HEADQUARTERS OF THE INTER-

Schuetzen Club held September IL,

praying for the granting OF an exclu-
siye franchise for the construction or

experience of the disaster to the
people which usually follow scheme
fsraflroaded'' through; and j.
Whereas, We have seen the folly OF
granting franchises until the whole
work is completed, as so many are
obtained for the sole and only pur-
nose of sale, and for keeping others
ont who would complete the work;

terests of the people would be served
by leaving this important issue 10
their elected representatives, the leg
islature; therefore be 1T
Resolved. That the Schuetzen Club
