It developed at tho meeting that tho applicants for the franchise woro not entirely unanimous ns to what thoy wanted. J. W. Bennett wanted tho road to run down Brondway in stead of Front street. This wns op posod by Mr. Chandler who pointed out thnt a waterfront railway should ho on tho waterfront, nnd that ho would not contlnuo with tho com pany unless it was so built and the franchise so ' granted. Mr. Bennett was opposed to a steam railway In front of his bank building. Front street was finally decided upon and tho franchise will ho bo prepared. It was, also decided by the appli cants that a certified check for $10, 000 would bo deposited with the, city council aB a guarantee thaj. the rail way will be built If the franchise Is granted.

WAS CHANGED LET US TALK IT OVER THE TIMES Is plcnBod to noto tho nctlon of tho North Bend city council In appointing n commlttco to confer with tho MarBhllcld council to socuro uniformity of action on public utility franchises. Tho public lntorests of North Bond nnd Mnrshflcld aro so closely allied that harmony of nctlon In thoso mnttorB Is not only deslrablo but abso lutely essential to tholr mutunl .prosperity and progress. It Is also equally deslrablo for tho operation of theso utilities whether they bo publicly or privately owned. The Times would Uko to, aeo this uniformity that 1b to bo secured In tho features of tho proposed afreet railway franchise. Also extondod to uniformity of procedure It Is to bo hoped that the North Bend council will And It ndvantngcouB to cooperate wlti the Mnrshflold coun cil In placing thla railway franchlso bcfOro tho people to bo voted on in connection with tho municipal ownorshlp plnn. In this mnnner tho ex pression of tho peoplo of tho two cities on theso questions would bo secured nt tho snmo tlmo. Tho franchlso application of Messrs. C. A. Smith, W. S. Chnndlor, L. J. Simpson nnd Flnnngan & Bonnctt Is one of tho best and most busl ness like thnt has ovor boon presented to tho city councils of Mnrshflcld nnd North Bend. Novortholcss Tho Times ndhores to tho principle thnt municipal ownorshlp nnd control Is tho best solution of the problem. Tho high character and business standing of these applicants Is In Itself sulllclcnt warranty of tho commercial stnndnrd of any transac tion for which thoy will Bland Bponsor. Thoy express themselves ns not merely willing thnt tho peoplo should have nn opportunity to voto on their franchlso but they desire It. TIiobo men represent property Inter ests In this community thnt aro so largo nnd extensive that tho pro gress and prosperity of tho community Is Inextricably lntorwoven with tholr own fortunes. All tliOHo things nro guarantees that they must in a mcaauro protect tho city's Interests becauso In so doing they nro pro tecting tholr own. For theso. reasons Tho Times believes thnt If this frnnchlso Is ovor to bo given Into private hands It should bo givon now to theso applicants. The Times thinks thnt this frnnchlBo should becauso of Its Impor tance In tho city's growth nnd development remain n communal asset. If thero could bo nssuranco that tho franchise granted the present np pltpnnts would nlways ronvnln under their personal control nnd supervi sion, there might ho nothing to fenr. They nro only mortal, howovor. What Is theirs today, tomorrow belongs to their cstnto and later to somoono else. Corporations hnvo no souls. Thoy nro qntlroly Impersonal. Tho city lives on whllo citizens die. The protection of this waterfront and Its dedication for all time to unfettered nnd untramellcd transportation may bo secured only through municipal ownership nnd control. In this mnnner overy railway that ovor cornea to tho shores of Coos Bay may bo assured tho uso of n terminal railway without paying apo dal tax or trlbuto to any ono nnd every railway that comes may uso It on absolutely oquablo terms. It will bo placed up to tho peoplo for decision nnd In their hnnds Is tho ultlmnto disposition of tho problem. May tholr Judgment bo mado In wisdom.
