F I ; A X K K. SCHLATKH, Plaintiff.
By JOHN M. I;YI)A. His Attorney.
Some Good Sound Reanoning Is Submitted to the Taxpayers and
Water Users of the City, and Proposes to Let the People Vote
on the Matter and Abide by Their Verdict.
Mr. Editor: In u recent edi
tion of the Journal you called nt
lenlion to the graiiliiiK of the
proponed water franchise, as you
stated, to Rive your readers nn
opportunity to speak their senti
ments. As mic, I am pleased to
respond to trie siiKKeslion, as I
consider tin Kranliin,' of a water
franchiso, or any other franchise,
at this period in the. city history
more important than at any pre
vious wanting of like privileges.
In the granting of franchise
rights the future- should he con
sidered as carefully as the, pres
ent. There is no reason why Ihe
city should give something for
nothing, any more than an in
dividual or corporation. It should
have value received for what it
Rives. I think a just, fair and
quitahle agreement should be
entered into with the IMattsmouth
Water company, but for a period
not longer than ten years. And
the contract should be uncon
ditional as to any privileges or
arrangements beyond that period.
In my judgment, ten years will
muke a greater change, in the
matter of the progress of thr
city in wealth
than has taken
and population,
place during the
past twenty years. T think there
is no good reason why a franchise
should be granted longer than ten
years. Hut if it should be, then
the additional years should bo for
n fixed cash payment for the
franchise.
When Ihe tlrst franchise for
twenty years was granted, and
tho city contracted for fifty
hydrants, it was necessary to do
this in order to secure the water
works, and was proper to make an
inducement to secure the plant
and to make a liberal contract, as
the outcome to the company was
largely speculative. No such
condition exists now. The plan is
already established. The eighty
hydrants that tho present com
pany wants us to pay $i0 per year
or $3,200 for. are already in.
hence I here would bo no expenso
attached for this purpose. This
hydrant rental alone is over g per
cent on $00,000, the amount for
which tho Water company has
recently mortgaged tho plant to
the Union Safe itnd Deposit Co.
for. As I understand it, the city
some time ago could have bought
the plant at about $30,000, and in
is alloK.'d that tho present owner
only paid about that sum for it.
Under these circumstances is not
a ten-year franchiso all that tho
city should reasonably bo expect
ed to give. To add another ten
years, in my judgment, would lie
giving away valuable rights of the
' taxpayers.
The private consumers should
also have protection. The pro
vision in the proposed ordinance
that they shall pay $8.50 to tho
lot line, and in addition have to
pay for the extension from tho lot
line to their premises and keep
tho same in repair, is unreason
able and unjust. If the city coun
cil grants Ibis company a fran
chiso without compensation, and
in addition pays $3,200 a year for
hydrants, it would seem that the
company ought to be at the ex
pense of extending its own plant.
Tho owner is compelled to bo at
the expense of the extension to
his premises, which is practical
ly a donation to the company
through which they can furnish
water and receive compensation
of not less than $(1 per year,
which is 0 per cent on $100, al
though they have invested noth
ing. We are not overlooking the
fact of the company's expense of
keeping up and running Ihe plant,
but believe tho income from it is
now amply sutllcient to pay in
terest on an investment of over
iF.w.omi over and above repairs.
The caption of tho ordinance
and the. first section are mislead
ing, ns the public is loft to believe
that only a ten-year franchise is
asKeii ior, nut ir section 7 is
adopted, as now drawn, it moans
a twenty-year franchiso. We
see no good reason why the city
should hedge itself around with
Ihe conditions set out in this
section. Let tho franchise be
simply for ten years; it, will be
time enough then to make new

conditions. Tly that time tho fran
chise may be very valuable, or it
is possible that might not be of
sulllciont worth to justify tho
company in taking another fran
chise. As to what the city should
pay ns hydrant rental. I am of the
opinion that $37.50 for each
hydrant is enough.
I would not advocate the taking
of any advantage of the Water
company by reason of their
plant already being established,
which would be valueless to them
without Ihe renewal of a fran
chise, at the same time the city
is in no position to be hurried
about entering into any contract.
If the present franchise expires
tne city can pay for tho water
used until a now contract is enter
ed into.
I will add, in closing, that it
would not bo a bad plan to sub
init the question of a now fran
rinse direct to tho voters, whoso
decision would be final, as the
majority should rule.

Majestic Has Good House.
From Friday's Daily.
The benefit performance at the
Majestic for Mrs. Kaspar last
night brought out two large
audiences. During the first show
there were not seats for tho peo
ple, many having to stand in the
vestibule until it was over. The
orchestra piayea selections ap
propriate to the acts thrown on
the screen, and the music was
highly appreciated by , the audi
ence. The committee in charge
of the business end of the play
feel very grateful to the members
of the orchestra for its services
last night, which this popular
musical organization donated to
the good cause. A handsome sum
was realized from the perform
ance, which the committee will
add to tho amount already con
tributed. It is expected that the
business matters connected with
the Kaspar bakery will soon shape
themselves so that Mrs. Kaspar
will be the legal owner of the
business, when she can go ahead
with it..
