AS a conclusive reason why this pc
of the council read Section 10 of the
city charter as follows:
N.".The city Of Walla Walla is hereby
authorized to grant the right to use
the streets of said city for the purpose
of laying gas and other pipes, intended
to furnish the inhabitants Of said city
with light or water. to any person or
exceeding twenty-five years, and to
authorize or forbid the laying down
of tracks for railways or street rail-
ways, telegraph and telephone APP
pliances on all streets, alleys and pub
lie places" etc, etc.
provided always that none of the
rights or privileges herein granted
shall be exclusive nor prevent the
council from granting the same right
to Others
The proviso at the close relating to
exclusive franchises for the supply of
gas or water or the operation of street
railways was regarded as a clincher on
the question of adopting the union
label on printing and the council, there
fore. voted unanimously that the petit
ton should not be granted
1t is indeed fOrtIIData 70, yEo1lo
Walla that she has councilmen so ia
mlliar with the provisions of the
charter which they have taken an oath
TO support. 1t may not be clear to the
average citizen what connection there
is between streets and alleys and the
union label. but long service in the

end of pleasure to thousands here dur
ing the stay of two weeks. Manager
Wright is an affable, courteous gentle
man, while only good people are con-
nected with his company. The Light
Infantry did not make financial sue
cess of their venture, which fact was
due to the heavy license tax imposed
by the city council, with other expen-
ses incarred, but the carnival pleased
in it's way, nevertheless.
