SPOKANE-One of the most bitter
and most determined fights which has
taken place in Spokane IN many years
has been waged for over a year upon
the applications of the North Coast
and Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railroads for franchises to en-
ter the city. That is, 1t has been
more than year since the first ap-
plicatiOn for a franchise was made,
and neither has yet been granted.
The fight is not yet entirely over.
but it Is fact generally conceded
that the City Council will admit the
railroads without the terminal rate
clause, and upon such other terms as
will be acceptable to the roads.
The one point which remains unset
tied in the public mind is whether the
franchises should be put to a popular
vote before they become valid.
