case still worse is that the invalid

At the meeting of the chamber
of commerce and several business
men at noon today to discuss the
Corbin franchise, passed by the
council and vetoed by the mayor,
about 60 men were present, and
the following decided on:
A committee of five shall be ap-
pointed by the chairman, F. E.
Goodall, to meet with the council
next Tuesday and talk over the
minor details.
If the committee and the council
cannot get together sn a reas enable
length of time and make any
changes in the franchise which they
think to the best interest of the
city, then the present franchise
shall be granted.
If the three roads, the o. r. & N,
Spokane & International and the
Washington Water Power company
can get together and build the
bridge and other things specified in
the franchise then the franchise
shall be changed.
The meeting was called to order
a. about l o'clock by F. E. Goodall.
Mr.. Goodall said: This special
meeting was called at the request
of a large number of business men
to talk over the franchise of the
Corbin line. l thought it would be
to the advantage Of all to meet at
once after the vetoing of the fran
chise by the mayor. l hope the
discussions will be in a business
like way, and that you will keep
your temper and indulfe in no per-
sonalities. | know we are all for
Spokane. l take great pleasure in

The mayor then took the floor
and said:
