Answers
CLARK
"In regard to the granting of i
franchises it would be my policy |
to endeavor to have concessions
incorporated In said franchises i
that would be to the city's in
terest."
CLAYTON
"No franchise should be grant
ed without an adequate return ''
for the benefits to be derived.!
It must he of value or would not '
be sought."
DOW
"I would Insist that anyone
making application for franchise
must lay their cards on the table
where everybody can see them,
and 1 would be opposed to any I
secret sessions to consider them.
A fair return to the city, consid
ering the use for which the fran
chise is asked, must be insisted
upon."
KBKRT
"I would not be in favor of
granting the T R. & p. Co. any
new franchise to run for a longer
tlniil than the franchise for any j
other section of the same line."
FLEETWOOD
"I believe that franchises (
should be scrutinized very closely
regardless of character, and that
the city's best interests should be
always in mind before any fran
chise is granted."
GROXEN
"I believe that the granting of
franchises in general should be
carefully considered and suffi
cient evidence shown that the pro
visions ol' the same will be carried!
out and lived up to. Knowing
that franchises are considered an!
asset by corporations, and believ-|
ing, as 1 do, that they are, I should
insist that adequate compensation
in some form should always be
provided therein. I am opposed
to granting franchises for public
utilities which would compete
with those owned by the city, un
less the city is unable to supply
the demand."
.lAM IK SON
"1 think the city of Tacoma
should follow along the lines of
11k1 city of Toronto, which Is con
ceded to lie the most progressive
city along these lines in North
America. They maneuvered so!
that all street car franchises ex
pired at the same time, refused to I
renew them, and bought up all;
personal property of the company j
at its fair market value. Theyj
modernized the lines and leased,
them to the highest bidder, stlpu-,
lating mi. ii concessions as seats
for everyone, half fare for work-1
men morning and night, half fare |
for school children, minimum
wage for employes, universal,
transfi'i-s, and other modern fea-l
Hires. That is the best plan I
know of."
MAUILL
"I am not in favor of granting
long-time franchises to any public
service corporation. If It could lie
done, there should be periods of
readjustment of compensation and
privileges during the term of the
franchise."
M'GREGOR
"On principle 1 am opposed to
the OraattSg of'franchises to pri
vate corporations to perform a
purely public function, unless the
IniunicipHlity is clearly unable to
WWII in that line of business. "
PIOTTIT
"All franchise matters should
l>e handled with the greatest Mr*,|
with due regard to the future. I
understand the courts have heiei't
the people of the right of referen

go slowly and be sure they are
