Favors Postal Franchise.

The committee on municipal laws re

the Postal Telegraph company. with the
few changes made at the committee

most important of which are that the

the franchise does not exempt the COM
pany from being taxed for a license.
Councilman Martin wanted the matter
laid over for a week and have copies
