Burdett, Esq., For the Massachusetts Street Railway Association: Before the Special Committee Appointed by the Governor to Investigate and Report Upon the Relations of Street Railway and Municipal Corporations in Massachusetts, and to Recommend Legislation Relative Thereto Mr. Clzaz'rman and Gentlemen: By chapter 509 of the Acts of 1897 the Governor was authorized to appoint a committee of three suitable persons to investigate the sub ject of the relations between cities and towns and street rail way corporations, the taxation of street railways and their franchises in this Commonwealth and in other states and countries, and the need, if any, of legislation in this Com monwealth to establish a more fixed tenure of franchises of street railways, and an equitable method of taxing the same. Pursuant to that act, the Governor appointed this Commit tee, which, on its own account, has made investigations in this and other states and in foreign countries, and has given hearings to municipal officers, street railway companies. And all other persons interested. It now becomes my privilege to close the case in behalf of the Street railway corporations. I. Regret that the time at my disposal since the hearings closed has not been as ample as I would wish for the preparation of an argument of so much importance.
