SUGGES TONS

In summing up the whole thing
there are dozen different ways the
public should expect some subshn-
tai benefit from granting these val
uable franchises at the hands OF the
city councilmen. who are the guard
ians of the taxpayers, interests. who
are helpless unless the council comes
to their aid and rescua.
The council ought TO get together
and carefully CANVASS the matter
and make the following require
ments among others:
First-A fair cash consideration.
second-so much tax on every
pole and additional pole yearly.
Third-Each year the council to
regulate the price Of gas and cleo
tricity by measure.
Fourth-Require certain, voltage
and SERVICE especially light fur
nished ON Sunday.
Fifth-Require the company to
furnish digit TO any and all parts Of
the city upon application, as 1t is q
common carrier the same as other
ifranchised companies.
p Sixth-Reserve the right to re-
move the plants to unpopulated
parts OF the city, where public wor-
ship. hotels and business will not be
disturbed.
h Seventh--Light the streets OF the
city to certain stipulated amount
not less than $4,000 free of charge.
and. also provide lights for the
court house yard. and one in par
ticular SO that the town clock may
be seen after night, as 1t used tc
be before the light was removed

Mr.. McGoerge's standpoint ON the
applied-for gas and electric franz
chise was q step in the right direc-
ton. but his most serious objection
was the time asked for. However.
the life Of the, franchise. does mot
cut 90 much ague as the fact that
the council should regulate the
franchise from year to year.
Such q franchise Is very valuable,
as all know, from the fact that but
few years ago Mr.. R. 4. Lown-
des and Mr.. A. NJ. \. Cunningham
offered $50. 700 for the water works
rights herewith, and. all know chat
this is mot near so valuable as the
gas and electric light franchise.
The city council in 1908 granted
A. N. T. Cunningham an electric
light franchise. which was DATED
by Frank r. Moore. wise aand far
sighted councilman. and, that like
the Stout gas franchise later, was i
step in the right direction, providing
for stipulated annual payments Of
money to the city for the right to
use the streets. and a number OF
other wise requirements, at the sug.
gestion of Mr.. Moore. were incorpo.
rated in the Cunningham franchise
all of which together with still more
should now be taken into considera.
tion as to the one which is being
asked for.
An exclusive franchise. proper au-

therefore void. Such franchise
would be of great moment and en-.

ton as might take place and mil.
lions of dollars might be gotten by
those who are granted such fran.
chise for IT an hour after the same
was granted.
The old company has good man,
friends. It is true. Some say II
has a large bonded debt, but owine
to the franchise being so valuable
some of its stock has sold above
par.
Franchises should be sources OF
rev nue. to the city, and, instead Of
paying in the neighborhood of ST..
600 a year for the privilege Of sl..
ting under a poor light to grant the
privilege, the right sort Of fran.
chise would be a source of revenue
and help to relieve the city of debts

Covered Milk Pals,

The advantages of using covered
pals with small openings are appar
ent from the fact that we have shown
that one of the most prolific causes OF
contamination is from the COW and
stable at the time of milking. says f.
E. Dawley. superintendent of New
York farm Institutes. When these
small topped pals were first intro
duced into my own stables the men
claimed that they could not milk into
them. but when one OF them was re-
minded that one Of his diversions was
milking into the mouth of cat sitting
up on her hind legs his objection was
readily overcome. All utensils used in
milking or in handling the milk should
be thoroughly sterilized. 1t is not
enough that the pals and cans be
washed; they should be thoroughly
scalded with steam or boiling water.
In all dairy operations sal soda should
be used instead Of soaps.

Pure Water For the Cow,

The healthy animal should be pro
vided with a constant supply of pure
water. The statement that the COW
prefers dirty water is false. The COW
prefers dirty water if it is of more
suitable temperature than the clean
water offered, but clean water With
the chill taken off will be preferred to
the same water full of filth. 1t is
hardly reasonable to expect that the
COW is going to produce pure and
wholesome milk when she 3 has to
drink water full of dangerous organ
isms. Many epidemics in the herds
have been traced to the impure water
supply. If the COW is drinking water
which is likely to make her sick, it is
hardly safe to use her for milk.
