There would be no lack of fran chise seekers to supply St. Johns with water if there was not at the present time an existing franchise. Yet there is one party ready to ac cept a franchise and protect this city against all legal proceedings and possible complications arising there from. George J. Hibbard, an attorney from Seattle, was in this city the first of the week and expressed him self as firmly convinced regarding the brilliant future of St. Johns as well as his derire to secure n 25-year water franchise for the city. Mr. Hibbard seems to have con sidered the existing franchise very carefully, as he states that his clients will take care of any legal trouble arising. Just what Hibbard pro tKJses to do and how he proposes to do it is more than he will tell: but it is a surety that he is anxious to get in here with a water plant. He will appear before the city council at an early date and make his de sires more completely known.
