OMAHA , March 31. To the Editor of TUB
Di'.u : Having noticed some rather severe
criticisms In the press upon the action of the
city council lust Tuesday evening , on account
of certain restrictions placed In the new char
ter ordinance of the Metropolitan street rail
way company , I doom It but fair to the pub
lic und to the city council to review hastily
the situation tit the present tlmo. Many of
oar citizens look upon this us a channel in
which money may bo expended , the distribu
tion of which would stimulate local com
merce for the tlmo being , without consider
ing the pernicious effects time would follow
as a secondary consequence , should an un
limited nnd unrojtricted charter bo granted.
Municipal franchises , like municipal bonds ,
are public property , nnd not tendered ns a
special benefit to Individuals.
The < iuostlon us to where the line should
bo drawn , and as to whether bonds and fran
i chises should bo given , Is not ono easily de
termined , and can only be snttlod by a wise
nnd judicious weighing of the circumstances
involved. Thq public is , however , too often
ready to seize upon the opportunity of a
nickel in sight nnd shoot far from the mark
of tho5 gold picco later. Therefore by a
system of legislation our laws provide tlint
such matters bo first passed upon by the of-
llcers who are tbo guardians of the people's
Interests and then submitted for the ap
proval or disapproval of the electors. Should
iieso counsellors hastily present reiiuosls for
franchises or bonds to tlio publio they would
fall short of the duty of ilrst Investigating
nnd deciding.
That submission to the people for nvote
upon bonds or franchisee by municipal au
thorities is n recommendation of the sumo is
n statement that none can deny. Ttierofuro
nil necessary restrictions should bo placed
and all protection necessary bo provided hy
these guardians of our common iiroporty , in
order to prevent the strong arm of grasping
monopoly from making inroads upon our
common interests that would bo regretted
when too lato.
If the aboro facts are true , and I bcllovo
they will not bo questioned , Is it fair to ren
der hasty juduincnt ngainut men of well
known capacity and Judgment for doing
What scorns fair , equitable and Just to all

JcstrictliiK the now metropolitan franclii.-.ol
A few words now ns to tlm merits of any
now street car fraurhlso. In 1807 , the terri
torial legislature gave the Omaha street rail
way company a llfty-ycnr franchise , and
curufully provided that at the expiration of
that tlmo , nil of the property should revert
under the fr.mchisoto the city. Omaha was
then n more village , without even a hope of
inotroK | > lltan llfo ; yet the road was built and
oporatcd for many yours by the then only
known method of horses , regardless ot mud
knoo-doort , and other almost insurmountable
dinicultios. It was an institution to nbsorb
rather than mnlto money , but never stopped
its wheels oven when its owners held It by a
tdcndcr string through the key hole of tbo
bhorilT's onice.
Nearly twenty-live years of the llfo of that
franchise is gene , and m twenty-live years
more It must comn back to the people under
the terms of that charter. Notwithstanding
this formidable fact , It has kept pace with
the almost unparalleled growth of this city
In the pust four years , and acquired by de
velopment and consolidation with rival inter
ests nil modem methods.
It Is only by pluck , energy nnd daring ad-
Ventura that the present owners , nt the risk
of tholr lives' earnings , have irlvcn Oumha a
system of street transportation now pointed
nt by the world as being the best and most
extoimvo in any American city of nearly
twice the population ot this.
To operate this extensive system , T nm told ,
rrqulns an expenditure of about flSO,000 , an
nually , all of which is distributed at homo.
Men are paid the highest wages , nnd passen
gers given the best possible service over
nearly ono hundred inllus of truck. All this
money Is only taken 5 cents at a tlmo , and
nbout thirty transfers uro made , without
extra charge.
It is not necessary after the above state
ment to tell this intelligent community Unit
the owners are not yet making for themselves
a ulnglo dollar. I nm also informed that ex
tensions are still boinif made as rapidly us
Votslb.'o ' by the sale of bonds at a low pr.oo
on a heavy market.

operate over streets now occupied bv this
company , would not only bo unfair ana un
just to tlio present owners , but highly detri

ing future development.
Agnin ; Toglvo nny other company tlio
rlRbts and advantages notcnjoyud by this
company after they Uu'vo fouRht the Lmttlo ,
Klvon the service mid dona so much to build
tip the city , would bo unfair to tbls company
and to the people who own the franchise.
Therefore tliu city council In tlio wisdom and
justice of its deliberation , granted n now
f nuiehtso with the sanio conditions and re
strictions that were accepted twenty-five
years ago by the present company , when the
only oncourngemont was tmth and hope for
the future.
For illustration , lot us make a parallel case
of tlio uresont stock yards. If the respective
railroads or other purlins should buy n largo
nniountof laud , build switches , yards and
pens to cimblu thorn to sell lots around their
property and thereby inure ] the present stock
yurils so that they could not pay tholr men
or do a prolltable business , mid If eompctl-
tlon made u Impossible for the other concern
to do business enough to sustain tbo neces
sary excuses foreillclcnt work , would the
community bo bettor or worse oil for Its
presence , oven though $100,000 bo expended
in Its llrst development )
Again , may I usk , Is not the Otnnba street
railway company oil institution which brings
credit nml renown to Omanti ! Have wo not
received much and dove not expect morel
If this bo true , would you cripple , malm ,
nnd porhnps ruin It , by glvlni ? unholy ad
vantage to a prospective Institution , con
ceived In adventure , born In ambition and
nourished by predjudlce , without thopo of
useful development.
Again may I ask why Omutm should giro
away Its franchise , wore valuable than
bonds , la a reckless way , unprecedented by
any other city ! Anil cau property owners
afford to stand Idly by and see their rights
and Interests sacrlHctxl without invoking the
strong arm of tuu law to star such ruthless

THE COMPANY'S CONTRACT A FAILURE
ninny Conditions of the Proposition

CiiHo Kovleweil.
Judge Doano yesterday decided In favor of
the plaintiffs la tbo application made by
John D. Howe , Ernest Stuht and others , for
an injunction restraining tbo city from delivering
to the Union 1'aclflo
livering railway com
pany or the Uuion depot company the
$160,000 , In bonds voted by tbo city to nld in
ttio construction of the now union depot.
The Judge reviewed the case nt length , and
found that the conditions attached to the
issulntr and delivering of the bonds , em
bodied iu tbo pronositlon submitted to tbo
electors , had not boon compiled with in
several respects. The plun , of the depot had
been materially changed ; the amount required -
quired to bo expended on the depot before
the delivery of the Ixnuti , had not been ex
pended ; other roads had been denied access
to the depot In violation nf the terms of the
proposition ; londa required of the Union
depot company In the sum of JOOOCO , prece
dent to tnu delivery of the f 150,000 , city bonds
had not been tiled.
