LET'US A I I 7 Local friends of the Kentucky i i i Company have been bringing' pressure to beiir J'or months upon the local officials and everybody else concerned for a compromise of the present rate controversy have been spurred.io renewed activity in the last few days, following- the of Judge D. C. Jones in the franchise, case that the company has a perpetual franchise in so far as the present use of the streets and alleys is made. With' i a i the friends of the Utilities Company are proceeding i their conversations and conferences with the various people in the cjt.v who are interested in the case, urging that now again is the time to this thing, because the courts are i so 1 positively in favor o.f-the company, and we had better get I out of them what can, before it gets worse! This is no time for a stampede.

The decision of. 'the local court should make WIJA'l'tWfiH-l-N- THE PKE.SENT NEGOTIATIONS OR I CLAIMS OF THE CITY THAT COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE A FRANCHISE. There is only one to do: Tljat is to carry this-case 16 a higher has been th'e plan of th city from the very beginning. The fact that in the recent decision of Judge Jones he has re- versed himself in previous rulings on demurrers; tilicrJ'ncl that thing as a perpetual franchise is irivijlvedP, in winch, the whole principle is-contrary to the public the fact.that the attorneys representing the city feel that they have a case in which the issues are clear cut and well defined," with authorities to back them up, is i i reason being only one.course for the city of Middles- born to and that is to go forward in this case, at as-early a date as and of the court of appeals is against them, to continue the thing to the Supreme Court of the United neces-j sary. With Middlesboro at the threshold of a g-rertl) regjon where power can be developed easily and economically; with Micicilesboro's industrial future dependent its ability to furnish cheap power, it behooves us to clarify the present.legal status of our relationship to the utility, company, in order that 'our rights and privileges may t)e definedvand set out for all time to come.

A compromise, in which this claim of a pevpetuaLfran- chise rifay be'surrendered for a short-term may or may not be a good thing. A franchise in which maximum rates are stipulated may be more iuimicable to the public interests than a perpetual from time to time a contract must be filtered into in which the rates must be speciiled. ('J Tiie present committee of business men ing uns whole question be careful not'to' be stampeded hastily into this thing. I wp are not gojnk to i a reduction in rates, why should we be in any Imuji to the company a contract? We can continue on om relationship, with an opportunity to call 11)1 th latli tion at any time. It is not going to be many until we will have a development of the Cove Creek I) un Mch ought to supply power to communities in i i in eluding Aliddle.sboro, at much less cost a i om ClU is now paying, a means, should considu Well the terms of any proposed contract, the length of time it to I and the rale advantages which it is going to i us before we enter into any sort of a compromise.

We repeat again, do not let us be stampeded! AND CASPER Casper's Brand of Whoopee I'M PROVOKE AT CA3PER 1 I I'VE BEEM TRYlNd-r TO PHONE.
