Denison, April 14-The city council
has been having some midnight ses-
sions the past week wrestling with the
gas franchise. Tuesday night Mr.. KEEL
ley appeared before. the council and
thoroughly explained his end of the
franchise, and Wednesday night the
Denison Electric Light Company's
agents were before The council explain
ing matters.
While the general sentiment of the
council and also of the people is for the
establishment of gas plant, yet the
council does not feel like granting a
franchise until the matter has been
thoroughly explained to them.
The one point at present on which
the council is holding out most strongly
is the rate per thousand cubic feet
Both concerns applying for franchises
have fixed the rate at $1.5O per thous-
and cubic feet, and this seems to be
in the mind of the council, entirely toe
large, especially when a franchise is
asked for twenty-five years. Should the
council decide on granting franchise
+ to either one of the companies applying
special election would have to be
held in the near future submitting the
proposition to the voters, and by them
would the decision be made.

Objections Made From bitches Nos.

Northwood, April 14.-The question
of drainage of agricultural lands is at
tracing much attention in many parts
of the state. Proceedings are pending
for large bitches in three districts in
Worth county, one of which is partly
in Winnebago county and is called a
joint ditch. All of these bitches have
been ordered by the boards of super
visors and only one appeal is pending
from the order. That is an appeal of
the Northwestern Railway Company, in
which the objection is made that the
company was not legally consulted in
locating the crossing. of the railroad
right of-way.
Contracts have been made for
large part of the work at 099. and 10
cents per cubic yard. Objections were
made to the assessment of benefits
from bitches No. 1 and No. 2, which
were sustained, and the assessments
We're set aside, and commissioners
were appointed to make another as
sessment.
One ground of objection to the as
sessment was that The whole of each
40-acre tract was included in the as
sessment and computations, while it
was claimed that Only the land bene-
fitted should have been included. The
commissioners appointed were Hon. H.
L. Olson and E. H. Miller, with Guy G.
Loge as engineer.
