VIII Keep Up Fight.
The Hencico Railway has not given
UP the fight, however, and claims that
even in the face Of an adverse report
from the Committee on Streets, 1t will
muster enough votes to put the fran
chise through the City Council. The
former Council. it claims. settled once
and for all the question Of competition
in public service. by ordering the ad-
vertisement of the franchise for bids.
As to the validity of the grant. they
point to the opinion OF Assistant City
Attorney Anderson, who has advised
that in his opinion the paper originally
prepared by counsel for the Henrico
Railway Is a valid one, although Col
onel Anderson adds that it is not such
a franchise as he would himself have
drawn. Colonel Anderson has advised
the committee that it is within the
province of the Council at any time
that the rates here become unreason-
able or the service unsatisfactory. to
prepare it's own model franchise, with
out suggestion Of partisan attorneys,
and advertise it for sale to the highest
bidder.
