To the Editor of The Times: | see
that in an article published in The
Times of Dec. u. John McVicar hays
the Thompson plan, in that II advo-
Gates franchise grant 10 the ID. U. r.
The grant. he says, is worth s25.OO0.-

who will carefully scrutinize and eX-

his mind that IL this franchise scheme
Is adopted by the voters. II may be
worth more than twice S25,000.0O0 TO
the ID. L. r. and mean an equal loss
to the city.
Ii is true that they claim all the
franchise rights in the city, as OF the
year 1911, under the Thompson plan,
will expire in 1924, but they will dis
cover that the u. u. r. will have a
contract that will be worth much
more TO them than any franchise that
can be written on paper Then the
people will realize that there is some
truth in what Mr.. Ferguson is telling
the Montreal bondholders, that there
is no danger of municipal ownership.
Municipal ownership may be brought
around under certain conditions that
will make the deal extremely profitable
10 the ID. Z. r., the city paying for
all the companys scrap, kindling
wood. watered stock and all the pres

property will be appraised by com

terms OF the plan, and conditions
therein, that appraisal will necessary

ers. In the last inning. will defeat the
