hereby return disapproved the resolution granting a franchise to the great salt lake and hot springs railway company passed by the city council october 4 1892 for the following rea reasons zons section 3 recites that in consideration of this grant and aad franchise said grantee shall within four months after the date ot of the passage of this resolution unless granted further time by the chiy council begin the actual construction of cf a broad gauge railway to the west from salt lake bake city the consideration thus is in point of fact no consideration at all how far to the west went or from what point a broad gauge railway shall be constructed is not stated whether it itis is to be extended west one inch or to 0 o deep creek is a matter of conjecture certainly it is not a matter of conjecture that the grading by the gran eranee ee of a few feet of broad gauge railway roadbed within four months from any any point to the west would fully meet the requirements re of caid aid a section and be a fa full performance ot of the 00 consideration ration stated franchises which injuriously effect the value and tenure of property in the vicinity should be granted only when the interests of the public imperatively require this to be done for speculative purposes they should in no case be granted granta grant 3 in cases when the granting OF or a franchise would be proper such conditions and requirements as are calculated to insure good faith should always be incorporated in the grant in the case under consideration this has not been done and after the grantee shall have made a commencement however slight within four months nothing further can be required towards constructing ting a road of utility to the city the grantee should have been required to do something the performance of which would show good faith and that the franchise was not for speculative pur poses merely section 2 provides that it the grantee Us its successors and assigns shall fail to perform all the stipulations of this resolution the council after sixty days notice may declare the privileges herein granted forfeited if it was intended by this provision that a failure to perform any one of the stipulations of the resolution should work a forfeiture of the grant at the election of the city council the language selected to say any the least was not well chosen the language should be so explicit as to admit of but one construction 1 I therefore suggest the insertion of the words any one or between the words perform and all in the third line of section 2 As thus amended there can be no question at as to what is meant Aga inno point at which the construction west shall commence is fixed the language of the resolution on this subject being that the eranee shall begin the active construction of a broad gauge railway to the west from salt lake city I 1 this by implication gives the grantee the right to begin at any point it may select and to construct west beyond the city limits A franchise so vague ind in I 1 defini efin e and yet so broad and sweeping as the one in question in my opinion should no not t be granted A BRIEF TEMPEST horn this thib la in not the first
