There was quite a crowd present when the ordinance wes read by City Clerk Patterson. At the conclusion of the reading, the clerk was ordered by the mayor to offer for sale the three franchises, and the first bid was $10 for the first franchise. This wes increesed to $15 by Mr. Booth, of the American Telephone Co., and it was closed in the oame of that company for that amount. The next franchise was sold, and Mr. Henry Bielerman, who claimed to represent the Kentucky Electric Telephone Company, secured it by a bid of $100, Secretary Hunter, of the East Tennessee Telephone Company, the one operating the present system of telephones, and Supt. A. L. Joynes, were both present, but did not bid on either franchise. Mayor Lang stated at the conclu- sion that he did not think that the council could for a moment consider the $15 bid ef Booth, as no franchise was ever sold in Paducah for less than Mr. Booth claimed that the city was getting the best of it any- how, and did not seem to like the mayor’s attitude in the least, declar- ing that his company had already se- cured 300 suscribers who had never paid for telephones before. When the third franchise was of- fered for sale there were no bidders on it, and consequently it was not sold, The ordinance specifies that the lines granted franchises shali be in operation by the first of next June. It is probable that Mr. Booth’s bid will be rejected by the council to- night, which will leave the American Telephone company, which is the one that has been trying fer some time to get in here, without a franchise, of- ter all its trouble. The ordinance specities that no two franchises shall be granted to ene company, and while it is ssid that Mr. Biederman represents the same company that Mr. Booth does, it is likely that he does not, and if he does, his franchise will avail him nothing unless the council rejects the other bid. Mayor Lang is of the opinion that the council will tonight reject both of the bids for telephone franchises, in which event it would become neges- sary to advertise for thirty days The mayor thinks that fur- thermore the council will advertise no more telephone franchises unless it has a guarantee in advance. It cost about double what one of the fran- 8 brought to advertise it. & Hanson at Morton's Thursday Night.
