enai. Starting With 75 Dontmnatara
franchises constitute one of the most
important of them."
Nor is the Mail and Express alone in
its opinion as to the great value of the
public streets to tbe city. The Chicago
Record, in editorially speaking of the
New York matter says:
"Chicago will do well to notice very
carefully tbe steps new York is now tak
ing looking to municipal ownership of
its street railways. It is needless to say
that tbe present owners of these valua
ble franchises, like those in Chicago, are
very much disturbed at the prospect
that they will have to restore to tbe peo
ple this valuable property after having
bad tbe benefit of it for half a century."
Chicago, however, is at present greatly
handicapped in any desire it may pos
sess to re-purchase the franchise of its
street railways, as it has no authority
under the law either to raise money to
repurchase or to operate them after
securing them. This difficulty was met
by tbe introduction by Senator Ford in
the Illinois legislature of a bill giving -Chicago
authority to issue bonds to
purchase tbe roads, and another bill
was introduced conferring power to "ac
quire, operate or lease" tbe roads, but
their introduction came too late in the
session to be considered fully.
Tbe people are waking up. They are
just beginning to realize that they have
an inexhaustible source of great revenue
in their city streets, a revenue which
grows with tbe city's growth.
In Chicago the sentiment has been
rapid in favor of municipal ownership
because of the introduction of tbe Hum
phrey bills giving to the street railway
magnates control of the streets for tbe
next fifty years. We believe tbey failed
of passage, but their consideration.even,
was sufficient to alarm the citizens of
the windy city.
. Elsewhere the grasping greed of the
corporations will help to crystalize sen
timent in favor of municipal ownership,
and the day is not far distant when the
present so-called "vagaries" of the
pops" will be no vagaries at all. but
will be recognized as tbe efforts of a
party to lessen the onerous exactions
of corporations and trusts of all des
criptions. .
