The franchise will expire In 25 years. Dr. Ileatle was given a francjiiae more than two yeursago, but defects In It caused trouble in fi nancing the proposition. The action of the council at the last meeting rem edied these defects and now the hold er of the franchise say he will have no trouble in obtaining all the capital necessary.
