icipal ownership of the waterfront

vate franchise or public ownership.
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

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.
