Interested nnd a petition wns clrctt
lnted nnd signed by n number of
citizens praying council to grant thu
frnnchlso ns requested by tho Kcon-
omy Uus Co. Council wns now fair
ly cornered, nnd first rending of tho
proposed frnnchlso was ordered.
Attorney Martin of the L'couomy
das compmiy wns present nnd nfte
the- ordinance wvs read, taking nee
lion by Mclmn ho explained tho illf
ferenco between tha proposed frail
rhiso of tho Portland uns company
and tho one they wero asking for,
no staled tlio reason the company
iii.d decided to adopt tho title "Kcon
omy Uns" compnny was because
they now owned a frnnchlso under
that name In Portland nnd thoy
wanted to got awny from tho odium
thnt attached to the St. Johns Oas
Light & Ileal Co. through Mr. Dnv
Idor's former connection vlth II. Then
It would bo n difficult matter to
amend tho franchise given to that
company and thut It was fur easier
to draft u now ono nnd begin nnuw
under a different tltlo.
Tho frnnchlso ns rood wns certain
ly n desirable ono for tho city of St
Johns. Several polntu therein wero
picked out nnd dlscussod by sovornl
of tho council, to whom Is wuh quite
apparent tho now proposition wns
distasteful. Thoy questioned Mr.
Hi-wltt's connection with the com
pany, and nskod for affidavits to that
feet. Mr. Martin naturally rosent
ed tills question of his voracity, and
whim ho controlled his' feellnga ml
mlriiuly, It was plain to bo seen that
tho Imputation did not go down very
easily. Ho explained, however, that
ftd.it thoro Hoemvd to be so much
doubt concerning Mr. Hewitt's con
necilou with the company he would
give his phono number and any mem
bor waa nt liberty to call him up and
thus satisfy himself concerning this
point. Tills proposition woh not tak
eu udvantago of, however. Tho ques
tion of a suitable bond was thou dis
cussed, and Mr. Martin stated thut
they wero willing to put unyihlng
within reason. Upon suggestion of
Councilman Davis u $10,000 certified
chock was asked for nnd Jmmodlnto
ly ugreed to by Mr, Martin, This
Is doublo tha amount asked from
tho Portland Ouu company, Every
point raUed was acceded to by Mr.
Martin who was more than fair con
cerning every dotal), und ho pointed
out one or two points In thu Port
land Gas Co. franchise that wero not
well covered. Ho said his company
did not ask for an exclusive fran
chise and did not care what othor
company was also granted ono, that
Mr. Howltt was owner of several
coal mines and It was bis Intention
to mako tho gas for St. Johns from
that product which scientists havo
fully demonstrated made tho best
quality of gas, that tho coke derived
from the coal could bo utilized as a
by-product and other manufacturing
plants would likely result, and that
tho $10,000 plant called for In the
franchise would bo greatly exceeded.
At tho conclusion of his remarks
Mr.Bonham made tho motion that
the proposod ordinance havo its sec
ond reading, which was so ordered.
This Is as far as the presont coun
cil can carry tho matter, as It re
quires sixty days from the Introduc
tion of a franchise before It can
reach final passage according to the
charter. Two publications In tho lo
cal paper are also required before
It can roach third reading.
