Hearing "UnoHeiaI.'

A hearing was held on the proposed
franchise before the Board of Estimate
Yesterday 1t was called an unofficial
hearing" The whole matter was re-
ferred to the Committee on Franchises.
consisting Of Mayor Mitchell, President
McAneny of the Board Of Aldermen
and President Mathewson of the Bor-
ough of The Bronx.
Although the petition of the Edison
Company and its subsidiaries asking
for this valuable franchise was filed
with the municipal authorities more
than a year ago-to be exact, on May
2S. 19l3-not a person appeared in OPP
position at yesterdays hearing.
This, The Tribune was informed last
niqht. was because not word had been
permitted, by those vitaIIy interested.
to leak out.
In brief, the franchise. If the city
grants it. and powerful interests are
urging the grant, will give the Edison
Company the following for practically
nothing:
A strip OF land thirty-three miles long
and $50 feet wide for its use FOR fifty
years.
This land runs along the Cstskill
Aqueduct lands from Putnam Valley
down to the The Bronx County line.
Complete Monopoly.
This franchise on it's face will mean
giving to the Edison Company and its
Westchester County subsidiaries a
complete MONOPOLY Of the sale and dis
tribution in Westchester County, in
Manhattan and The Bronx Of electrical
energy for the next fifty years.
This is obvious from the following
excerpt from the proposed form Of con-
tract:

and fifty thousand returned to this coun.
try from Canada in 1913. So is ap.
parent that the rush from the United
States to Canada is over, and that the
tide is turned.
Returning emigrants asked the usual
questions at the border, revealed the
fact that the overwhelming majority
are from northwestern Canada, and tina,
they crossed into Canada originally
through the border communities west OF
Lake Superior.
In other words,a very large proper
ton of them crossed Minnesota-many
of them came from Minnesota-to seek
their fortunes in aforeign land.
And in crossing Minnesota they pa ssed
by their greatest opportunity--or what
will be their greatest opportunity when
Minnesota adopts q busincsslike land
policy.
Minnesota in studying the question
whether It should continue its present
reactionary land policy or adopt pro-
gressive new one, should consider what
1t would mean ifitcould arrest and at
tractto its idle acres this tide Of enter
prising homcseekers. either coming or
going.
North Dakota also should see and
grasp its opportunity. Here is a chance
for good advertising work a,the border
towns. both to stop the argonauts, and
interest those coming back. North Da-
kota has the Canadian Northwest
skinned mile" but the people farther
south and TO the east do not know it.
Advertise and let them know of the vast
opportunities they are passing by.--Ex.

The Smart Sale.

1t is the prediction of the Her
aid that the Smart sale next
Wednesday is going to be one
of the biggest that has been
pulled off in the county this
year.
1t is going TO be big sale for
the reason that through ll.e Her
aid and the sale bills the people
of the county know about II, and
the further reason that Mr..
Smart will have for sale. there
what the people Want-cattle
and h1rses. and farm Tools
What is especially needed by
the newcomer just now is just
what MIR. Smart has for sale. 1t
takes both team force and cattle
TO make success in this country,
and here is the chance for the
new man to provide himself with
these two requisites.
The Smarts started here years
ago with an understanding of
these two things; ard by perse
verence and stick-to-iliveness
Arthur Smart is now able to
throw on the market this proper
ty asa partial reward for his eff
forts and his faith in the country.
If you want Il work horse, or
mule, or steer, or Il milk COW, or
bull. or heifer. or want some
hogs or pigs, or want farm tools,
or don't want nothin' but a
lunch, at the Smart sale next
Wednesday is where you will find
them.
