MADSEN, EDITOR Entered at the Post Office at Brigham City, Utah, as Second Class Matter. TRACKS MUST GO. Those who 'listened closeiy to the evidence presented by the Utah-Idaho Central railroad company at the hearing before the Public Utilities Commission in this city on Tuesday, on the petition of that corporation to take up part of the tracks of its local city car line, gathered the impression that there is a possibility of the commission permitting the company to leave its tracks on Forest street from Third West to the O. S. L. depot because of the plea made that the tracks are necessary as a public utility in transferring freight from one railroad to another. The representatives of the railroad company further stated to the commission that the privilege of leaving that much trackage would be asked for a period of only from one to three years when the company wnuld be glad to move off the street entire. y. It is very natural that the railroad company should seek to further its own interests for only by so doing can it hope to continue in business. But it is equally important that Brigham City should safeglard its interests and so far as the presence of the railroad track ,on West Forest street is concerned as an advantage to Brigham City, the reverse would be really the case. To permit the railroid com pany to retain live blocks of trackage on our most beautiful and and one of the most important streets just for switching purposes, would ,not only be disadvantageous but ruinous to the best interests of this municipality. Where else in the wide world has any rairoad company been permitted to construct switch ards on one of the main thoroughfares of a city ? The place does not exist and yet the U. I. C. company has the unmitigated gall, we use the term advisedly, to ask the state Public Utfitles Commission to force Brigham City to permit it to do such a thing with one or the principal streets of this city. At the same time it pleads for permission to take up the tracks in other parts of the city to meeting it.1 share of expense incident to street paving. The whole controversy illustrates the necessity of municipalities being very careful in granting franchises to private corporations. Brighrm City thought it was drawing a real bonanza when the electric railroad company was extended from Ogden to Brigham; the city d even went so far as to refuse the that had been operating through here almost as long as the city has been in existence, the privilege of ex-- , tending its track uptown because it was thought the electric road would be a better investment. Now we find ourselves in the predicament of being unable to prevent the railroad com-- , pany from using our streets any way they see fit, so long as they can get the permission of a state commission which exercise authority over the municipality greater than the municipality itself. I rail-jroa- We protest the granting of the petition and we believe this is the senti-- ; ment of the people of Brigham City. This city does not ask the street car j company to move out; we think the company ought to stay but we are powerless to make them stay and in the event that the operation of the line in this city is a loss to the and that is apparent from a per-- j usal of facts and figures which the corporation sets foith, the citizens do not ask them to stay on and continue to suffer losses. But we do most solemnly and vigorously demand that when the work of tearing up the trai-k- ; begins, it shall not cease until it has removed eveiy tie and rail from be a rank i.ijuUice to Brigham City tin .ad of the road at the O.
