that the validity of the lease will be
attacked.
Notwithsta nding that our attorneys
here and in Chicago have placed their
approval on the legality of such a
lease, there Is no more effective way
of discouraging aud precludlng consi-
deration of Banking and Investment
interests than by threatened litiga-
ton. Moreover the tentative PROPOSE
ton provides that bond be furnished
to guarantee the completion OF new
power station within a specified time,
and az we could not take possession o.
the property until the courts have at
firmed our Judgment, our bond would
stand in grave danger of being for
feited by virtue OF delays caused by
litigation and the matter would thus
drag indefinitely.
am therefore compelled to with
draw my proposition, this action be-
ing acted upon BY myself and asso-
ciates. after mature deliberation.
l have attached hereto a letter Of
acceptance Of the franchise granted
me on August End, 1909, and l expect
