R|OT0uS MEETING
Starts Hot Boxes on Paving and Gas
Franchise Question-Main Street
To Be Paved as II Stands.
Lawler Offers Municl.
pal Gas Plant.

The City Council met last night in
special called session, which was at
tended by all the Councilmen and a
number of visitors.
c. e. Jenkins, as chief of Fire Com
pany No. 2, appeared before the Coun.
Gil and protested against the report
that Company No. 2 had resigned, and
that Company No. l had not consulted
him in reference to the occupancy OF
the second floor of the fire house by
Driver Calhoun and family. The fire
committee will confer with the two
companies, and endeavor to adjust
their differences.
Secretary Hewitt stated that the au.
tomobile fire engine had been dis
cussed in the Commercial Club, and
that he had been requested to ask if
the Council would complete the pay
ments in three years if the citizens
would furnish the first payment.
Special Attorney Doremus pointed
out that the Council had no authority
to do this, and the matter was
dropped.
A committee from the Commercial
Club and the Main street property
holders asked that the Council defer
final action on the paving until Fri
day night, when the property holders
and business men would hold a mass
meeting in Carnegie Hall The COM
mittee had a copy of petition object
ing to the plan of paving fifty feet in
the center OF the street.
Judge ]. T. Maloney appeared be-
fore the Council and pointed out that
the bond issue had been planned to
pave Main street only and if put upon
Main street, it could be paved as it
now stands from Vick's feed store to
Parker's lumber office 1t developed
during the lengthy discussion which
followed that if Main street was paved
as outlined by the Council, money
would be left which might be used in
paving West Anderson street, which
the property holders on that street
have already asked for.
Alderman Wilson was sustained by
several property holders in the posi-. /
ton he has taken against narrowing
Main street.
The Council passed a resolution that
Main street should be paved as it now
stands, from Vick's feed store to Par
ker's lumber office, and only that part

sumo entire control, he intended tC
continue his residence here. He had
come to Bryan, and found the city in
darkness. 1t now had as good lights
as could be found.
Municipal ownership was a hobby,
as it were, with him, and he was in
favor Of it, and Bryan could be made
an example of successful municipal
ownership.
Mr.. H. T. Lawler Sr addressed the
Council, saying that the Council had
been asked to donate a franchise.
There was no bond, and the applicants
had no money. If Bryan wanted gas,
the LAWYERS would give bond and do
! it tomorrow, and give the city the
same fair treatment as with the light
ing plant. He referred them to Brad
streets for his responsibility and
standing. He insisted that before the
Council granted franchise that it see
all was on the level.
Mr.. Gammill then stated that he
was willing to withdraw in favor of
the LAWYERS. What he wanted to see
was gas in Bryan, and that it was
thought possible to get it piped down
from Mexia if franchises could be OBJ
tanned from five towns. He had no
scheme" nor feeling against anyone,
but wanted to see gas in Bryan.
Mr.. Lawler stated that he wanted
to see municipal gas, but that as Bryan
is utterly unable to put up the money
necessary for a gas plant, he would
build one and float the city's bonds
for that amount, and operate it under
the same arrangement as the present
light plant is being operated, SO the
city would derive revenue. A plant
rightly operated would pay the entire
expenses of the city of Bryan.
Mr.. Gammill suggested that fran
chises be granted, both to Hewitt and
and to Lawler, and let the
men who can get in first do it.
Upon motion of Alderman DAILY, Mr.. |
Lawler was requested to get his prop
'ition in shape and report it in two
weeks, whent he Council will consider |
both applications.
During the discussion, it was stated |
that Mr.. Smell had a franchise, and
hat he had notified the engineers that
ne would lay gas piping under the
pavement to be constructed on Main
street.
The Council adjourned.

Alderman DAILY requested that con-

Engineers Carson and Adams were
requested to appoint one master plum

Mr.. Hewitt asked the Council that
some action be taken on the petition
of Messrs. Hewitt and Gammill for a
gas franchise.
Mr.. ]. I. Lawler addressed the
Council saying that the Bryan Power
Company would never for an instant
stand in the way of municipality owned
gas, but this franchise, which has been
applied for by private parties, did
not appear to be a great concession,
but was in reality exclusive in its
workings.
He called attention to the expert.
ence that the city had with the old
Bryan Water Light and Ice Company,
which, he said, bore out his conten-
ton. For twenty years turmoil en-
sued from the careless granting of a
franchise. Gas was being drilled for
on all sides of Bryan, and might at
any day be discovered at our very
door. 1t is stated that the company
back Of the application for a franchise
will have five towns on the pipe line
from Mexia. This means a corpora
ton of strength, and can the city sue
cessfully fight it if it later imposes on
the city?
1t would only be IN the course of
time before the company would alb
sorb the city water and light plant, !
and Mr.. Lawler stated that he had |
been approached a number of times !
to sell out and use his influence in
the city sell its plant out. |
Some of these advances, he said, were |
made by men who control big money.
Mr. Lawler said that no one knew
who was back of the application for a
and that he had been told
that if he did not agree, he would have
and that the city would
have another lighting plant. He also
stated that on a former occasion he
was told that If he did not agree to
furnish current to the Bryan College
interurban at a two-cent rate there
would be opposition.
He stated that he would never OPP
pose entire municipal ownership of all
public utilities, but If franchises were
% be granted to private corporations,
he would ask for duplicate of the
gas franchise applied for.
He said that he came to Bryan be-
cause he thought Bryan was civicly
of what was needed to build
| modern city, and after the city was
lble to buy his lighting plant and as

TO THE VOTERS OF FAULKNER
 COUNTY.

Owing to sickness in my family, and having but few days to make the canvass of the county, it will be impossible for me,. to see and talk with each of you personally. It has been reported by some one that am being run and backed by the politi- clans of Conway, and that it is only a matter of a few days until will withdraw from the race. Now there is absolutely no truth in either state ment, and I want my friends over the county to not believe any reports that they may hear, for am in this racs to win, and will be in it until the sixth of January and then l hope to come out of it winner by large ma jority, and will do it if you will help me to defeat such methods as are be-
 ing used to defeat the wishes of the people, and this effort being fathered by a few cheap politicians who want to dictate the politics of the county. Are you going to stand for it? If not come out on the right side and help me win this race and I promise you
