Ashes Attorney This After
noon Alleges Board Can
Not Give Franchise.
He PETITIONS THE AUDITOR
SUCH A GRANT, " ISSUED, COULD
BE REscINDED BY COMMISSION
ERS-No TIME CLAUSE IN THE
PROPOSED GRANT.

Alleging that the Indiana legislature
has not passed any law, empowering
the county commissioners to give
franchises to individuals or corpor-
ations, to erect electrical lines on the
highways of the county, WiIfred Jes-
sup. attorney for Robert Ashe. today
filed a petition with the county audi
tor asking for special permit or
grant, allowing Mr.. Ashe to use the
roads for this purpose.
Such grant becomes void as soon
as the legislature passed law COM
polling such grants be given in the
form OF franchises.
Mr. Ashes proposed permit is very
similar to the wording OF the fran
chise, which was rescinded. II it is
granted. it Is perpetual until the law
is changed, but still such grant may
be rescinded at any time by the COM
missione-s.
Mr.. Ashe wishes to extend electri-
cal lines into the following townships:
Center. Jackson, Washington. Jeffer-
son, Dalton. Perry, Webster, Harrison
Clay, Green end Wayne. He does not
either specify the minimum or maxi
mum rates to be charged. The follow
ing is incorporated in the petition fol
the issuance of the grant:
The board of commissioners not
| having the right to extend franchise
| therefore the same cannot be asked
for at this time: and while the under
signed is to believe that at some fu
ture time the legislature will, realizing
that by such methods only can thu
small municipalities and county com
munities be supplied with "a hour ser
vice. empower boards Of commission
ers to specifically grant and give sucl
| franchises, his successors and assings
| will be willing to request and hav,
extended such specific rights with 1T
attendant liabilities to both grante'
and county of Wayne, as may be b.
law then provided.

american News Service,


Jeffries Training Camp, Rowarden-
an, May 12.-Charlie White, the veter-
an New York referee, looms up as
dangerous factor in the Jeffries-John-
son controversy over an arbitrator for
the big battle OF July 4. His name has
been prominently mentioned since
Tex Richards visit here earlier in
the week and 1t is common gossip in
the camp that the Nevada promoter
suggested him as . compromise can
didate.
While Jeffries will not discuss the
question he insists that Eddie Smith
s the only man brought into the dis.
,ussion of q week ago whom he will
agree upon as the third man in the
ring. That means that If Smith is
not chosen an eastern man will get
the job. According to the report here
Jeffries left no doubt in the mind of
Richard but that he meant just what
he said.
