THERE nro many deslrablo nnd substantial rensons why tho city council should rofuso tho application for n wnter works franchise which 1b to como up boforo thatbody for notion next Tuesdny ovo- nlng. First Tho term of fifty yenra for which tho grant Is asked is too long. Everywhere tho length of life of franchises granted by cities Is being shortoned until 20 nnd 25 yenrs 1b now about tho nverago torm nnd 30 nnd 35 years Is considered long. In this day of rapid advnnce inont nnd dovolopmont thoro is no reason for Mnrshflold strangling hor solf with n grant of a frnnohlso for fifty years. Second Ono of tho provisions of tho proposed frnnchlso Is thnt thero shnll bo nn Immedlato lncroaso in tho wntor rates to consumers. Tho modern tendency of public utility corporations Is to lowor rates nnd not to Incronso thorn. Certnlnly tho present Mnrshflold rates nro not rui nous ones. Tho present company hns nmnnged to exist, nnd develop n nronortv thnt is now about to bo sold for $150,000. Tho frnnchlso nlso domnnds thnt tho city, Instnll n Inrgo numbor of now hydrants at nn annunl rontnl thnt will Increase tho rovonues of tho water comnnny nnd Incldcntnlly como out of tho taxpayers pockets. Third Thoro Is no compensation or concession suggested for n frnn chlso thnt Is confessedly vory vnlunhlo. Mr. Nolnn ndmltB this much whon ho stntcs ho will not closo tho dcnl unless this franchise goes with It. It Is true that Mr. Nolnn promises some Improvements In tho plnnt nnd sorvlco. Thnt Is, however, only nn Improvement of his own prop erty. It Is not moro thnn tho city hnB n right to demand of tho prosent owners. Thoro Is no quid pro quo in suoh a suggestion. Everywhere theso franchises nro' coming to bo recognized ns vnlunblo. Evcn In country villages with only ordinary prospocts theso grants nra guarded cnrofully. Mnrshflold anticipates domo big things In twenty years. A watorworks franchlBO for fifty yoara 1b fnr too vnlunblo to bo given away. Anothor consideration is thnt Mnrshflold may dcslro to. cooporato with North Bond nnd other cities on tho Bny in tho installation of a municipal watorworks Bystom. To bo tlod down with a 50 yeara fran chise would bo decidedly embarrassing. Fourth In tho section providing thnt tho city mny tnko ovor tho plnnt In twonty yours thoro nro noprovlslons ns to prices or terms. Tho increased valuo of n fifty yonrs frnnchlso which will still hnvo thirty yqnrs to run mny cut a big flguro at tho end of 20 years oven If tho city desires to tako It ovor then. Mr. Nolan mentions this provision ns a vnlunblo concession. What Is It, however' but bargaining for n thing wo nro giving away. This franchlBO should not bo granted. Then whnt? Mnrshflold nnd North Bond should Immediately set nbout on a plan of purchnso nnd tho lnstnllatlon of a munlclpnl system for both cities. Messrs. Plnnagan & Bonnott nro largely nnd substnntlnlly Interested in this community. Thoy nro familiar with its resources and advantages. They havo contributed to Its development nnd tho community has In turn trcnted thorn well. Tho Interests of tho community nnd Messrs. Flana gan & Bonnott nro not antagonistic. Thoy nro mutual. Tho present owners of tho wntor works system should bo ablo to pro vldo a plnn by which tho city could purchnso tho plnnt nnd thus pro tect tholr IntoroBts nnd tho Intorootff of. tho peoplo who nro their neigh bors, and friends ns woll.
