MAYOR RICHARDSON'S DECISION.

! In approving tho ordinance granting
the Richmond and Henrico franchise
Mayor Richardson had to satisfy him
self that tho ordinance is legal and
that it IS demanded By sound public
policy. The opinion of City Attorney
Pollard left him but enc course to
pursue as to the legality of tho grant.
and that was to hold it legal but
there remained the question of policy.
which Mayor Richardson also answer
ed ahrmatively
4 approved the ordinance because I
could not consent to create or protect
n monopoly and thus secure to one set
or persons special privileges which
would have been denied to others
was the reason of the Mayors decision.
The main question was. however, not
whether a monopoly should exist The
main question was. what shall t pro-
1T the city to grant this franchise? 20
Would it not have been better to
create and protect" q monopoly and
regulate st than to open up the field
to war to the death competition in

have to buy out tho other and weigh
down tho people with burdens instead
Of endowng them with benefits Re-
drce the reasoning Of the Mayor to
is logical conclusion and it would be
right to grant unlimited franchises. for
ii no set Of persons can have SPEC al
privileges it follows tina, all may en-
ter the competition ana increase cna-
lessly the ultimate burden upon the
people of the city.
The Dispatch does not agree
In tho position taken by the city
Council, the Mayor approving bat the
future IS to judge as to who was right
ana who. was wrong In this contro-
versy. If the franchise falls to be-
come an ultimate burden upon the poo
pie, the experience of years viii have
been reversed. The Times DISPATCH
VIII submit to the test OF time to sec
whether or not the city has adopted a
wise and beneficial policy in the IN
torest OF the people.
