Wisconsin
Legislature
Argue ON Franchise Bill.


CAS- q result of the legislation in
wisconsin not single electric railway
company has been Incorporated in this
State in the last two years" was one
of the statements made by j. |. Beggs,
of Milwaukee. before the joint commit
tees on transportation. Mr.. Beggs in
the role of president and general man
ager of the Milwaukee Electric Rail-
way and Light Company and the Mil
waukee Light. Heat and Traction Com
pany, appeared before the committee
to argue against the passage of the
John T. Kelly amendment TO the BERN
er indeterminate franchise bill. No.
1884. The Socialist measure of Mr..
Berner contemplates making indeter-
inmate the franchises of public utility
corporations. The Kelly amendment
places electric railways under the same
rule. Mr.. Beggs objects to the object
of the bin and the amendment. The
act Of 1907 greatly strengthened and
protected the electric railways" said
Mr.. Beggs, "but this new proposed act
would greatly weaken them. As the
laws now exist it is next to impossible
to launch any new electric railway
project This new provision not only
would preclude the possibility of open
Ing up new country with trolley lines.
but would endanger the safety of pres
ent railways. What person will buy
bonds of Wisconsin corporations when
the franchises have no stated time in
which to run? If any city or town in
which a railway operates is given the
privilege of buying up the property at
any time, what will our bonds be
worth?. In closing his argument Mr..
Beggs said that the passage Of the bill
and the amendment would make void
practically every street railway fran
chise in Wisconsin, and that passage
would sound the knell of trolley devel'
opment in this State.

Mortgage Made seventy Years Ago
Completes Title of Land.
A land patent and a mortgage seventy
years old. and mortgage release sixty-two
years old, were fled the other day with
the register of deeds at Milwaukee. The
patent was granted by the territory of
Wisconsin, TO Calvin and Elisha p Trow-
bridge on August 3, 1889. They gave the
territory mortgage for $329.S9, which
was released on May 81, 1S45. None of
the papers had been recorded They
have been on file 1T Mineral Poiat, capt.
tai of Wisconsin territory. The property
was sold by the territory TO get money
with which to construct the Milwaukee
and Rock River canal The deal was
made by the canal commissioners, and
the patent was issued by Gov. Henry
Dodge. The release of the mortgage was
acknowledged by Justice of the Peace
William A. Prentice, later mayor o. Mil
waukee. The land sold is 146 IS acreS in
extent, comprising about forty city
blocks. 1t lies in the town of Greenfield.
The filing of the papers in Milwaukee
County completes the chain of title to the
property, which has been divided and
has passed through many hands since.
