The delegation left the council
chamber and did not return. Tho
members understood that John O.
Mitchell was mayor and intended
to be mayor until his successor
should be elected by a vote Of the
people. That is why Ne term John

exactly what it says FOR during the
two years and u half that he Of
ficatad as chief executive he VAS

Two Achievements.
Two special achievements stand
out prominently in the history Of the
first John Q. Mitchell administra
ton, These were the awarding Of
franchise to the Tulsa street Rail-
way company and the awarding Of
a franchise to the Galbreath Gas
company. Tulsa is soon to reap the
benefit OF the reatriCtious thrown
around the street railway franchise
while its citizens have been saved
thousands of dollars through tn,
Ga,hreath Gas company franchise
The Tulsa OF 1909 was exceedingly
ambitious TO have a street railway
system, although IL was very little
larger than Broken Arrow Is today
So five Of its citizens organized d
company and got n franchise through
the city council under the conditions
/ Of the Arkansas law, that then hello
good in the Indian territory, on,
4 condition in the franchise was thal
Vthe company was to forfeit the sum
OF $1,000 If a certain portion of the
line was not in operation within q
specified time However, the oriSi'
nal incorporators soon got cold feet
and II became evident thit tho City
was to take down the $4,000. In or
der that none of the town boosters
/ would suffer any great loss the com
pany was enlarged to include about
90 men. and then negotiations were
| opened up with {, II. Boslcr and hle
