Consider the Franchise.
On the invitation of the council, w.
c. Lawson, who has applied for rail-
way franchise for his proposed line
between Rock Island and Galesburg,
explained his proposition. He stated
that he had selected a different route
from that named in the ordinance,
when he first came here, but had been
advised that the other route would
not be advisable. and accordingly, at
the suggestion of business interests
here, he had changed the line to in
clude Fifth avenue and Seventeenth
street. Mr.. Lawson spoke as Frankly
as he did in discussing the matter a
few days ago with an Argus represen-
tative, and stated that the franchise
is to be given for a railroad railway
in every sense that the Rock Island II
the Burlington are, except that cleo
tricity will be used for power, instead
of steam He stated that 70 or so
pound steel rails will be used in the
construction of the line.
No Intention to Mislead.
Replying to Alderman Smith, M
Lawson stated that in securing the
petitions for. the right of way there
had been no intention to mislead. and
those who circulated the petitions did
not Intentionally keep from the prop
erty owners the fact that the line is
intended for the transportation Of
freight as well as passengers. He ex
pressed a willingness to accept a re-
striction in the ordinance, to permit
the operation of the freight part OF
the line only during certain hours at
night.
He stated that any other route than
the one suggested IS acceptable to him
if it leads to First avenue and Seven
teenth street Mr.. Lawson in fact out

COUNCIL TALKS OF FILTER
Votes to Wait Till Monday and Then

An effort was made last evening by
Alderman McNealy in the council
committee of the whole meeting, to
throw over the entire filter project,
and reject all bids. The motion, how
ever, failed TO receive a second, AMI
the council will not abandon the pro-
ject so hastily. Alderman Smiths sug-
gestion was that the council wait until
Monday evening for further replies 10
letters regarding the qualifications Of
the different consulting engineers, and
then make some definite appointment.
His motion carried. as an amendment
to motion by Alderman Tuckis that
the council proceed at once to APP
point consulting engineer.
The cost, it was suggested, may lie
reduced materially when a consulting
engineer goes over the plans, and
passes on the situation. 1t was stated
that the larger scope of the plans was
largely responsible for the high bids,
and Alderman Blochlinger openly
charged that local contractors had
placed an exhorbitant price on the
excavation work. He stated that their
bids to the filter manufacturers were

local society the best way in which

Rev. Charles Virden of Springfield,

on to give short talk and responded
by telling of the work in which he IS

half a hundred members of the So
