 The question is soon to be revived, according to statement made yester. day by Attorney F. C. Jacobs of the law firm of Stoneman & Jacobs, repre- senting George W. P. Hunt.
 "We are working on another draft of ordinance which we will,present to the city council next week, said Mir. Ja. cobs yesterday.
 "This will contain some amendments to the ordinances for franchise here tofore presented, and, l think, should make it a little more easy to come to an understanding as to the form of the franchise, but there is this wish to tell you, and that is that this is posi- lively MT. Hunts last offer Readers of the Silver Belt will re- member that, when Mir. Hunt applied to the city council for franchise q couple of months ago, several other concerns came into the field, each col leeting data through representatives and calculating the profits to be made out of the investment.
 The upshot was that all of them re- trained from making any formal appli- cation to the city council, leaving Mir, Hunt as the sole applicant. One of these outside concerns, the Denver Gas & Electric Light company, notified the council at its meeting a couple of weeks ago that the situation had been inves- tigated and that it was not considered by the company advisable to invest The others did not go that far, but sim. ply left the field without any waving of flags or blare of trumpets.
 The Hunt proposition was debated at length by the council. The applicant for the franchise was asked to pay lH per cent of the net revenues for seven teen and one ehalf years, beginning sew en and one half years from the date of the granting of the franchise. The track in Broad street was 10 be paved inside the rails and two feet on each side, a street-wide brdge of steel and concrete was to be built over Pinal creek at the intersection of Broad street, double wagon roadways were asked on every bridge built by the com pany, and at the expiration of twenty five years, the property was to option ally revert to the city, on the basis of valuation made by board of ap- praisers composed of three members, one from the company, one from the city and one chosen by the first two. The Hunt interests agreed to most of these conditions, but baked at others, and the method of appraising the prop. erty at the expiration of the franchise was deemed out of the question by MT. Hunts attorneys.
 Just what the conditions made in the new franchise ordinance draft may be, MT. Jacobs would not say before the document is submitted to the city coun- cil, merely stating that the matter would be taken up with the council next week and would have been pre-. sented last night had the work been finished.

Yours
A. F.. AicNtil

To the democratic voters of Jefferson
 county:
 We the following delnocratsic voters of Barraque township, where A. F. McNeil has lived all his life, state that it is with regret that we read an article in the Pine Bluff Daily Graph ic of October 29, questioning his de- mocracy and signed by Mir T. H. Fort We think Mr. Fort is permitting him. self to be used by some one who IS seeking Mir McNeils defeat and as they have nothing to offer in their own behalf, are trying to deceive the public.
 While it is true MT Fort was d democratic nominee for constable and McNeil was elected, still it came about in way that no one familiar with the circumstances would doubt his de- mocracy and those of us who have known him here since manhood know that no man ill this section of the county has done more, both in point of time and with his means, than he to further the cause of democracy and no truer man and democrat can be found anywhere than he is. When Me Neil was elected constable he was not an independent candidate, in fact he was not candidate at all, nor was his name on the ticket, but those vol ing for him wrote his name on the ticket and marked the name Of Mr Fort and also the name of Mr. Charles Brown, whose name was on the ticket at the same time as an indepande nj candidate for the same office
 We know that McNel has always taken an activve part in all elections for the democratic ticket and voted an open ticket for Mr Fort at the very time Mr Fort complains about and asked everybody else to support the ticket.
 ONAAAN dissatisfied to support either Mr Fort or the independent candidate MT Brown, and just simply wrote Me Neil name on the ticket over his protest and elected him, and no man in the race for circuit clerk today has done more for the party than he nor is there a better or more loyal democrat to be found.
 When the county was Wrenched from the hands of the republicans and the county elected her first straight democ ratio ticket, Mr. McNeil was a democratic central committeeman from his town ship and led the fight to not longer fuse but to place a raight ticket in the field, and his township bein first called, cast the first vote to deny the republicans to Ion ger fuse
