When you come down tomorrow, go and talk to the mayor in a nice wayvajid also to Shaw it ne Is there, but I feel sure he is against you. I will try and talk with Shaw and get out of him what he has to say and let you know. I was ex pectlng you back to see me last Sat urday; what was the matter? Dean speaking: Well, you know was down there In the morning and had a little , talk with the mayor and Shaw butted in. I tried to make him ashamed of himself, but he is too damn thick. I met Temple the other day, He was coming in the bar to have I drink, so we split a bottle of beer to gather. He told me you were out of town, so of course I didn't go down again. Willlston talking: Ho do you figure your franchise will fare with the council? Dean speaking: Well, I believe ev erything is all right there. The most of the boys sem to favor me and I don't believe they would put through a franchise for A. F. Knotts or John Nyhoff. My franchise Is nice and clean, a3 you know yourself, and I do not believe that any one can find a bad Haw. In It. v .Willlston r talking; From what heard, Nyhoff must of almost, copied from one of four first franchises; be fore you made! the correction. It struck me this way when the mayor read it You asked me downstairs to get hi franchise for you, but I do not know If I will be able to do It tomorrow, or not. but will do my best. I will tele phone up to you or you can send down and get it. Dean speaking: .Yes. I want to look over the monstrosity. You can tele phone me at Plttman & Watson's of nee and let me know. I have agreed to do the right thing by you and want you to help me out In every way Willlston talking: You will have my support and help in every possible way as I believe your franchise Is all right. I do not see what special rights the Steel company or A. F. Knotts, or either one. have on a franchise here. I . want to 'phone about that lot. , Q. Now, Just a minute. Now, going over four or five statements by MR. M'ALEER We would rather you read It all there. MR. PARKER All right. Follow that along. MR.

I might be a day or two before I canget It, as I might not be able to get ahold of the mayor's copy right, away. Speaking about tak ing those options, you had better make up a rough draft and let me have it In a day or two. How many ought we to have, four or eight?
