Quite n number of business men of the
CITY met in the Fourth Avenue Hotel
parlors last Saturday evening, to hear
and discuss two propositions made by
two different parties.
The first proposition presented was
made bv Mayor Myler, of lola, and his
BROTHER. who lives at Bloomington, I'LL.
These gentlemen ask for leases on a ten
thousand acres of land in the county.
They also want a franchise from the
city of Garnett and they propose to put
down four wells This proposition was
presented BY Senator Crum, who had
talked with Mavor Myler. 1t was
thought, bv those who spoke, to be a
very fair proposition
Rev. Darling presented proposition
made bv Fred Ball. of Clinton, Illinois.
This proposition calls for leases on ten
thousand acres, but provides for no iraA-
chsc. Mr.. Ball does not specify the
number of wells he will put down.
At this point, it was suggested that a
chairman and secretary be elected. and
|. NJ. Craig made motion to that effect.
Senator Crum was elected chairman,
and John Vaughn was elected secretary,
