Light A Power Company has not been given a hearing; third, the petitioners for such lines, the Great er East Side Improvement Asso ciation should also be afforded an ample opportunity to present its evidence to the Council or to the spe cial committee of the Council showing the need of such extensions; fourth, the Council should make a careful exam ination Into the facts as alleged in the petition and ascertain for Itself, aided by such evidence as the petitioners may present, whether or not these ex tensions, or any of them, are needed. and if It would be reasonable to re quire their construction. Facta Required by Attoraey. "When all of these facts are ascer tained, then I will be in a position to draft an ordinance; but at the present time I am not in such a position, as I have no facts before, me upon which to base such an ordinance. In the mean time I will determine the other ques tions submitted by the Council and ad vise It as to the method of initiating franchises requiring extensions. The Council must clearly understand that the Legislature, in the matter of requiring extensions of service, trans ferred this function to the Council, but it clearly Intended that it should fol low the same procedure and the same course as required of the Railroad Com mission. Appeal Deemed Certain. 'This course of procedure Is absolute ly necessary for the reason that the statute gives the railway company an appeal from the orders of the Council, and to follow out the procedure now attempted by the Council would. In case of an appeal, place it in a very embarrassing position before the Rail road Commission. It would have no evidence whatsoever to substantiate the enactment of said ordinance, and if the Council does order these exten sions, surely there will be an appeal, and upon such appeal the Council would, of course, take pride In sustain ing its position, and It seems to me, out of courtesy to the petitioners, they should be given an opportunity to pre sent their evidence and, of course, they have not prepared such a petition with out making due inquiry into the facts as alleged tnerein.
