, z^. 83] POWER TO GRANT EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISES 83 corporation- cannot grant to any fuel or gas supply company a monopoly of its streets. There is nothing in the nature or business of such a company making its use of the streets necessarily exclusive. The spirit and policy of the law for- bid municipal corporations from creating monopolies, by favoring one corporation to the exclusion of others.
