FRANCHISE ASKED A MASS Meeting
One to Be Held at st. Peter
Friday Night.
Council Will Meet Monday Night and
Consider the Electric Railway
Franchise.

Messrs. Collins and Hixon spent q
portion of yesterday at st. Peter in
the interest of the Maukato and st.
Peter Railway and Lighting Co.
In speaking of their visit, Mr.. Col
Inns said today that if the matter was
to be put to vote Of the people, the
result would be % to 1 in favor of
granting the company franchise. A
few of the retail merchants fear that
trade would go to Mankato, and are
opposed to the line on that ground.
Many of the business men are anxious
to secure the line, however. A mass
meeting is to be held at st. Peter to-
morrow night to consider the request
for a franchise, and the council will
meet Monday night, when the matter
will be officially brought to its notice.
The council numbers six, of whom
only one is retail merchant.
!. At Kasota Messrs. Collins and Hix-
on found only the most cordial feeling
toward the enterprise, and the COM
pany can have anything it wants. The
council there has five members.
Mr.. Collins states that the road
would be great benefit to st. Peter,
as for every person there who could
come to Mankato there are FIVE here
who could go there. The local mer-
chants there ought to be able to COM
! EIo nh 70 70 nd
as matter of fact the road would
benefit the st. Peter merchants, for
the extensions soon to be made from
that town would bring in trade there
from the surrounding country and
from the lake resorts, that being the
nearest point
Messrs Collins and Hixon will at
tend the mass meeting Friday night
and endeavor to disabuse the minds Of
the people on any points which may
lead to their opposing the road 1t is
believed that no obstacles will be rails
ed in the way of securing franchise.
It has not been decided how the line
will cross the Minnesota river, whether
on a bridge of its own or on the st,
Peter wagon bridge. This will be a
matter for the engineers to decide If
the line is to run past the hospital ii
will probably need bridge of its
Town.
!, In case franchise was refused the
road could run to the city limits and
erect station, but this would not be
looked upon with favor by the man,
agement of the company, as it is in
every way desirable to run through
. the city
: Col. Widell intends to erect a hand
!, some depot at his Klondike quarry, il
case the road is built, and will call il
Klondike Station. He will do this a
, his own expense. 1t is expected tina
: large number of his employees will
: patronize the road.
