HE nct.'on of the peoplo of North Demi In defeating the Dlako Btrect
railway franchise by so overwhelming n voto enmo nH a surprise. It
was genorally conceded that the Issue might bo close with chances
for Its defeat, but that the rosult should bo so nonrly unanimous was
not anticipated oven by those opposed to It. AUnuulyslH of tho cnuso
of this unanimity of action would saeni to indlcato that tho people gen
orally accepted Mayor Simpson's at.vumont that tho frnnchlso contained
n Joker and the people nro Incllnod to resent those things In publn
franchises. The charter iimcndmentH permitting thu council to grant
franchises without submitting thorn to n vote of tho peoplo, abolishing
the frnnchlso tax nnd eliminating the provision limiting tho llfo of n
franchise wore doubtless nlso strong determining factors.
The Tlmos' position on public franchises and their submission to pop
ular approval should bo ho well undorstood an not to roqulro roltorn-
tlon. At tho tlmo Mr. Dlako mndo his llrst application for n frnnchlso
In MnrBhfield Tho Times opposod It not on any specific objection to th
franchise Itsolf but on the ground that It should bo ijivon to n com
mittee of citizens to bo held by them as trustees for tho city nnd to
bo granted to tho first railway that would build into Coos Day making
connections with somo trnuEcoutlrontftl rond. At that tlmo tho Cois
Day & Dolso project was being ncttvoly ngltntcd and Tho Times speci
fically stated It should bo held for thorn or directly granted to them for
uso when they built to Mnrshfiold. Mr. Clarko nnd Mr. Unities, the
two most prontlncnt In tho promotion of tho road ntntod at that tlmo
thnt they did not want tho franchlso nnd In fact nnd no uso for It. They
stated then thnt their rond was to bo n stenm railway and In no way
Interested In stroct railways or trolley lines. In a recent stntoment be
fnro tho city council, Mr. Clnrko said that this street railway along tho
lines projected by Mr. Dlnko would be n valuablo adjunct to tho pro
posed Coos Day nnd Dolso lino. Decnuso of this stntemont and becnuso
of not wishing to oven seemingly opnoro nnv promised or projected Im
provement Tho Times refrained from comment on tho action of Vio
council In granting tho extension until tho pooplo of North Dend had nn
opportunity to resistor their opinions. As the extension of Mr. Dlnko's
franchise In Mnrshfiold was granted partly on tho plea that It would
aid him In his nppcnl to tho votors of North Dond nnd In all fnlrneis
ho wna granted that opportunity without prejudlco or opposition It
seems to The Times that tho Mnrshfiold council should reconsider tholr
action.
Tho relations and conditions surrounding tho cities of North Dond
and Mnrshfiold nro such that thoro should bo concerted action botwoon
tho two municipalities on any Important public utility franchlso nnd
specially so respecting n' street railway. If half our hopes como truo, i
It Is only a question of tlmo until tho two cities will bo merged Into
ono nnd when they aro two separate street railway systems will operato
to tho disadvantage of all. It will prevent tho operation of tho slnglo
faro nnd other fontures of regulation that should bo uniform.
The Times thinks tho tlmo has now come for tho city councils of
Mnrshfiold and North Dond to got together carofully propnro n street
railway frnnclilso that will safeguard tho public Intorests In overy par- ,
tlcular, submit It to tho pooplo to bo granted to n commltteo of busi
ness men ot loth cjtlos to bp known ns tho Coos Day street rnllwnv
commission, to bo hold In trust by tliem to bo granted with propjr
restrictions to tho first railway thnt will build to Coos Dny. Tho mem
bers of this 'commission as well as tho entlro franchise to be submit
ted to n votb of tlio peoplo of both cities.
This plan would operato to tho advantage of both cities In, giving
them unlforrii regulation and provldo for equal protection of tho poop'o
of both municipalities. Tho Times presenta this is a fair ,8oluJJ,on pt

Citizen Urges That Council
Should Reconsider Blake
Franchise.
Editor Times:
Tho passing of ordlnnnco No. 409,
granting to J. M. Dlnko another
franchise for railway purposes In tho
city of Mnrshfiold by tho city council
on .tho. night of December 1, was a
surprise to tlio peoplo ot this com
munity, nnd does not meet with gen
oral approval. Why tho rush ot
this proposition? Why did not Mr.
Dlnko publish his request beforo
submitting It to tho council, so tho
public might havo known what It
contained, nnd also to havo Inform
ed tho council ao they may havo
had tlmo to voto and act Intelligently
upon tho proposition.
Wo woro told tho noxt day by
mombprs of tho council that Jako
plead with tears In his eyes for thorn
to grant his request ns It would help
him socuto his franchlso nt North
Dond nt tho coming election; so they
granted It. North Dond has now
been heard and thoy havo turnod
down Mr. Dlnko's franchlso to tho
tuno of 322 against to 18 for. Thoy
did tho right thing and did It at tho
right tlmo. Mayor Simpson was
correct In his yIow of tho situation
whoro ho suggested to tho pooplo
of tho Dny that It was tlmo for tho
Interest of tho Dny to got together,
and that tho two cltlea agree upon
snmo honorable body of men to se
cure from tho two cities a fair
franchlso and hold in trust to turn,
ovor to tho first road that h'as actui
ally bulldod hero from tho outsldd.

tho competing systems of tho Hnrrl
mnn and Hill lines nre going to seek

for oporatlon. Thoro may bo othors

hold the mnttor of granting a fran

nn Individual who nevor compiled In

thla Is to go from Mr. Dlako to the
Coos Day and Eastern. All right,
give It to them on tho terms that you
would give it to any other road;

Mr. Dlako surely know before tho
city election hero that ho could not
comply with tho requirements of
his former franchlso. Why did ho
not bring tho mattor up at our gen
