Yesterday Judge Hollingsworth dis
solved the injunction against the new
| electric light company, and granted
| them the franchise given by the City
/ Council. The further erection of poles
was commenced last night, and work
will be pushed forward from now on
until completed, The machinery for
the new company has almost all ar
rived, and the balance will be here
this week. 1t is well to state that this
decision gives the new company the
rights granted by the peoples vote.
We would further say that this should
end the matter incontroversy, for
the strong reason that the people of
Bellaire have by ballot decided that
the new company shall have the light
ing of the city and it should follow
that the Council should give this con-
tract to the new company, and fur
Their say it was given to the lowest
bidder.
