Two Franchises Alny Require Some
Divorce Proceedings.
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.
