And on the 7th day of April,
1910, at a meeting in which all
the Councilmen and the Mayor
were present, the same being
not a call meeting, the Council
passed, as above stated, without
giving notice to any of the ob
jectors to the increase in rates
by. said Gainesboro Telephone
Company not authorized in their
franchise.
Believing th it corporations
and individuals should stand on
the same footing with equal

pany been increasing or decreasing
during the past three years? Like-
-wise for said time do the earnings
of the Company show an increase
lieving that no corporation, per'
son or individual should be al
lowed to exact tribute of a peo
ple by reason of a franchise,
thus enabling them to declare
dividends on wind and water.

ture welfare and development of
our city, for these and other
reasons I tender my resignation
