Bisbee daily review., 1907-05-21

MT. Metz, what do you think would be fair, or should be changed in the franchise?''
 "They should put up a guarantee; cant take peoples word; what they may be willing to do today, might not be willing to do tomorrow If they cant put it in immediately, why, then, when they can. It's quite q job to build ear line"
 Orient Realty and Trading Co., Scott Whaley said: q don't zee why the franchise shouldn't be grant ed 1 will do all I can for it, proyid- ed they go up the canyon. l am in- terested in 60 feet on Main street. and some other property around town. I would like to see the city force them to go up the canyon, by all means"
 "Mr. Whaley, what you'd you re quire of the council or think they should do further?'
 q don't mean that they should put up a bond The Warren peoples word is good enough for me if they say they will go up. don't think they will have any trouble in getting the franchise if they give their word that they will go up the canyon. I have considerable property at Warren, but more in Bisbee. As for roads. break the town and build good roads; raise the brokerage and saloon license and put it in the road fund"
 L. Rostaman. Merchant-'I feel the franchise a fair proposition think real estate will advance on this side"
 John NJ. Johnson. Lowell-"I think the franchise 2 fair one, and am anx- ious to annex to Bisbee, Never had better men hold of the lines than the present council, and for one am will ing to pay my share toward all the proposed improvements, whether they be up the canyon or down at Lowell. Give us better roads; we want to get the use of them now while we are living here. They must have them before long. or peo- pie will live and build where they have good roads. Go to it, Mir Coun- cil: we down here will do what we can! Do you want us to annex? Say the word, then"
 Frank R. O'Brien, of the Independ- ent Feed & Fuel Co. - Now, MT. O'Brien, you are around among the people a great deal of the time. Are we going to get a popular vote June 18th on the franchise?"
 Are they positively willing to go up the canyon?"
 k Yes, MT. O'Brien, have ever req son to believe so."
 If that is their intention, I per sonally am willing to give them the franchise. I am of the opinion that it would be of the greatest benefit to the people living up above the city limits. I think to get the benefit of the fire. police and 5c fares, that part of the town should annex to Bis bee.-
 What do you think of the road i'm provements?
 Well, I think it an excellent idea, something we need badly. The coun- cil have displayed considerable en- terprise in the matter, and they should receive the hearty support of everybody and encouragement of the general public. The City Council demonstrated their interest in the welfare of the city for street sprink- ling. by sinking the well at the June tion of Brewery Avenue and Review avenue for the down town district, and it is understood that they intend sinking another well up Tombstone canyon, and if successful in obtain ing water in both places they have shown their wisdom in their proceed ure in the matter, both as a saving to the city in their water bills, and a convenience to the city. It is hop ed that their efforts will be seconded by all
 Jim Nichols-"As far as I am con cened, I think it's going to be line thing. This is my honest opinion, not talking for publication
 But am around for that purpose" !"
 Well, then; all right. Now, do understand that they pay 5000 cash and 20 per cent of the net earnings?"
 That is one of the conditions"
 If We can do anything for better and wider roads, I am with you"
