examined tho franchises to determine
whether the rights OF the public have
been protected and we are willing that
their opinions may be obtained what
ever they may be.
BOWS, SMITH, REED & COOK.
Mr.. Van Law said to the T.-R. today
that he had examined the pending
franchise ordinances with the purpose
of ascertaining for his own satisfac-
ton as to whether the legal rights OF
the city and it's people were adequately
protected in its provisions and he
found the provisions Of the ordinances
to his own satisfaction.
The firm of Carney & Carney said
tfthey had gone over the franchises
in detail and approved Of them espe-
cially on the points that all Of the
franchises can be revoked by the city
council if the grantees fail TO build the
street railway extensions promised
They hold that all of the franchises
are sound, that street car transfers
must be given, that none of the fran
chises are exclusive, that the phrase
ology of the franchises is clear and
understandable and that the public
statements made by grantees during
the election campaign are as binding
upon them as tho included within the
franchises.

Mayor Jones Starts Campaign Against
Fast DRIVING.


An effort to break up the habit
driving at night without lights has
been begun by Mayor w. H. Jones
With the purpose of enforcing the city
ordinances to the letter. During the
last twenty-four hours three drivers
have come under the ban for dlsre-
garding these ordinances.
c. R. Speers was summoned into the
mayors court this morning for fast
driving. He confessed to the charge
and admitted that when V. n. Han
sen drove up alongside of him on West
Main street about IL O'Clock Wednes-
Gay night the temptation for brush
was too great to be resisted. Officer
Charles Delahoyde spotted the cars as
they tore thru Main street, but they
weer going too fast for him to catch
their numbers. He followed them to the
garage and later the complaints were
filed The mayor assessed Speers $40
A similar charge is awaiting Hansen
when he returns from Chicago.
A charge of running a car at night
without lights has been filed against
L. R. Willard, altho it was known that
Mr.. Willard was out of the city. But
the car was being operated without
light and the family was notified to
send the mayor IS to settle. Later IT
was learned that Clyde Hamilton, 6.
II. Ruth's driver was driving the Will
lard car. and charge has been filed
against him Mayor Jones said Ham
ilton would be held for it if the Will
lards did not pay.

CITY LAWYERS APPROVE.

Franchise Declared By city's Attorneys
Sound in Law as to Promises.
There IS a circular out criticising US
because we have opened an office in
Marshalltown to explain our franchises
to the people and complaint is also
made that the newspapers editorially
have kept still. We have published
the franchises In every medium of
publicity in your city and have ex-
planned their principal provisions in
print over our own name almost every
day since the election was ordered
which, in law, would bind US to our
promises even If the franchises them
selves were faulty. We have certainly
been frank with the public. There has
been no lack Of publicity. We have
conducted the campaign openly over
our own name as a business transac-
ton with the people direct Our fran
chises when before the city council
were submitted to your city attorney,
Mr.. Northup. even before being pre-
scented to the council, and by him were
changed until he was willing to recon-
nerd them to the council as sound,
which he did do.

While at ii the committee also took
note of bad places on other streets
than those they went 20 inspect. The
only roads leading into the country
that they did not include in the trip
were South Third avenue and South
Twelfth avenue. They devoted their
time principally to the country roads
from the edge of the residence sec
lions to the city limits.
They found the East Main street
road east of the Linn creek bridge to
the north and south road of the city

and cut in places. and has evidently
not been dragged at all this season.
The north and south road to the Ma

Marion Street Needs Repair.
The Marion street road east of the
Country Club lane is as bad or worse
than the Main street ROAD. The road is
built on a dixie. 1t has the drainag e,
and all it needs is dragging when the
mud is plastic to put it in good con-

The North Third avenue road. as a
whole is the best kept country road
leading into the city. The worst part
of it is just north of the Third avenue
river bridge. For distance of quar-

bunny approaches to bridges make
this road bad.
The North Center street road. from

would make these places smooth.
North Third street. from the end Of
