SUPERVISORS HAVE AUTHORITY.
Can Grant Trolley Roads Franchise Over
Public Highways of Township.
In the Issue of The Star August 5,
1903, an article was published about the
supervisor ot Wlnslow township grant
ing a franchise to the Jefferson Traction
Company to build trolley line to Rath
met, Soldier and Sykcsvllle. In its
Issue of August 7th tho Punxsutawney.
Republican clipped our article and by
some mistake gave the ro(tm(rcr credit
for article. Last weok tho Brookvlllo
Dtmncrat clipped the first paragraph of
the article, evldontly from the columns
of Punxs'y Republican, as the Democrat
gave our contemporary credit, and then
asked for Information, as follows :
"Now, what we want to know Is,
where did the supervisors of Wlnslow
township get authority to grant a trol
ley road franchise to any one over tho
Sublio highways of that township. In
eed we would like to know where the
supervisors of any township got author
ity to grant any kind of a franchltte.
The legislature can grant franchises and
so can the courts In some caRos, but
when, where and how were supervisors
authorized to grant franchises. We
thought tholr duties were confined to
opening highways and keeping thorn In
repair. If supervisors havo any such
authority as the Volunteer suggests, we
would llko to know all about It. Will
the Volunteer Inform us? We think It
an Important thing and the peoplo
ought to understand It. Let us havo
full information."
As the Volunteer has not yet stated
that the supervisors of Wlnslow town
ship have granted the Jefferson Trac
tion Company, or any other company,
a franchise over the route stated above,
and the article referred to In the Ihm
oerat was clipped originally from The
Star, we feel It is our duty to give the
editor of the Democrat the Information
he Is so anxious to recolve for himself
and the people In general. Here It is :
No street passenger railway shall lie"
constructed within the limits of any
city, borough or township, without the
consent of its local authorities. Article
17, section 9, Constitution of Common
wealth. No street passenger railway shall be
constructed by any company Incorpor
ated under this act within the limits of
any city, borough or township without
the consent of the local authorities
thereof, Act of May, ,1889, I'. L. 211.
The consent to occupy a township
road by a street railway company must
be given by the supervisors, when act
ing together In a proper manner,
i'rnn'a Ii. Ji. Co. vs. Montiornery Co.
li'y Co., SI All. Iie). 468, 1894.
Where a street railway company has
been granted a chartor for a street
railway over certain streets, but has
not received the municipal consent, It
has no standing In equity to restrain
another company subsequently char
tered from building over the same
streets where it appears the second
company has received the municipal
consent. There is nothing In the Act
of June 7, 1901, P. L. 014, to change
this rule. Page. SS4, JPciin'o Superior
Court Reports l'JOl-l'JOS.
The above paragraph from Ponn'a
Superior Court Reports makes it very
plain that the consent of the local
authorities town council or supervisors
Is necessary before a street railway
can be constructed, even though a char
ter has been granted from the state.
If the editor of Democrat had boon
reading DuBols papers recently be
would have noticed that the DuBols
Traction Company wants a franchise to
extend Its line Into Sandy township,
but the supervisors have refused to
grant the right of way.

Editor Tint Star : With your kind
Indulgence I would like to make a few
remarks concerning the advertised to
be harvest home plonlo held at Wlshaw
Park lust week. It was mlsnnmed.
I want to state plainly that the
farmers had nothing to do with it
at all, and very few farmers went near
the show during the four dnys. The
farmers consider It an Insult and lo
llcve that they havo reason for feeling
Indignant about It. Had tho Bhow bet n
given a proper name tho farmers would
not havo paid any attention to It, but
to get up nich a show and call It a
harvest homo plcnlo Is too much to
swnllow'wlthout a wry face. The
statement that It wns a harvest homo
picnic must have been made to deceivo
the peoplo for the purpose of drawing a
crowd. I have been told that gambling
wns ono of tho lending features of the
plcnlo und that a sworn officer walked
through tho park one dny and winked
at tho gambling devices.
