Enfranchised Women

Gil at its last session opening the polls
to women at the city election Tues
day December 81, only twenty
}ur women had registered for the
vote at City Clerk David I. Paulk's

morrow for registration and no one
not registered by that time can cast
ballot in the city election. There
is no contest for any office in the

that an independent candidate will an
nounce to give the new voters
choice of candidates. The Woman's
Club and the w. c. T. u. however.
have urged women to register and a
number will probably do so today.
For the information of the women
interested in the ballot lically the

following quiz on few points of par
tlchlar interest. Other questions
and answers will be printed from time
to time as occasion demands them.

differ on the points of duration of
the franchise, The use OF the streets
for telephone po'es, and the franchise
fee.

The telephone company asks per-
petual franchise which the city hest
tates to grant; the council objects to
spelling the appearance of the city
by wires and poles, on the streets; the
company wants to pay $500 year, as
specified in the present franchise; the
city wants to assess $500 a year.

resent the city. Attorney D. E. Grill
fin represents the company. Mr..
Wall and Mr.. Griffin spoke. for their
clients at the Friday night meeting.

purpose of the company in seeking
the new franchise, was to get an I'M

the council was limited by the chart
er to granting franchises for periods
OF no longer than twenty years. If

ically expire twenty years from the
