Senator Newlands insisted that the
proper remedy was for amendments

VILLAGE TRUSTEES ASKED FOR ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
Inc Board Asked to Give the Use Of the Streets for Another Electric Lighting Systematic
Application Not Only Very Indefinite but Requires Two Years for Completion

On general principles the writer is
opposed to city or municipality
giving away its streets to corpora
tions without such corporation max.
ing or giving the city concessions OF
value. And this Is only where 1t is
not practicable for the city to own
its own municipal utilities. In brie-
fly discussing the merits or demerits
of the franchise which was asked for
at the hands Of the village trustees
at the last meeting, 1t Is our aim to
treat the question with the same de.
gree Of fairness we would like ouIsel.
yes under the same circumstances
and conditions. In advance, we will
say that we have no personal feeling
against N. /. Andrews, the applicant
In this case, but will say that he is
a good citizen and highly respected
by the people who know him.
We believe 1T is incumbant upon
the board OF village trustees to give
all franchises the closest scrutiny,
and the greatest possible delibertaion
before being passed or rejected. In
this case especially there seemed no
apparent resaon why the rules should
be suspended and the franchise passed
at one sitting. II the city was in
darkness, or 1t was the intention to
erect the plant at once, or for any
other reason which could be adduced
that the applicant should have the
franchise forthwith, then IL might
be different. The applicant present
ed the franchise at or about IL
O'Clock at night, and then insisted
that the rules should be suspended
and 1t passed that evening The
board thought 1t advisable to adjourn
until the following day, when the
question was again taken up. Had
1t not been for the chairman, who
would not vote to suspend the rules,
the franchise would have been grant
ed at this session without consulting
the wishes Of the people In regard TO

the matter.
Through the courtesy OF City Clerk
Lnaesdorf we have been permitted t.
study this application, and must say
1t is indefinite, misleading, and
should not be passed, IL at all, unless
there has been several amendments
attached, and many OF the sections
very materially changed. This Is no
more than the duty the board owes
to the city and the peoble. II this
franchise should be passed under its
present conditions and wording, the
city OF the future would have much
TO condemn this board for In what
they evidently considered that they
we're doing for the benefit Of the city.
1t strikes us that the board, or that
portion who were In favor OF sus.
pending the rules and granting this
franchise, were too hasty In their
conclusions and took too much for
granted without giving the question
serious consideration.
we Will take up the franchise and
discuss 1t pro and con as 1t occurs TO
US after reading IL carefully and do
so as briefly as possible. In Sec
tion /" 1t says, "Wires on poles shall

but 1t would mean that II would per-

elevation Of fifteen feet bali way be-
tween the poles.
