Il Is my judgment that this can BE-
accomplished only By action Of your

View to the enactment By your hon.
orable body Of an ordinance to 20

aud while II may be- coniended that
authority for such action Ia not 70
served IN the franchise. | am con.
fident that the police powers of the
city are sufficient for the purpose.
but should you disagree with me
on this point, / believe that the
grounds are sufficient for action at
law. and should n come 70 this, I
would advise that Instructions be-
given BY your honorable body TO the
eity's law department 10 Institute
promptly the necessary legal pro.
ceedlngs to compel the company To
give equitable service to tho public

IN conclusion, I beg to state that
any public service enterprise must
BE- assured OF reasonable returns

thing earned by Il beyond this ls a
burden that should not DO imposed
upon the people, and I trust that In
the franchises applied for hereaft.

pr. Eugene Ober said this morning, referring to the alleged hiding of se eariet fever pIacards. that the doc tors and the members of the Board of Health ought to meet and talk the matter over.

 pr. Ober also said that the. pla- cards are not to inform the public at large. but to warn any person who may want to enter. A placard insid the vestibule of the house serves tn purpose as we'll as if it were posted under the bay window of the parior. and the family feels better.
