The Herald is not in favor of granting
franchises to Tom, Dick and Harry.
All franchises should be carefully
considered and 1t is the duty Of the
council. who are the servants Of the
people, to largely follow their wishes.
No franchise should be granted II for

many of the charges against the pres

not sustained by the facts. Investi.
CATION will show that the Durango
plant is one of the best and gives ~
good service as any plant in the state;
that charges are below the averaSs
and In many instances much lower
than some favored localities. The
present company has expended large
sums of money each year In improv-
ing the plant and service. and many
OF the charges against the company
will not bear investigation. The man
