Memorial to Municipal Authorities.

The Board Of Trade and Transportation has in

posed memorial says In part:
Past experience has demonstrated that the most
potent corrupting force in municipal government is
be found in the great private profit ana the lax
public control which now characteristic OF long

functions of which the city should not be diyested
The city can control completely only when It

spect- In other words, the grant terminabe at the
VIII OF the city authorities at compensation pro-
vided for the original grant is the only kind or
q grant under which the city can be sure Of its
ability to dominate the situation at all times
Contemporary discussion indicates that either the
passenger transit service of the city will be far
more effectively controlled by the city than hereto
fore has the case. or that the city must itself
directly operate it's transit system. We urge upon
your honorable body that the former policy Of eff

power to resume all franchise grants on pre-aT.
