Portlanders had an opportunity Wednesday night of getting an insight into the merits of Bon villo 99 Year System, at a lecture held in lecture room B of the Central library building. Tho subject was "The applicability of the Bonvillo 'System to the great industrial enterprises of tho country," and was well hand led in a masterly manner by Fred W. Jobelman, who has had large experience in corporation mntters.and is thoroughly famil iar with the methods employed by tho stock manipulators of Wall street. Mr. Jobelman was associated for several years with tho principal attorney for tho Credit Men's Association in Now York city, and has had ex ceptional opportunities for study ing tho giant octapus of "Big Business" at first hand. Tho lecture was well attended and enthusiastically received, and reference to tho remarkable suc cess achieved by tho Equal Rights Company of St. JohiiB, incorpor ated under tho Bonville 91) Year System, was loudly applauded. Arrangements have been made for tho holding of a series of lectures dealing with tho system at the same place every Wednes day evening at 8 o'clock during tho remainder of tho year. These lectures will be free, and St. Johns folks are specially invited, adv. ' Communication Editor of St. Johns Review: Will you kindly allow mo a few lines in your paper to corruot a statement made by you some live weeks ago in regard to a statement I mado before tho council when a petition was in troduced to the council in regard to getting the Bull Run water; that I had a decision in full from tho Attorney General what wo could do, or tho city could do. 1 stated that ho would give mo a decision in full, so I think that In justice to tho Attorney Gen oral and mysolf that you would correct the statement mado by you. Now hero is tho promise that Mr. Crawford mado to mo when I first confronted him for his finding, and I also asked him if I could impose on his valuable time, if ho thought it was liablo that wo could do as stated, but before any definite decision could bo mado ns to whether or not tho city of St. Johns has tho right to put in or tnko over the water system, ho thought it would bo necessary to havo also a copy of tho city charter before any definite decision. So, of course, I sent the city charter and also a copy of tho water franchise. But on January tho 9th I had a letter from Mr, Crawford stating that it was imnrmsililo for him ut the nrescnt time to give tho matter the ser ious consideration it deserves, but in his finding he states if we can show that tho water plant is not efficient and whore a contract virtually creates a monopoly, and that monopoly becomes oppressive, that the contract may be set aside or ig nored. Mr. Crawford also in his finding states that some courts hold that an exclusive franchise can be given, and others that ho cannot. And how can our city atttfrnoy hand down a decision to'tho city council when tneiaws are so complicated that our At torney General cannot interpret the same? C. J. ANDERSON. 401 Philadelphia street.
