THE PHONOGRAPH jf tVS J uLj County Court May Hav Erred in Deny ing Franchise Guaranty Offered by tha Company The Sentiment Favors Reconsideration, Yc-lndity there was ronnidcrable con jecture afoot throttghout the city a to jimt why the county court had turned down (he pi-tjtlon f th6'Aitor1a-8eaHide P.lm tric fntcrurUn railway people for a 10 foot fritiiclil-cnlong the sitle of the Klk CYeek roitd." from Seaside to the bank of thai itrt?Hiu, Hie court was not censured in any way, btii it reawm for denying tlic: grant were not known, and the matter .w,us dicuKcd liU-rally from fliHt aUndpuint ahme. . Home people emd to think it wa not gotnl policy to di-ourn(ji; an enter prle of that M-ofe and character; that anything within reawm should be grant ed, tihat might batten and amplify such su Invent incut a tlil; tliat it was prac tically on a par with the coneewion of a railway through the streets of the no could 1 scerthiw, predifoul to city; etc., and the tendency wavao fa the petitioning of the company. A reporter of the Atorian sought out W. 1,. Dudley, the Itaaf 'representa tive of the company, and ak-d him the nature of hie pica befott the court In the preiiil-e; Mr. Dudley replied, in a general way, that his people had asked for a right-of-way along the Elk .Creek rond for a ditance of' eigbt miles, the grant to be for a aixtecn-foot strip; that they agreed to supply the county with an ample iudemniy bond put out by the lwt company in the country, in such sum a the court might determine; that the coniHiny would bind itIf to keep, not only iu own territory, but the usage part of the county road for that dist ance, In excellent condition during the life of the franvhiso. and oWrve all other such reasonable demands as the court might impose; be poke regretfully of the denial of the petition and hoped it might be reconsidered at an early day. It i but fail, and reasonable,- to as sume that the county court was acting for tiie bent interests of the county in refusing the privilege, but the correla tive doubt, "was it?" will intrude it elf. , Such a plea, nor the granting of it, are innovations in Oregon; other coun ties have given such privileges under proper restriction, loing nothing there by; such propositions as railways are no detriment to a county; indeed they are of positive value any, and every where, if they are but built .and oper ated, and to accomplixh thi they must have such eoneexsions as was prayed for in this instance i 1 Tranaportation. cheap transportation, is whnt Antovia and Clatsop county needs more than anything else;. and it is certainly (inexpedient to turn it dow n when it is halfway to fruition. Tho Intcrurban people have blown no horns, made no grandstand plays, prom ised nothing extraordinary. They came In here quietly, worked constantly and methodically upon the preliminary lines necessary, and have now reached a point where the people, through the proper ofllce. and olllcers, may aid them to the final establishment of a very genuine and valuable commercial business. It is said, and justly, that many itiner ant and questionable concerns are seek ing public, favors throughout the coun try, and that excessive caution is csen' tiiil in dealing with these quasi-public enterprises; but these people have yet to show anything of the cheap and tran sitory sort. The court may, and should, investigate them n closely as possible, and 'act accordingly, but unless it is confirmed in an adverse opinion of the whole enterprise, it should grant such favors, under guarded terms, as will expedite the work and secure the prime advantage inherent in it. - " The Astorian, without fear or favor in the premises, but wholly in the inter- et of the community at large, is pre disposed to giving a wide open oppor tunity to every man, or set of men, to make good, in any project that has for its object, the development of the city or country or both, and it cannot, in deference to this principle, express any other hope than that the court will re consider the matter of this petition, and gran it. under carefully considered and well understood premise, .
