KILL "FRANCHISE" BILL
City Utility Measure Loses in Senate,
23 to IA.

23 to II.
The indeterminate franchise bill
which was killed by vote of % to IA
caused one of the hottest debates that
has been held on the senate floor since
the session began. Senator Kimball
aided Senator Satterthwaite in his
fight for the measure which would
practically take away the rights of
cities to control their public service
corporations, and Senators Nigh
swonger, Getty and Ferrell opposed
the passage of the bill.
One of the most convincing argu-
ments of the debate was made by
Senator Nighswonger, who went into
the proposed measure in detail. He
showed how it would give the public
service corporations of Kansas per
petuaI franchise the same as a similar
law has given to these corporations in
Wisconsin. He quoted decisions of the
Wisconsin supreme court to show the
far-rea ching effects of such franchises,
and closed his argument by saying that
while he saw big corporation men
from his district in the senate chamber
urging the passage of the bill he saw
none of his laboring people there look
ing after their rights, and that he felt
obligated to look after them as far as
was possible.
Senator Ferrell branded the bill as
OSC dangerous ana Ildue an earnest
appeal for its defeat. He asserted that
the granting of perpetual franchises to
public service corporations would give
them the greatest monopoly the state
has ever known.
Senator Getty took a slap at the
public utilities commission that would
have the control of franchises under
the Satterthwaite bill, terming the P.
L. c. the never, never court and as
serting that all who entered it seeking
relief might as we'll abandon hope.
Getty pictured the corporations giving
whatever service they pleased once
they obtained indeterminate fran
chises and answered the arguments
advanced by Senator Kimball that the
corporations wanted the bill passed
for the purpose of floating bonds.
IF it is true, as the senator from
Labette says, that contracts could be
terminated in twenty minutes by cities
under this measure, how in the name
of commonsense would corporations
float bonds to better advantage than
now when it is known definitely how
long the franchises run and when
they hold franchises running from
three to more than thirty years."
The final vote on the bill was as
follows:
Hart, KanavaI. KimbaIl, Metcalf. Price,
Satterthwaite, Schoch, Smith, Snyder, Will
son.
Noes-Anderson, Carroll, Delaney, Doerr,
FeIrell. Getty, Hilkey, Keene, Laing,

8 IMPORTANT
APPOINTMENTS
Staten ISIand to Have New AL
derman, and Public Works
and Tax c mmiSSiOnerS

TOTTENVILLE, Jan. 3:-Three
appointments for the borough of
Richmond are to be made within a
short time to fill out unexpired terms,
two caused by death and the other
by the advancement of Alderman
William K. Walsh to the office of
sheriff.
A successor to the late Henry P.
Morrison, commissioner of public
works and consulting engineer for
the borough of Richmond, Is the most
important position to be filled. Bcr-
Dugh President Calvin d. VanName
has this position to be filed which
carries with it a salary of $500 per
annum.
The successor to former Alderman
Walsh, according to the city charter,
must be made by the Board of Alder
men at their session In Manhattan.
Just who will be named could not be
learned but it Is believed that an or
ganization man from the Democratic
ranks will be placed in the position
for the single year. The salary at
mum.
The other position is a deputy tax
commissioner to succeed the late
Samuel A. Moore, who died last week
at the home of his sister at Farming
dale, N. J., after a lingering illness.
This position must be niied by the
comptroller of the city of New York.
All three are Democratic plums
and those who are so fortunate as to
land them must probably have the
endorsement of the Democratic GEN
eral county committee of which Mat
thew ]. Cahill is the chairman.
There are many applicants for the
three positions but just who will lana
them is not known. The position for

who was known as the father of good
roads on Staten Island, will probably
be a civil engineer to properly fill the
place which he has held throughout
Borough President VanName's ad-
ministration. John E. Bowe, the
deputy commissioner of public works,
has been mentioned as also has been
Spire Pitou, who retired from the
office of sheriff for the county or
