SWIFT A CO. We do not wish to imply that the Rogue River Electric Co. should not be | granted a franchise in this city, but on the contrary, we believe that a fran- j chise, granted upon reasonable terms and conditions would be of mutual ad- 1 vantage to both the company and the city, and we think that the council and the citizens of Jacksonville, are perfectly willin to grant a franchise upon terms that are just. We do insist however that no franchise should be grant»! to the Rogue River Electric Co. or to anyone else upon the night of the introduction of the ordinance embodying it nor until the ordinance has been published that the public may learn all the terms and conditions of the grant. That part of the present charter which it is proposed to amend contains good I and wholesome conditions in regard to the granting of franchises and should remain as it is.
