr.. James
d. Whelpley, travel 4O0000,00O miles
year.
The trains of America travel 100000 coo
miles year.

An independent Girl.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Grips, handbags, satchels and suit cases
are all disdained by a certain progressive
young woman. a student at the Academy
of the Fine Arts here.
She Is popular and often invited to the
week ends. outwardly this young woman
student is as irreproaehabe and correct
as a Partisan fashion plate. Her snug
tailor-made suit does not contain any
more than the usual supply of heart and
lungs and other necessary organs, and the
required strata of dainty lingerie but
that's part of the deception
Her hat comes off first Inside the
crown there Is collection of toilet arti-
'cles. hand-glass. nall file and package
of hairpins. The shedding Of her coat re-
veals the fact that she wears two waists:
one trig shirt waist, as prescribed by
the cult Of the tailor made, the other a
soft, fiimsy article. such as would grace
any occasion short of a Philadelphia as
sembly. In the language of the turf she
wins by n neck too for under the Sc
we're lines Of the Gothic tailor made stock
Is concealed a fixing that Is as sheer and
as delicate in its traeeries as the first
frost on the maple trees.
But 1t Is the sleeves Of her coat that
are the especial, particular repository for
appurtenances, and they vary in number
according TO the size of the up-to-date
sleeve. The humble but necessary tooth
brush comes first, and is followed by the
comb, which comes down in the general
avalanche on the bed beside the hair
brush. handkerchefs stockings and the
extra belt Sleeve number two contains
the evening gloves and the light veil.

RAILWAY CASUALTIES.
English Roads Much Safer Than
Those in America.

Gerald Austen in the Pilgrim for May.
Railway journalists have within the
past two months sought to discount the
casualty figures, which in the reports
of the interstate commerce commission
are available to every one, by limiting at
the large number of deaths which have
been sustained by "trespassers' upon
railway property. 1t is true that many
careless persons are each year destroyed
by railway trains, but does this In the
slightest measure serve to make less hor-
lifying the shocking number of deaths
and injuries among the travellers in trains?
One is inclined to think not. 1t is not
the percentages of deaths among tres
passers with which we are concerned, but
among those whose lives should be safe
guarded to the limits of human ingenu-
ity.
If. YOU say. the "blocx system is an
almost infallible preventive of railway
accidents, why do not the roads install
and maintain the system generally. The
RAILWAYS interest in the safety of their
passengers is bounded on all four sides
bv the dividends. The railway manager
will tell you that railways. even as it is.
are really starving to death. and that the
installation of the "block system" would
serve to decrease still further the div-
bends which thousands of common Amer
lean men and women shareholders look
for semi-annually. Yet it is well for the
reader to understand that the installa-
tion of the automatic air-brake and every
other safety appliance now in general
use on American railways, was contested
by the railways quite as hotly and on
