RESEARCH BUREAU URGES BUILDING PRIVILEGE FEES Says Contractors Who Rip Up the Streets Should Pay for Right A fee schedule for the privilege of laying private pipes, conduits and tun nels or the building of private bridges ever streets should be provided by Coun cil, the Burcnu of Municipal Research asserted today. Council's failure te establish such a schedule has led te numerous vetoes by Mayer Moere. Whenever ordinances granting such privileges have been passed, Council hns invariably passed the bills ever the veto. The Research Bureau said that any kind of franchise in perpetuity should be avoided. It stated further: "Fer nearly two years there hns been before Council an ordinance prepared by the Beard of Highway Supervisors which prescribes limitations en and compensation for the use of the high ways. Possibly this particular ordi nance could be improved upon, and we hove no criticNm for its previsions one way or the ether. Fer some reason this ordinance was allowed te slumber, while each request for permission te use public property in the manner in dicated wns treated by Council en its individual merits. Seme who are wise In the lore of City Hall sny that the ordinance had few friends because some persons in high places like te be in n position te extend favors. Perhaps that is true, but whatever motives may have operated in the past, early and, let us hope, satisfactory solution of this matter seems te be premised," Man te Man "nd thin we're going te hit some et the moun tain routes for several weeks. . . .
