TIME WENT BY.
And No Effort Was Made To
Keep Franchise Valid

Saturday was the day upon which
the time limit was aeached in the
matter of the Street Railway fran
chise held by the estate of the late
H. M. Dalton. AS work did not be-
gin within 80 days, the first condi-
ton of the franchise has not been
complied with. 1t is now within the
power Of the Council to declare the
franchise forfeited and sell to anoth-
er applicant should there be one.
The prospect for street cars this
year is by no means encouraging.

The democratic party is split wide open
with two states for state representatives
and senators. Two states are an
nounced, one being the supporters Of
Mayor Dahlman and the backbone of the
Dahlman club, while the other slate is
composed of an element not disposed to
associate with the Mayor Jim and his
crowd. The states:

While in a few instances the same candi-

the separation is so wide as to cut quite
figure in democratic politics. so many
democrats affirmed Friday morning.

Charges that there is a creamery trust
have been made by some of the smaller
milkmen and IL is understood an investiga-
ton OF the accusations may be made by
the October grand jury. The milkmen as
sert the big creameries have an agreement
to fix the prices of cream. butter and milk
and are attempting to drive the indie
pendent dairymen out OF existence.
II is also charged that one of the largest
OF the diaries has offered physicians a
reduction Of % per cent in the cost Of
products bought from them in return for
recommendations of its products. This was
denied by the manager OF the concern
involved The milkmen also charge the
campaign against warm milk, instituted by
Health Commissioner Cornell, is part of
the plan to drive them out OF business.
They charge the rules and regulations APP
piled to them are not required OF the
creameries.
! In reply to this accusation DIR. Cornell
said, Friday:
II have not made any requirement OF
( the milkmen that have not demanded
OF the creamer1es that retail milk. have
instructed my inspector TO get samples
from all of the concerns retailing milk
and I have shown no favors to anyone

any regulation OF my department which is
applied TO milkmen and not TO creameries
