COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 15 - Selwyn N. Owen, City Director of Law, rendered an opinion to the effect that nearly all the street franchises held by the Columbus street railway companies were illegally obtained and are therefore valueless.  A marked fall in the value of the companies' stock in the last two weeks foreshadowed the opinion of Judge Owen holds that the franchises should have been advertised for sale.
