What City Seeks.
Can a duplicate main be secured this
time when the contract is renewed
This is one OF the things the city seeks
but 1t must seek 1t in connection with
the renewal Of the hydrant rental por-
tion of the franchise. II it can not
be done, the city may as well give up
the fight before 1t has gone further.
There is a difference of opinion on
the subject and the settlement must
either come in court or by amicabie
adjustment.
It becomes necessary to destroy the
impression that seems to have be-
come general among the citizens that
the franchise OF the company is ex-
piring and new one must be OBJ
tanned. The franchise will be per-
mitted to remain, in all probability,
as 1t now stands and the only altera-
ton come In connection with the n.y.
drant rental contract.
Argument Of Gates.
In discussing the subject with the
board of public works recently, Ed
win H. Gates. president of the com
pany and q heavy stakeholder. spoke
several times of a new franchise. He
suggested that the company prepare
a new franchise and the city prepare
another. The company's representa-
tives are to meet with the citys and
add to or eliminate until satisfac-
tory agreement is the result. 1t
would be gained from Mr.. Gates re-
mark he was under the impression an
entirely new franchise had become
necessary. It may be that in order to
bring about q revision Of the hydrant
rental matter. the company will pro-
pose to surrender its present franchise
and accept one entirely new in form.
but slightly different from the old in
details. II such a plan be undertaken
the city will be compelled to worry
with far larger proposition than It
appears on the face.
The fact the city has obtained con-
cessions previously when the COM
pany sought to renew it's contract
portion Of the franchise, perhaps may
be taken to augur something to the
city's advantage in future dealings.
