While Jeffries will not discuss the luestion he insists that Eddie Smith 's 'the only man brought into the dls :ussion of a week ago whom he will agree upon as the third man in the ring.

SUCH A GRANT, IF ISSUED, COULD BE RESCINDED BY COMMISSIONERS NO TIME CLAUSE IN THE PROPOSED GRANT.

Alleging that the Indiana legislature has, not passed any law, empowering the county commissioners to give franchises to individuals or corpor ations, to erect electrical lines on the highways of the county, Wilfred Jessup. attorney for Robert Ashe, today filed a petition with the county audi-i tor asking for a special permit or grant, allowing Mr. Ashe to use the roads for this purpose. Such a grant becomes void as soon as the legislature passed a law com pelling such grants be given In the form of franchises. Mr. Ashe's proposed permit is very similar to the wording of the fran chise, which was rescinded". If it isgranted. It Is perpetual until the law iB changed, but still such a grant may be rescinded at any time by the com missioners..':; i. Mr. Ashe wishes to extend electri cal lines Into the following townships: Center, Jackson, Washington, Jefferson, Dalton, Perry. Webster, Harrison, Clay. Green end Wayne. He does not either specify the minimum or maxi mum rates to be charged. The following is incorporated in the petition for the issuance of the grant: The board of commissioners not having the right to extend a franchise. therefore the same cannot be asked for at this time; and while the undersigned is to believe that at some fu ture time the legislature will, realizing that by such methods only can the small municipalities and county communities be supplied with 24 hour service, empower board's o! commissioners to specifically grant and give such franchises, his successors and assings, will be willing to request and have extended such specific rights with its attendant liabilities to both grantee and county of Wayne, as may be by law then provided.
