PEOPLES FORUM
Mr.. Coleman Explains.

Editor of The Virgnan:
Sir.--In your paper of Saturday am reported.
in discussing the Featherston railway extension
bin before the Senate committee, as saying:
"A street car line owes no more duty to the
public than any private corporation. Its hrst
duty is to make money and to invest 1t as 1t
pleases.'
Your reporter misunderstood me. | certain
IL did not intend to make any such statement.
and am sure | did not What | sailor in
tended to say--was that when persons organize
a street railway company. their primary pur-
pose is make money on their investment, and
not to give their capital to the public. and that
the Legislature cannot compel such company
to extend It's line to any length the public may
demand. even II 1t should be made to appear. in
advance that such extension would in all prob
ability prove profitab because the Legislature
has right to compel any citizen to invest
his means in enterprise which in his judg
ment wouldt be profitable. however. we'll salts
fed the Corporation Commission any other
department of the government might be that
the enterprise would pay; and that the fact that
such company Is willing voluntarily to take the
chances of extending its line in one direction,
where the company owns property. would not
authorize the Legislature to compel it also to
extend its line In the opposite direction to the
property of other persons; that company has
the right to construct line TO its own WI prop
ertY Without thereby rendering Itself liable to
be compelled also to construct a line to the
property OF individual or individuals in an
other direction.
AS Illustrating my position, the development
of the RNermont addition to the city of Lynch
burg by the Rivermont company was cited. The
projectors or tnat enterprise DouRnt up the
lands in Rivermont and connected them with the
city by a broad and beautiful avenue, very
costly steel viaduCt. spanning otherwise i'm
passable gulch, and a street railway. Surely
the RiVermont Company could not be compelled
on the demand of the citizens the opposite
side of the city. to extend its line OF street rail-
way to the latter locality even though II might
be shown that such extension would be profitable
to the company. In constructing avenue, a
viaduct and a street railway from It's own lands
to the city. the company could not be said to
have Disseminated against the locality in the
opposite direction from the city.
Respectfully,
I r COLEMAN

CITY MUST CONTROL HOSPITAL

Admit that Richmond is too big and i'm
portant a city to much longer labor under The
reproach that. as a municipality, it maintains
nc public hospital for its INDECENT sick
Admit further. that the offer of the vii
nams corporation 10 deed the Memorial
Hospital Richmond for that purpose. on the
agreement of the city to assume an indebted
ness of $4,000 and take over the manage
ment of the institution, is at once generous and
enteing..
The fact remains that the city Will be
hitting a fundamental error if it shall accept
the gift upon terms which would leave the
control of its property by the city incon-
elusive matter
There should be no objection to the present
owners of the property having extensive
presentation of the hospital board. The in
stitution is a memorial expressive of a deep
sentiment and founded in a spirit of love and
charity q 1t is proper that by self perpertua-
ton the ideal that moved it's first founder
should continue to find expression in its man
agement through the years,
But II the city is 10 take this gift as the
basis OF what it must ultimately provide in any
event, the city itself should have the contro-
ing voice. A public hospital is founded not
for today. or for tomorrow, this year or
: year. wneu it is established, II VIII at once
become permanent institution If it
had always existed All confidence might be,
and is. placed in the men proposed the ma
lority of the first self perpetuating board. But
what the future holds. man can say. What
friction might in the future arise is matter
beyond speculation, a city cannot afford any
sort Of partnership with private interests how
ever high and however pure. unless the city
and not the private interests be invested with
the power of ultimate decision.
We trust that the committee having in charge
the preparation of plan under which the
city may take hold OF the property for the
purposes mentioned may agree upon something
which will be acceptable to both sides.

: Self perpetuation of the private members by
the private members could not, it,
be Objectionable But if the public hospital
is to be the public hospital of Richmond. to be
owned by Richmond. and managed by it, then
il is as clear as ANYTHING can be clear that in
the last analysis the city OF Richmond should
be the dominant power in its control.
