Cable Company.

1t was announced this morning by
the Standard Underground Cable
Company that the tenement house at
DeKalb avenue and High street which
they have advertised for sale to the

counted yesterday it was found that
twenty persons had bid for the build
ing. Mrs. Carlton was the highest
and the building was sold to her yes
terday afternoon. 1t is thought that

/. The provisions of the act entit-
led AN act regulating the granting
hy municipalities of consent to the

proved March twenty-seventh, one

mediately."
Such bill might have become a
law when capital absolutely dominat-
ed the two houses, but now that the
public is awake and it's opinion prac-
tically supreme, the attempt to amend
such Legislation can. only be looked
upon as grotesque effort to nullify
one of the few concessions already
made by the peoples Representatives
to the people.
BUT THE EFFORT MUST BE
DEFEATED and that can only be ac-
complished by arousing public opin-
ion against 1t.
Board of Trade, Civic Associations
throughout the state are urged to lay
thes facts before their members and
take immediate steps in opposition to
this thoroughly vicious measure.
