Mr.. G. f. Kirby. VIII, once acted as
chairman of a pubic committee which
reported adversely upon the Darling

chises and has approved them in a let
ter as follows:
Dows, Smith. Reed and Cook: Re-
garding the franchise. which you are
asking the citizens Of Marshalltown to
grant you;, I wish to say, that, so far as
I am able to judge. the proposition
which you make is very fair. and
should prove Of great = ADVANTAGE IS to
the city. grr.
1t seems to me. that it will be de-
cidedly to your advantage to develop
the gas and electric light plants to full
producing capacity, and make 1t to ev-
erv citizens interest to be consumer.
have always advocated the extern
sion and development OF the street car
system. and if I am rightly informed,
your contract with the city provides
absolutely for extensions which may be
all that can be expected: my conten-
ton is, and always has been, that
while the revenue for car service may
not be as large as from gas and cleo
tricity, yet the combined earnings of
all, will surely warrant positive street
car improvements and extensions.
If, therefore you are giving the city
u fair deal in this respect. most earn
estly favor the granting Of the fran
chise to you.
