= Indeed, it may be asserted that what
ever is possessed today in valuable priv
i7leges and franchises by the Traction
itCompany have been obtained from the
city through the intermediary of friend
i1y relations, for song.
And what has the Traction Company
ever conceded in acknowledgement ex-
cept when compelled by legal suit to do
isome of its part in the repavlng of the
streets and in the fulf1lnent of other
r obligations
II If the franchise granted in 1892 was
of little value then, the franchises held
Iby this company today have been esti-
innated at several hundred thousand dol
BARS. but what is offered as an equivalent
, TO the city today in consideration of fhe
demands of this corporation?
The equivalent is specified in section
J 1 of the ordinance adopted by the Conn-
Gil March 30. IoIr, reads:
