According to an article published III

want to ask Mr.. Lucking, if that is
the case. why give the ID. L. r. day

reasons. certainly give the d. U. r.
very dangerous added rights, and Mr.
Lucking and Mr.. Frazer ought 10
know IL. They certainly do know that
the ID. Z. r. has never been known TO
live up 10 its franchise contracts, or
carry out the terms of ordinances eX-
cept at the end of expensive lawsuits
Now, IL that has been their record in
the past, can9 We expect anything dit
ferent in the future?
Il was just wondering what kind OF
an iron-clad agreement Messrs. Luck
ing and Frazer intend to draw up that
would prevent the ID. u. X. from find

this, before a purchase price has been

are insignificant compared with other
losses that could take place under the
terms of the proposed franchise. or
which | will herein mention few OF
them.
First-There is no provision made
for the operation in the city OF the
interurban freight, express or passen-
ger traffic. either for the present or
future years. which should be worth
millions of dollars; in fact as much
as the entire interest at the present
time in the city system is worth. All
this traffic Is on streets where fran
chses have expired, except one, and
that will expire in little over 2ls
years. and all will be left open for
future disputes and litigation
Second-There are no adequate ar
rangements made in case OF future
extensions OF the city limits. They
will tell you we will have municipal
ownership before that time. You may

The veterans were hot and tired and

they were still held up by the import

with the same vlgor and enthusiasm as
when they went away.
The canes cut from the field were
special favor granted by the gov
ernment 10 the old soldiers. These
were the souvenirs most coveted by
the survivors. Civilians were not al
loved to cut them from the Gettysburg
trees, bur each veteran was allowed
to take one slip from that part OF the
grounds which he remembered as his

The first installment OF veterans
was followed by another special carry
