Gaghagen und brought an exception from the llpo ot Councilman E. H. Balslger. "I fall to see where there Is any clause in the resolution which Indi cates an exclusive franchise", Mr. iBalslger commented. "I am sure that the three councllmen voting In Its favor, did not have any Intention ot granting Mr. Strahorn an ex clusive franchise." Councilman Charles I. Roberts, loader of the council majority fav oring the Struhorn grunt, said that talk that the grant should bo handled through the agency of an ord'nance was wrong. In support of his statement ho quoted the example qf the Big Lukes Box company which was granted the right to cross two streets on a spur line, by a reso lution passed by the coun:ll.
