ASKS FOR ONLY A WEBK'S TIME

‘Was Given to Understand No Fran-
ehise Would Be Granted and
Therefore Is Not Ready.

~ Dr. P. E. Doolittle of Toronto, who is
visiting the Kootenays in connection
with some mining © business, and who is
alao repreaenting the Economical Gas
Apparatus Construction Co., of Toronto,
in speaking to'a representative of the
-Hecorp regarding the gas franchise his
company Is asking for, said:

“Y think the mayor and -city council
acted with undue haste last evening in
requiring my-company to. submit a pro-
position to the-city tonight to putin =
gasworks in Rossland, and I.trast they.
will reconsider. it, It will be remem-
Lbered that some time ago [ made appli-
cation for my company an@ asked foran
sudience with that. honorable body to
explain our proposition. I waa then in-
formed that the city was contemplating
puttingin ‘a lighting plant or buying
one, and that there would.be no use of
me going to the trouble or expense of
submitting a proposition or aiking for a
franchise. Z
:“In the meantime Nelson has, bys ~
vote of 800 to 31, accepted my company’s
Proposition and given o us # 25-year. fran-
‘iike; of couree with the: ‘privilege o ‘of the:
city:to to buy upon very favorable terms.)

‘That sent ‘for my family to come .
and visit this: mining country, and was
ou my way to Northport to meet them
and came ‘by way-of Rossland, little
expecting that a gas franchise was to be‘
considered. In fact I did not know that
the matter was up or that there was to_
be a meeting of the council last night,
and was therefore. not prepared, and
cannot be prepared tonight.to submit
8 proposition in detail. |

“On account of my company having
to put ina plant at Nelson, and on. ac-
count of facilities and coal contracts I
feel gure that we can make thiscity a far
better proposition than any other com-
pany, and insist that I “should be given
time to get our engineer here. I think
it neither fair to us or the citizens of
Rossland for the council to enter into =
contract with any other company with-
eut giving waa chance. Iam not an

of delaying matters until July 1.
