Mayor and Council, Brunswick, Ga.: Gentlemen: —Your special commit tee, to which was referred, the ordi nar.|ce grainiting to title Tennessee district Telegraph company, of Tenn essee. its successors or assign?, the right to enter upon the streets, lanes and alleys of the city of Brunswick, Georgia, for the purpose of erecting and maintaining poles or other sup ports upon, atotng and across said streets or highways, and to place and maintain thereon wires, cables and other appliances for the purpose of conducting a telegraph or messengei signal business, beg to report as fol lows: Information obtained is to the eliect. that the telegraph or messen ger signal business, for which the franchise is desired, is virtually al ready established; the service being furnished through the Western Union Telegraph company's local sys tem; further, that the corporation de siring the franchise, while an, inde pendent corporation, will practically continue to furnish the service, through the agency of the Western Union, which already has franchise for use of streets in conducting its business. This being a feature of the telegraph business, and in view of the arrangements between the two cor porations, the Western Uuio® can handle this service without special franchise from council. Our streets are well filled with telegraph, tele- s phone and electric light poles; there is soime probability also, of the Postal Telegraph company, coming to Bruns wick, ini which event, space will be needed for their poles, etc. Under the circumstances, we see no necessity for any franchise; but if desired by the aplpilicainits, would recommend, that franchise be granted toi operate the service, toy means of, and with the appliances of the Western Union Telegraph company, but in its pres ent shape, and the meagre informa tion in command in the premises, wo beg to report unfavorably on the or dinance. We think the ordinance/and all other ordinances, granting fran chises, should be accompanied by pe tition setting forth fully such informa tion as will enable council, and the public at large to form an intelligent judgement of the merits thereof.
