FRANCHISE AND PUBLIC INTEREST.

ANY franchise which may be granted to the
Richmond Power Corporation, which is asking
the right TO transmit electrical power from the
Midlothian coal mines 10 Richmond and other
cities should BE- drawn with careful regard both
10 the interests Of the city and to the safeguard
ing Of the immense investment of the present
company operating under city authority.
The Subcommittee which has drafted suasti.
tute franchise for that applied for seems to have
had these two considerations fairly IN mind.
The whole question, however, is complicated, and
the magnitude of the interests at stake jnsti-
hes even longer and more careful consideration.
II is true that the city is most progressive
which looks with favor upon enterprise of this
character. The cry of undue competition is apt
10 be bogy put toward by interests animated
with desire for monopoly. But it must not be
forgotten that the public service corporation
which undertakes adequately to serve city
necessarily serves large portions OF It's territory
al loss instead Of at profit. 10 establish COM
petition, therefore, in profitable districts is
times to take away the advantage and leave the
burden Fair treatment to the corporation in
such state OF affairs calls for the exercise Of the
highest equity.
In the at hand, Mr.. Pollard's suggestion
Of liked requirement for the doing OF material
amount of work upon plant before the street
rights shall accrue is the part of wisdom and eau
ton. Although the men at the head OF the cor
poration seeking adniittanee 10 the city are Of a
character to indicate that the enterprise is con-
celyed iii good faith and has future Of value to
Richmond, it must be kept IN mind that it would
! be possible, BY enabling new company to un-
warrantably come into competition with the old
to injure the ends ri service in the city and its
suburbs generally.
WHAT'S Of prime importance to the people is
service III public utilities as full, free. and IN.
expensive as IL consistent with efficiency. The
matter OF franchises Is, indeed, simply a question
OF the public interest in parting with a portion
Of It's own property TOR its own benefit Such a
