that section.

LyndaIe Improvement association.
many outsiders being present as we'll as
the'members of the association.
The action of the meeting was ulti-
mately to indorse the Anderson, Douglas
& Co. petition for franchise, at the
same time endeavoring to get the Emer-
son avenue extension from Mr.. Lowry
if they could. The following resolution,
introduced by f. NJ. Bartlett at the
close of the meeting, was unanimously
carried:
Resolved, That the association give
Messrs. Anderson and Douglas assurance OF
our unqualified support in their cable and
electric railway project and
Resolved further, That we urge the city
council of Minneapolis. to grant the fran
chise they ask for. keeping all the rights OF
the city and people properly guarded
Aid. W. j. Bursell put the question
before the association, and gave his
views regarding it. He thought that
the council would grant the franchise
to Anderson, Douglas & Co. without
doubt, and thought that the association
should indorse the company in their
petition. At the same time he was of
tho opinion that the Emerson avenue
extension, which they petitioned the
council for some time ago, should be
pushed to the utmost.
G George r. WhitcOmb. the president of
the association said that he had called
on MIR. Anderson, and that he was GER
tain they had the money, the backing
and the ability, and would succeed at
whatever they undertook. He was in
favor of helping them in any way they
could.
E. NJ. Bartlett said that there was sure
to be law suit when any other COM
pany came IN to compete with Tom
Lowry, and as Anderson, Douglas &
Co. were ready to do the fighting, he
was in favor of indorsing them and tell
ing them to fight it out at once. Just as
we'll now as five years from now. and
settle the question of whether the city
was under Tom Lowry's thumb or not.
William Uric spoke favoring the new
company in much the same vein.
Mr. Bardwell thought that the propo-
sition was especially a good one for
North Minneapolis.
Mr.. Briggs was in for fighting Tom
Lowry, and helping Anderson, Douglas
&Co.
Mr.. Nimmons said that as Lowry and
his company had not done justice to the
city. and that the new company prom
ised to. it would be we'll to abandon the
old for the new.
Mr.. McAllister wanted to know if it
was dead sure that Tom Lowry wasn't
at the back Of this scheme. and being
assured that it was ''uead sure" he
prophesied long law suit, but said, let
it come.
All of the speakers were in favor Of
pushing the Emerson extension scheme
at the same time. as it would be i'm
possible to get too much TRANSFORMATION.
They would all make Thomas Lowry
extend his line, and help the new COM
pany to build the cable.
President Whitcomb explained that,
while the proposed plan didn't bring
the line just where they wanted it, that
the company were willing to put it just
where they wanted 1t. He said they
would either commence work in a
month, or be stopped within that time.
Mr.. Anderson was expected, but was
not present.

thing now. and it was stated that Mr..
NimmOns had raised S125 for that pur-
pose. At 10 o'clock the association adj
