 Once the franchise is granted and the construction and equipment is financed group of people-in many instances very great many people-must regard the enterprise with sufficient to undertake it's opera tion These individuals constitute officials and en- ployees.
 Put into operation the enterprise must be regarded with sufficient public favor to gain public patronage, for without patronage the enterprise is destined to failure.
 Having gained public patronage, the enterprise must render specific service for which the public is fav- orably disposed to pay fair price
