Mr. Nolan Says He and Fran
chise Are Much Misunder
stoodNew Offers.
Claiming that ho and his fran
chise wero much misunderstood, fin
ally admitting that ho wns not very
familiar with waterworks nnd fran
chises nnd might hnvo accidentally
misinformed tho council and urging
that ho bo given nn opportunity to
redraft and present nnothor fran
chise, Mr. Nolan who Is negotiating
for tho Coob Uay Wator company,
appeared beforo tho Marshllold city
council last night nnd mndo a
rather lengthy statement. Ho was
accompanied by Mr. Jackson who
stated ho represented a Mr. Nyo who
was to bo associated with Mr. No
lan In tho proposition.
Tho final results wero that Mr.
Nolan and Mr. Jnckson woro told
thnt tho council would bo glad to
meet with them nnd tnlk tho mattor
over but at this time tho council
could not grnnt them a franchlso
owing to tho fooling thnt tho plant
should be municipally owned. Coun
cilman Forguson explained thnt tho
North Rend nnd Marshllold councils
aro now sccnrlng data on n munlcl
nplly owned plant and expected to
submit tho mattor to tho pooplo at
a gcnoral election but that If Mr.
Nolan would prcpnro a franchlso It
might bo submitted nt tho samo elec
tion. It was finally agrcod thnt
Messrs. Jnckson nnd Nolan should
meet Friday ovenlng with tho city
officials as Individuals and tnlk over
what tho council thought would bo
a fair franchlso.
Mr. NoIiiii'h Views.
Mr. Nolan In oponlng his romarka
said that ho was surprised to find
thero had been so much misunder
standing of his nttltudo and of tho
tentative form of franchise that ho
had submitted. Ho snld that ho wna
not n waterworks or franchlso man,
nnd did not know much nbout ratos
as ho was merely a lawyer. Ho said
that tho franchlso offered had boon
hastily drawn on tho ndvlso of ox
porta who went over tho proporty.
Ho said thnt If hn hnd boon nblo to
remain hero after making bis first
proposition, this mlsundoratandlng
might hnvo boon avoided possibly by
explanations. Ho snld ho might have
returned sooner only owing to tho
ndvorso criticism ho hnd boon In
clined to remain nway at first.
Ho then stated that ho had In
tended to go over tho tontatlvo
draft, correct It and submit a now
form of frnnchlso hut tho ndvorso
criticism hnd prevented htm doing
It. This stntcmont struck somo of
tho city olllclnls as strango as they
know that ho had proparod nnother
draft of franchlso nnd forwarded it
horo although It was not formally
presented to tho council. Again bo
stnted that tho tablo of flat ratos
provided for Marshfleld which tho
councllmcn figured out woro a groat
Increase over tho present rates had
boon prepared by nn oxpert who fig
ured them out from tho cost of tho
local plant. Thoso rates, ho said,
woro so figured that thoy would pay
six per cont Interest on tho bond Is
sue for tho $lfi0,000 tho old plant
would cost nnd tho $50,000 or $05,
000 that tho needed Improvements
would cost. Lntor ho stated that tho
tablo of flat rates had been taken
from tho St. John's franchlso on tho
ndvlso of somo bond export.
During his remarks, ho attempted
to show that Tho Times had been
mistakon In somo of Its criticism of
his franchlso. For instance ho said
that tho franehlho ho askertr-j only
n twenty-par franchise- Instead of
fifty becnubo tuo rlty was given iq
prlvlleajof-nuyliiK It ut tho oxitdV
tion of twenty years or at fivem-
lntorvnls thereafter. However, tho
franchlso specifies that It is grantod
for a term of fifty years subject to
the chances for the city to buy It.
Ho also claimed that the table of
flat rates didn't make much differ
ence becnuse ho Intended to bavo all
business put on the motor basis so
