Public Utility Natural Monopoly.

Coming 10 certain important questions
in connection with franchise contracts
between cities and public utility COM
panies. the committee took the ground
that a public utility. within a given ur-
ban community. is a natural monopoly.
and that one of the first and essential OH
legations OF such a monopoly is to extend
It's service to meet all the legitimate
needs Of the community. Accordingly.
the nun cipal authorities ought 10 have
tho right To initiate extensions. and the
rcaSonableuesS Of any particular en-
tension should not b1 determined solely
ly the prospective profit from its opera
ton a. a separate unit. but by its effect
upon the profits of tho entire system.
The committee recommended the in
dctermnate franchise. with maximum
time limit, on the principle of the recent
traction settlement franchises granted
In Chicago, Cleveland and New York city.
Opposition to the Wisconsin type OF in
dcteriunatc permit Was based on tire
fes,r that il tends to become perpetual H.
Il can .. terminated only bN purchase
and purchase means payment of the fun
value in cash in a lump sum 1T the time
Of purchase. This. il Was said. tends to

The committee favored tho idea of max.

selves. even under private opera ton, by
means 81 aH amortization fund mann

h. large enough at least To wipe out AL
franchise and othe" intangible elements
Of capital value. that the price AT
which the city can buy will lie kept well
within the actual value Of the physical
property
Control of LongTerm Franchises.
The committee urged the Importance OF
a systematic campaign FOR thx recovery
OF control over the perpetual and long
term franchises now outstanding. so long

McNaushtOn's Fate Up
To Gov Elect SlatOH

Atlanta, May 8.-Gov. Brown
has refused absolutely to grant
either communication pardon in the
case of DR.. w. J. McNaughton,
under sentence to die for the MUIR
der of Fred Flanders.
AS the time for Gov. Browns
Browns going out of Office draws
nearer, attorneys for McNaugh-
ton have redoubled their efforts
to get a communication or pardon,
but Gov. Brown has never chang
ed the attitude he first assumed
in the case. He has respited
McNaughton over and o7er again
because he did not think the man
should be executed until Mrs.
Flanders, accused with him of
the crime, was brought to trial.
The last respite sets the Nc
Naughton execution at Septem-
Der 5. On that date Governor
John M. Slaton will be in office,
and whether McNaughton is les
pited further or saved from the
gallows by any other executive
Intervention will depend entirely
on him.
