FRANCHISE FOR THE ST. ANTHONY
WATER POWER COMPANY
PRECIPITATES WAR.
ENDS IN DRAWN BATTLE.
MATTER LAID OVER FOR ANOTHER
WEEK-PAVING MATTERS
DISCUSSED.
FLAMES IN A GUNsMITH's STORE.
Firemen Show Their Heroism,
Working Ina the Expectancy of
Explosions.

The expected fight in the city coun-
Gil last night over the ordinance grant
ing permission to the ST. Anthony
Water Power company to operate a
gigantic electric plant, was waged for
two hours by every alderman on the
floor
Bradish, Miner Loye and Fort arrayed
themselves on the side of the water
power company, while Aid. Jennings,
Schwartz, McAllister, Harvey and
others protested that an attempt was
being made to railroad the ordinance
through without proper consideration.
After long drawn out wrangle, in
which personalities and ancient history
were INDUCED in without stint, the
matter was referred to the committees
on ordinances and roads and bridges.
During the debate, Attorney Brown
and Engineer De La Bevore, of he
Water Power company, addressed the
council at length, declaring that the or
dinance granted them no special privi-
leges.
City Attorney Simpson explained that
the ordinance was general in charac-
ter and granted the company the same
rights as were now enjoyed by other
companies. Mr.. De La Bevore stated
that the situation was imperative and
that if the council was averse to per-
hitting his company to operate in Min
neapolis, they would be obliged to turn
their attention to st. Paul
The majority Of the aldermen, how
ever, thought that undue haste was
characterizing the actions Of the water
power people, and that a delay of one
week would not seriously embarrass
the enterprise.
The General Electric company was
granted permission to make a number
of small extensions to their present
conduit system, although Aid. Rand
SHE'D at the proposition.
