We note the commissioners are
being advised by the city's attor-
neys in the street railway suit to
appeal the case to the supreme
court.
Possibly they believe the city
will have better chance in the
higher court than she had before
Judge Cant; lawyers usually feel
that way about cases into which
they have put their minds and
hearts. We know all about it
we have been there.
But the city has nothing to win
now. No American court with it's
ideas Of protecting property rights
will declare forfeited franchise,
the provisions of which were vio-
lated 80 years ago. Our right to
reclaim the franchise expired a
quarter of a century back. If
there has been any negligence the
city officials Of other times were
to blame, and we must suffer for
it.
AS we have said, the city has
nothing to win. Even if the SUI
preme court should decide in the
city's favor we would not gain
much, not even the value of the
money we have already expended
in trying the case. ,
We might grant new fran
chise, a more modern one, for a
period Of 25 years. But is there
very much Of a chance for the
people to grant any company a
new franchise in these days? The
present franchise has but II years
