EVANSVILLE NOTES.

HYATTSVILLE. Md. May pa spe-
cial election was held here yesterday to
determine whether or not the council
should give a franchise to c. A NJ.
Wells, of Hyattsville, and George II.
Watson, of New York. to erect and
maintain an electric light and power
plant, the town charter prohibiting the
leasing of any franchise without an al
firmative vote of the citizens. Arthur
Carr, Alexander Sakers, and Frank B.
Webster were the judges, and Fred A.
Soules and John F. Hickey were clerks.
Only 121 votes were cast; 10 for and s
against. 3 being rejected.
At the meeting of the council last
night, Attorney Robert w. Wells, APP
pearing for the COMPANY, asked for the
Immediate passage of an ordinance con-
ferring the franchise. DR.. Wells, the
mayor, announced himself as opposed to
any action at this meeting, and until a
carefully drawn ordinance, approved by
the town attorney. could be prepared
Town Attorney James c. Rogers gave it
as his opinion that the council could
not amend the proposed ordinance,
which had been published for the in
formation of the voters, but would have
TO adopt or reject it IN toto. The pro-
vision in the proposed ordinance allow
ing the council to declare the franchise
void in case of a failure or refusal to
furnish electric lights for a continuous
period of six months seemed to be OBJ
jectionabIe TO several members of the
council, Councilman Devlin, of the Sec
ond ward, insisting there ought to be a
right to amend by inserting six days in
stead Of six months. Attorney Wells
said the company would be willing to
allow the amendment TO be made. II it
did not affect the legality Of the fran
chise. It was finally agreed that the
council could safeguard all interests in
making a contract for lighting with the
company. The ordinance was then
passed by Q unanimous vote. Attorney
Wells guaranteed, on behalf OF the com
pany, that the work would begin in iif-
teen days. The company intends to
