MAY NOT GRANT
GARY FRANCHISE

1t was stated today that the city of
Gary may not grant a new franchise to
the Gary & Interurban railroad at this
time.
The road is in the hands of a federal
court receiver. Members of the board
of public works are somewhat dubious
over the grant as the bondholders' pro-
tective committee are keeping them in
the dark. They do not know who is t

Technically Receiver c. D. Davidson
is to receive the franchise. but he has
only such power as the federal court
grants him and could not carry out ex-
tensions save where Judge Anderson
allowed. Unless the ultimate recipi-
ents Of the grant can handle the deal
it would mean that the franchise would
be worthless as far as the city is con

The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1916-09-13
WE MUST CLIMB HIGHER.

Greenwood is now talking about a Great White
Way. Our sprightIy neighboring city, with It's
afternoon daily, is now wanting to climb higher
and get in Greenville's class with a White Way,
also. Let us say that a White Way is worth more
than it costs and if Greenwood wants one, the
city should have it, and if there are any OF the
progressive citizens of Greenwood who desire to
see the most beautiful white way in the state let
them come to Greenville and take a look down
Washington avenue from the river, east, or from
the Valley station, west, Or the Southern station,
north. Greenville has a White Way in all its
glory and the broad streets in all their beauty
Greenvile Democrat.
The esteemed editor of the Daily Democrat is
correct in his assertion that Greenwood is want
ing to climb higher along all progressive lines,
and we rise to assure him that they are going to
do so. We mean business about having a great
White Way in Greenwood. The truth about the
matter is, we're getting a little sore over the con-
tinuous boasting of two or three less pretentious
Mississippi cities about their magnificent White
Ways and other improvements which we haven't
got in Greenwood-but must have. So let's all
go to it with a vim.
