General James A. Truitt of Jun
eau, concerning a letter written
by Mr. O’Connor in reference to
the status of the Lomen lighter
age company being amenable to
the c»ty council in fixing its rates

not amenable under the law, the
matter was dropped. No motion
or action being made at any time
as to its disposition.

named by the Mayor to draw
same up. Mr. Bassett who is
going to the states will look up
the tractor companies and sub
mit to the council his findings, be
fore any thing further is done.
