Consolidated April 1890
ANNUAL CITY ELECTION
TUESDAY APRIL 18TH.

At the election next Tuesday the
taxpayers of the city will be called
upon to vote for or against the ex-
tension If the franchise of the light
and power company. The mayor and
city council have given the subject
earnest consideration for some time,
and they are unanimously of the opin-
ion that the city has been made q
very fair and liberal offer by the
light company, and can well afford
to accept it.
1t may be said in explanation of
why the light company is asking for
renewal of their franchise at this
time when their original franchise
has yet twelve years to run, it is to
to make bond issue for improve
ments, and to make the bonds market
able their payment must conform to
the time for which the franchise is
given and not extend over that date.
Thus with the new franchise for 20
years the light company will be able
to dispose of its bonds to advantage,
and secure the improving of the lines
by rewriting and establishing new
lines within the city, the objects for
| which the company are bonding.
We understand the only change in
the new franchise from the present
cne is that the city can demand a
| change OF rate every two years il the
| council decides that the rates are 200
high, or desires change of price on
the existing schedules. Neither the
| present franchise or the extended one
gives an exclusive privilege to the
company. the city at any time having
the privilege to grant a franchise to
another corporation if dissatisfied
with the service.
Milbank at tie present time is get
ting good service from the power
company at reasonable rate. and we
! believe there can be no proper oh
i lection urged against the extension Of
franchise, but that it will be to The
advantage of the city to vote for the
measure, and thus secure further i'm
provement of the plant without cost
to the taxpayers.
