 tions told the members of the city council that they were willing to com ply with any conditions that were reasonable Meetings were arranged, and at tbese the various members of the council made demands on the com pany for what they thought should be given to the City of Bisbee in ex- change for the valuable privilege the company desired The matter was gone into thoroughly, and as a result the company agreed to a , cent fare in the corporate limits of Bisbee; to give the city 20 per cent of the net profits of the company; to give s900o in cash to the city when a 4o-foot road is constructed up Tombstone Canyon, and other minor considerations.
 Having got the representatives of she company to accede 10 these de- mands the councilmen felt that they had asked for all that was reasonable, and decided to pass the matter up to the voters for their approval.
 The resolution calling for special election to be held in the city on June 12. today. was passed. and from that time on the public generally has taken a great interest in the matter The various commercial bodies of the city requested the representative oi the Warren Company to meet with them and discuss the franchise, and this was done As result every com mercfal organization in the city en. dorsed the franchise, and pledged It. self to exert every effort to secure a favorable vote on the matter.
 The people of Tombstone Canyon, who are without doubt, the most deep Iy interested in the matter, arranged meetings for that section of the city, and discussed the franchise from every possible point of view with the representatives of the Warren Com pany. The feasibility of constructing d 4G-foot road up Tombstone Canyon was looked into, and the great ques- tion of taxation to defray the cost Of constructing such road was decided in a manner agreeable to all sections Of the city. the members of the city council. and Mayor Caven going on record as favoring the method of gen eral taxation. After the several meet ings. the people of Tombstone Canyon, who were most deeply interested, be came the most enthusiastic supporters of the franchise. and for the past two days have been using every effort among their friends to secure an al most unanimous vote in favor of the measure.
 Yesterday hundreds of men were wearing badges bearing the inscrip- tion. q Favor the Street Railway, and after speaking to scores of peo- ID tor. fine one who was opposed to the grant ing of the privilege.
 The polling places in the various wards win open lat o'clock this morn ing and will be open until s o'clock this evening. giving every voter a chance to vote. The polling place for the First Ward is the City Hall: for the Second Ward. Justice Hogan's of fee. and for the Third Ward. the par lors of the Palace Undertaking Com pany on Upper Main street.
 During the past few days the ques- ton of whether it is necessary to be a faxpaver 10 vote on the franchise has been asked probably many thousand times. In order 10 vote on the fran chige it is not necessary to be tax payer: all that is necessary is that the voters name was on the last great register of the City of Bisbee.
 After reviewing the matter thorough ly. the conclusion is that the citizens of Risbee should do their utmost to- day to roll up the biggest majority in favor of the street railway franchise that has ever been given to any prop osition. and in doing this they win be performing duty to the municipal ity. and will be .helping to build up a Greater Bishee. and the greatest city In fhe Terrifnrv of Arizona.
