The parents settled across the lake a few years ago. after long residence on a small island of the sea, Where the child was born and where it spent fourteen years of It's life there were no children.

or course. 1t was expected that a
roar would 90 up + ON some body, no
difference who received the franchise
for the electric line. From all we
can learn Of the men asking for this
franchise, the council have acted
wisely in giving the preference to the
Indiana men represented by Mr..
Allen. These men are practical, ex
perienced men in the business, known
capitalists, and men of influence and
standing.
They are located in the gas belt of
Indiana and have large interests
there. Should they become interest
ed in an electric line through this gas
belt they will have very strong pull
in locating manufacturing interests
here that must soon abandon the In
diana field for want of gas. We do not
think for a minute that our city
council will not properly safeguard
the city's interest. Tue details of the
contract are still to be worked out,
This franchise may not be very valu-
able now, but it will be valuable as
the years roll around and the city
should be placed in position to reap
some Of the benefits from this increas-
ed value.
