AS to the bedding. the report says
that no sheets We're found and that
the pillowcases were filthy. AS to

The Retail Plan
Is NOT a 2O-Year
Franchise!

A Franchise is any permit to private
concern to use public streets or any common
property.
The right to hang a banner across a
street or build a passageway above an alley IS
technically franchise.
The Retail plan to settle the water
dispute---while technically very limited fran
chise--- is; an effect merely giving the Water
Co. a temporary right to continue using City
streets and alleys until we can agree upon
asonable price for the city to pay for its plant
The City may exercise the option
and buy and take over the plant within the
first year or at the end Of any SIX months period
thereafter This was never intended to be
long term grant.
The plan provides that both sides shall
have an equal voice in fixing the price.
The Retail Plan Means
the first actual step toward
Immediate Municipal Ownership
not another 2o-year franchise
The very meat Of the Retail plan is City ownership.
The permit is only temporary and can
be ended just as soon as the City feels sure
the price is night and is ready to take over the
property
And in the meantime every user of
water gets 10 per cent. reduction in
rates.
