There is plenty of talk on the

granted by the town council uf
Adamston and that it will soon have
a system in operation there.
just when the company will APP
ply is not known, nor is it given out
what sort of a franchise it will ask
for. 1t may be the matter will be
deferred until after the election but
there is nothing definite as TO this.
1t is not even known as yet whether

eral months ago to ID. p. Stout, coif-
tanning certain restrictions relative
to the streets to be used and requir-
ing the payment of specified
amount of money yearly to the city

Persons claiming to be in position
to know say the Hutton Company
has ample territory TO provide good
service for both Adamston and
Clarksburg.
Those associated with the conf
'pany and movement have not given
the matter sufficient publicity as vet
TO warrant any definite statement as
TO the intention, or whether there is
real ground to believe that franz
chise win be applied for in the inl-
mediate future or at all, althougli
there appears from what can be M
officially gathered that such.a moves
ment is in embryo.
