THAT CASH GUARANTEES,

The city council has taken a com
mendable stand with reference to the"
new electrical franchise. In doing so
they are merely following a precedent
they themselves have estabIished-tae
requiring of a guarantee in the form
of a cash bond. When the Vinewood
railway asked for a franchise the
council required a cash guarantee of
$4,000. though the capital stock was
only slO0.0 600. When the city railway
asked for a franchise a $1,000 guar
antee was required. When the natural
gas company secured the right to do
business in Topeka $1,000 was de-
posted with the city, the capital stock
being only $4,000. Incidentally. the
city got the $1,000 deposited by the
gas company, as it failed to begin
work a the time specified.
Topeka has dealt out franchises
with lavish hand. Any promoter
who asked for franchise to use the
streets Of Topeka was given what he
asked for and valuable franchises
worth thousands Of dollars which be-
longed to the people of Topeka have
been given away while other cities
have profted materially by granting
similar concessions.
1t has been charged that the new
electrical franchise is simply a hold
up; that it is to be used as g club by
which a disappointed employe can beat
his old employers into submission The
city of Topeka can not afford to be
party to such a transaction. 1t is pos
sible that the charges are not true, but
if the enterprise is legitimate there
should be no opposition to a good sized
cash guarantee. The city council
should also fix a specified time for the
beginning and completion of the plant
This would force the new company to
make a showing and it would be soon
found whether 1t is in reality a bona
fde organization or such one as the
Edison company claims.
The city council of Topeka or any
other city for that matter can afford
to be cautious in granting franchises.
This is a good time to pause, look and
listen."s

as the fasteners about their health
and other matters of personal con-
