CRITSER REAPPOINTED AS NIGHT WATCH

Terms of Interorban Franchise Are Agreed Upon at Council Meet* ing Monday Evening. All members were present at the city council meeting Monday even ing. There were two candidates for the position of nightwatcfh, Frank Ofit- • ser, the present incumbent, and William Childers. Critser was reelected by the unanimous vote of the council. The interunban ordinance was passed to the third reading after all the streets except Cullen and Forest and College avenue were struck out. The company is to have thedr choice of these streets. One route would cross the river at the creamery bridge and the other would plass the public square on the east side and would cross the Monon just east of the depot. The latter route would probably suit the majority of the people the best. ASter the third reading the law provides for the publication of thefnandhise, and a date muslt be set tor hearing objections to the franchise by the taxpayers. Thorsten Otterbeng was granted the use of the street tor building purposes. ~r —— The engineer filed an estimate of cost for the proposed sewer on Cullen street and the petition was continued.
