franchise has been granted. Think of
it, With all respect to the Mayor and
Board of Public Works of Gary. they
could not have appreciated the true
meaning of that section or they never
would have endorsed it.
The franchise does not even state
that Geist must apply for a. franchise
in Whiting or in little Miller. BY neg
lecting to apply for a franchise, he
can postpone the building period in

entities us to some consideration Gary
leads the world in many things; even
