That Council Will Award the

There is nothing but trolh-y talk in
Brunswick those May- -in*i lii > lending
question on the street is, who will
get the franchise?
That question tnav be answered by
'he city council JLxt Thursday night,
uit it is 1 1 on; \Jr,\. The solans real
ize that they are handling a most
" * !

in a hurry to settle il 11. seems that ,
they are working in the interest oi '
the lily and will do whal they thlinh
is to the advantage of the taxpayers, j
But. from what can ho learned,'
there Is no reason why the franchise |
should not he grunted at tile meeting :
f council Thursday night. It seems '
t at. both the Stmeban and Roman per,
plo have submitted their linal propo
sitions, only that the Roman people
have been allowed to reconsider the
water portion *>f (heir proposition,
aid (his they will do Indore council
meets.
11l rn-*w tUrct the vyntei proposition
came a; an entirely new thing to Mr.
Roman when lie arrived in the city i
early in the woo It. He came to Bruns
wick, .r is said, to figure on electric
cars and an electric light plant, and
when lie was informed of the water
part of the proposition he was taken j
•ay surprise, as lie had not figured i
that in the franhise at all.
As soon as Mr. Roman was Inform- i
and that, council would not consider
it s proposition unless water was in
eluded ho went to work on that part,
of the proposition and submitted three
or four different, plans to council at
i lie meeting Friday night. Council
now has Ihe propositions under advise
meat
Mr. Sttachnn and his associates
have practically closed their proposit
ion and are now awaiting council - ;
action They expect somethings
definite at til® meeting Thu, and
night
The people of Brunswick are great
ly interested in this matter apd they
ire patiently waiting to see it set -
'.led. ivople are of course divided as
to which proposition they think the
city ought to accept, hut the majority
will no doubt ihe satisfied to see eith
er of the applicant i receive the fran
chise, What they really want is an
electric iar line and cheap) r light,
water and gas.
While the announcement has been
made many times before, it is be
lieved that, council will finally I
- ~lt c-b of the two applicants is
tn receive the franchise at the meet

On the other hand Attorney Dolmas

they have the noted case won.
Just who will he placed on the

not know who would he Die first wit'
ness called in rebuttal.
It was announced last night that
the state would call Evelyn Thaw to

what questions will be propounded to
her by the district attorney is caus
ing some little anxiety.

It is generally thought that. May
McKenzie, Evelyn Thaw’s most inti
