Is no provision for an adequate time

says; 81 wanted to see either an cleo

not sorry for what I've done, and If
the same thing comes up again would

could get.
~ considered the other proposition,
brought up the night we passed the or
dinance, a mere bluff. I don t think
the parties ever had any ides of carry

COUNCILMAN LA'FoLLETT
"I voted for the ordinances because |
thought 1t would be q good thing for
the city. And l am confident that the
company asking for It would have gone
right ahead to operate 1t, 1 think there
is no question but If the franchise had
been granted when the proposition was
made We would have had an electric

the same way again II 1t should come
up again"
COUNCILMAN HARRINGTON
says he is willing to stand by the record
he hiss made In the council on the street

up and is still friendly toward 1t. The
