EDISON FRANCHISE.
President NIuIvane Thinks That It
VIII Be Granted

The granting of a new franchise to
the Edison Electric Light company will
come up soon for disposition by the city
council Joab Mulvane, president of the
company, this morning said: THE mat
ter is in the hands of the council and
it is for them to act. I would like to
have them settle it as soon as possible.
If they are going to pass it I would like
to see them pass it or if they are going
to kill it they should kill it-weH, per-
haps, I shouldn't say that for I believe
that most of the councilmen are in
favor of granting the franchise"
None Of the members of the council
will say when the franchise will be
brought up for reconsideration but from
indications which are current it is prob
able that the council will vote upon it
at an adjourned meeting of that body
some time during the month of May.
Mr. Mulvane states his belief that the
franchise will be granted without any
further difficulties
