DES MONIES STREET CAR FRAN.
CHISE.

Our beautiful growing metropolis
Of Iowa is fast becoming a great cos
mopolitan city, with her fine bridges,
her many beautiful parks, her great
golf links, her great club houses, her
commission form of government, her
large, high, permanent office and bus
mess buildings, her great capitol ex-
tension improvement grounds all add
ing beauty to our city. With all this
modern improvements the city no
doubt needs modern, well equipped,
rapid electric transit street car SER
vice, the best that skill, science and
money can make, with efficient and
well paid men to operate those cars,
and certainly We cannot hope for our
present street car company to fill this
great need unless we citizens grant to
this company good long time rea-
sonable franchise so the company may
have something permanent, definite
and reliable. Then the company can
and no doubt will go to work to i'm
prove our already fairly good system
into more modern, up-to-date SER
vice, paying her employees better
wages, improving and extending the
service to all parts of the growing
city. In short they would put our
street car service and system equal
to the best of any other city in Amer
lea of similar size At present with
no franchise, no certainty as to the
life of their ownership in our city, We
cannot expect the best Of service nor
the best improvements. The COM
pany's financial condition at present
is that it will require about $4,000 in
addition to the gross earnings to meet
operating expenses, bond interest and
taxes, etc. Then the men are voting
for an increase in wages, which also
means an additional expense of at
least $25,O00 per year. Now the fact
is that Mr.. N. w. Harris has person
ally loaned the company S1,250,O00
and naturally feels, as any good bust
ness man would, that unless he had
some permanent reasonable franchise
from the city he cannot loan his mon
ey on such unsettled investment. |
am in favor of granting to this COM
pany the proper encouragement so
we may have we'll paid men and an
street car service in our
great growing city. Let US all work
to this object and our city will grow.
Lay aside small, petty things and look
for larger manhood and larger
city.
