construe the provision in the city's light

company seeks to have the street light

sires to have the lighting contract trans
ferred to it, notice has to be given to the
lighting company and it then has two
months in which to commence and one
year to complete a street car line. If
it does not avail itself of this, then the
contract shall be transferred.
The lighting company CONSTITUTES the
contract that before any other company
can start work ON a street railway line
it must first be given chance to build

This was accepted by Mr.. Schmitt
Mr.. Hixon proposed as a substitute
that the council be asked to award the

motion.

motion was carried and the meeting ad-
