I rN VIEW of tho numerous and weighty municipal propositions llkoly to como before this peoplo In tho near future, and for tho onko of properly distributing the bur dens of responsibility ami operation nnd minimizing tho chance of fattiu'e and flusco generally, It may bo well for the Coos Uaylte to do some think ing along tho Hue or municipal gov ernment "by commission." tho sys tem of civic control and ndinlnlstn tlon that Is rapidly superceding the old councllmuulc program, Including the mayoralty, with Its voluminous and diversified powers and range of Irrnttonnl procedure and notable lu-ofllcacy.

Portland Is making n movement to socure this now and Idenl govern ment and ovory city of slzo and prom Ibo In tho state should be seriously thinking out the excellence nnd se curity inseparable from the prlnclplu and pocodure to which the best and biggest municipalities of the country havo turned for rollof and progres sive bases. WATER REPORT IS Marshfield Council Provides For Expense Committee Fa vors Municipal Plant. The Miirshllold city council last evening by ordering acting City Atty. Kendall to draft an ordinance pro viding for the payment of not exceed, lug $300 ns Mnrshlleld's share of the oxponso of having the waterworks sit uation exported rntllled the action of tho special water committee. Mr Jackson, who Is seeking tho flf- tv-vonr frniU'lilR.i fur Mr. Vnlnn vim prosont nnd nsked that the expert bo wild Hlnke had no property here nnd lirgod to expedite the Investigation as that he (Chandler) and his associates mum iih iHiHHiiiin so unit ne wotUM know whether there was n chnnco for the Nolan franchise. Councilman AI- urccni o r me special water com had comparatively recently voted a private Individual a franchise not as good for tho city. Councilman Fer guson before voting said that ho wanted to say thnt In whatever ho participated, ho went with the major ity and consequently in this Instance would vote yes. There was unite n crowd present and the stamping of feet and clapping of hands Indicated their approval of the action of the council. Discussion of Franchise. At tho conclusion of the reading of tho revised franchise, there was con siderable discussion of It during which some changes wore mndo. In one place where the franchise speci fied that tho company should be given a "reasonable" length of time to build Hues demanded by tho city council. Councilman Ferguson asked that It be made more definite. Mi. Dennett thought that could not be made more definite but finally It was agreed that one year he substituted for reasonable. The franchise also provided that If tho company built one mile of track In the city besides tho waterfront line Inside of ten years they could hold all the fran chises on the streets Included In the document. Messrs. Ferguson, Coll ide nnd Alhrecht objected to this and It was finally changed so thnt the company can ho required to build all the lines specified In five years or the franchise on the unoccupied streets declared forfeited. Councilman Ferguson brought up the question of tho city retnlnlng the privilege of purchasing the watet- frout line at any time. He snld tho mutter had been presented to Mr. Dennett yesterday afternoon. Mr. Dennett replied that they would not consider such u proposition ns the waterfront line wns tho backbone of the system and If the city should buy It the company would bo left witli a system without a principal connect ing link. He said tho company In tended to build further than merely u Marshllold Hue mid that the water front linn was tho cssontlul part of their plans and that the othor lines In the city would bo merely feeders for thnt lino. Mr. Dennett called attention to the fact that the people had voted Jacob M. Hlake a franchise which did not protect the city nearly so much iih tho franchise they wero asking and did not Include In that a provision onnbl lug the city to buy It. Mr. Coppio nlso argued In favor of tho provision that would onnhle the city to oxer- clsn the rleht to inirrlinHO Hut wntor-J front lino when it might so decide but Mr. lleunott said they would not con sider taking a franchise having suc'i a provision. Mr. Dennett referred to the street car Hue situation being held up for a couple of years by the franchises given Dlnko without anv guarantee on his part. Councilman Powers said It was not held up ns no one else had desired It. Counclliuan ForgiiMin wnnted the $10,000 guarantee to cover the com pletion of the system Instead of mow ly guaranteeing that the company would do $10,000 worth of work In the nine months. He said the city wanted u complete system nnd not part of one. This Irritated W. S. Chnndler who In no uncertain terms expressed his Indignation. He snld that when J. M. Dlnke, a "enrpet-bngger" enme along nnd nsked a franchise thoy n talk. Ho declared that ho found thnt the franchise did not transgress on tho rights of his Homo Telephone company. Also that If the Smith and Simpson Interests were taken from the Day, It would lenvo the poor houso staring nil In tho face. Ho said that In getting this franchise these big companies wero merely try ing to protect their own Interests nnd consequently ho favored giving It to them. Then enmo tho vote with tho re sult as stated above. J. W. Dennett then thnuked the council mid assured them of tho good faith of tho com pany. Among the additions mndc to the franchise wero ones providing for hnlf faro for school children nnd one protecting the rlghtB of corporations under franchises heretofore given. As n reason for extending tho time from six months to nine months, be sides the weather conditions, Mr. Dennett pointed out thnt thirty dnys must bo allowed for tlmo In which nnyono who so desired could file a referendum petition. In enso ono wns filed, ho said another thirty dnya must elapse before the election could bo hold. E WILL HOLD PICNIC Second Annual Celebration to Be Held Saturday on Catching Inlet.
