franchise with their votes and infu-

city, and are pleased to note that they

fully protect franchises granted them.
/ also note that they do not hold ex-

laws of our state do not admit the
granting Of exclusive franchises which
every citizen will admit is a good law.

the franchises it will be seen that the
franchises to be voted upon for elec-

parry, and this may account In part lot
the mayors recalling the Bailey iran
chises from the Times Republican
press after they had been passed ana
admitted to be fair by the mayor ana
commission as we'll as the city attorney,
and had been agreed to by myself, ana
an attempt made to tack on come an
solutely prohibitive clauses whlch
would have made these franchises
worthless. 1t seems to be somewhat OF
a mystery who was instrumental IN
this attempt. as Mr.. Herman. one OF
the commission states that he knew
nothing of this change to be made IN
these franchises until they were pre-
scented in the council meeting. MT.
Lamb also states that he knew moth
ing about such prohibitive clauses be-
ing written, or he would have MADE op-
lection to them. 1t must be up to the

low price before franchises were asked
for, but did not see fit to do so.
Competent engineers assure us that
the heating proposition can not be
made paying investment without cleo
tricity as a by-product. For this rea-
son the Bailey franchises are asked for,
and not for the purpose of annoying
the present company as the LEGAL COM
ment states. Many other reasons are
available why Marshalltown, like al
most all other cities, in our state, has
not central heating plant, and will be
forthcoming If necessary.
The ice proposition spoken Of can be
made very attractive proposition in
connection with the central heating
station plant. and is now being carried
on in connection with the same in a
number of cities in Iowa and nearby
states.

TAXES INCREASED ONCE.
Case Of. a $500 House Assessed at 5000
and X Was Raised

Editor Times Republican, find
that those who fought me two years
ago are now pushing along the story
that we are trying to increase taxes
when our instructions We're to equalize
the high-priced properties in proper
tiGn TO the homes of the poor. For in
stance we found a ten-room house
on 90x120-foot lot worth $500, val
ued for taxation at 5000. while five
room cottage on the hack sixty feet of
the same lot, worth $4,000, was valued
al s1,100 for taxation. In this case we
raised taxes but our total valuation of
houses and lots for the entire city has
not been increased.
