Defendant Is Surety Company on Forfeited Franchise Land. SAliEM, Or., May 7. The Salem City Council and the Fidelity & Deposit Company, of Maryland, severed friendly relations tonight and will proceed to en gage in a war of litigation. The com pany was surety on the ?5000 bond given by F. R. Anson to be forfeited If he should fail to have an electric light plant in operation In this city by April 1. An son having made default, the city made demand upon the surety company for pay ment, as specified in the bond, with the result that George G. Bingham, attorney lor the company, notified the Council that he understands the terms of the agreement to be that the company will pay all damages the city may suffer by reason of Anson's default. Mr. Bingham says he is ready to confer with the Council as to the amount of the damages that have been sustained, if any. In re ply the city has Informed Mr. Bingham that all future negotiations In the mat ter must be conducted with W. H. Holmes, who will act as attorney for the city in a suit to collect the amount of the bond. The outcome of the suit Is of great im portance to the present city administra tion for two reasons: It needs the money and does not wish to be caught taking "gold bricks." The Council has all tho time been assured that if Anson failed to take advantage of the franchise given Ihim the city would get ?5000. As no dam ages have been sustained, it would ap pear that the city will get the whole amount of the bond or practically nothing at all. Cities that are in the habit of granting franchises may learn something atrom the result of Salem's suit on this bond. GRANTED STATE LIFE DD7L0MAS.
