When the pnblic authorities of a city
cau specify all the conditions upon
which public franchises can be opera
ted, as they now specify some, wo may
hope for lxtter accommodations. The
so-called bobtail car has yielded in
many places under precisely this pros

it is then sought to serve subsidiary
private ends rather than the public
convenience. If the initiative lay with
the city.it might make the strougcarry
the weak. Profitable routes could be
sold in connection with less promising
ones to the great advancement of pub
lic convenience in tho lurgo sense, in
any case, if the city were to seek bid
dors after due public notice, for siiecific

ent. It may be urged that public
work done by contract is not always
honestly done. Unhappily this is
true, but the interest of a contractor
in his work ceases tho instant he is
paid. The interest of a successful
bidder for a public franchise lust as
long as ho holds the franchise. Again,
it may be urged that the city may fa
vor individuals or localit ies, or may lie
unwise in its action, in tho routes it
lays out. This also is true. Human
nature never reaches perfection any
where. The contention is that the
element of corruption as it affects city
franchises may be eliminated by
