front. This open way TO the river al
present belongs to the Martin Griffin
Estate, and the city is paying for its use
an annual rental of $50. !,
Two or three prominent members OF
the council opposed the resolution call
ing for the condemnation OF this prop
erly by the city. They think that in
case the city buys a water front it ought
TO buy enough TO do business on.
A motion TO reconsider the resolution
granting TO the parties who entered INTO
a contract with the city last fall, whereby
they were TO light the streets OF the CITY
from February list, an extension OF time
to November lSt next, was defeated.
The parties who have this lighllng
contract are the same TO whom light
and power franchise was granted, said
franchise to date from Nov. LIST next.
Up TO the present this company has
made no move looking to the fulfillmen'
of its contract or the acceptance OF lis
franchise.
