Another Objection.

And In this connection II should be re-
membered that. in consideration OF the
franchise, the company has heretofore Of
fered to pay car tax OF $50 per annun
per ear, which Is twice the amount re-
quired 10 be paid by any other street car
or lnterurban company, and while offer
ing to do this. the company has only
asked for franchise permitting Il TO buy
the right to operate its cars over the lines
Of the Utah Light and Railway company
which now occupy the streets, and under
the proposed franchise the company is not
granted the right to lay any additional
tracks on the streets, and therefore no al
ditional burden would be imposed upon
them except the passage OF the additional
cars over tho tracks already constructed
and that only for period Of about three
months out OF the twelve, as 10 any con-
aide IA BILE number OF cars. So that the
company has really offered to pay sub
stantialiy eight times the amount OF car
tax which any other company pays.

Too Far From Center.

"Thc franchise AZ granted only gives
the company the right TO go up town as
far as West Temple street, which would
necessitate a transfer from the street
car lines or require the people to
walk q block In order 10 get from one
line 20 the other, and this condition Of
affairs would be no better. as far as the
public convenience is concerned, than
The arrangement which now exists, be-
cause many people would prefer to
transfer rather than walk the required
distance. and when once on the car they
might as well ride three or fonr blocks
as one. Besides, the facilities for trans
ferring are better from the present de-
pot than they would he from West Tenn
pic street The company Is, therefore.
OF the opinion that under the proposed
franchise it could not render service that
would be satisfactory either TO the pub
lie or to the company.
THE company is also of the opinion that
the requirement made upon il TO pave

proach OF the Yiaduct TO the west side OF
