Henrietta Gas Franchise.
At its regular meeting Thursday
night, Jan. 4, the city council grant-
ed a franchise to A. B. Edwards and
associates, successors and assigns,
to put in the necessary system of
pipes, mains, etc., fo'r supplying Hen-

premises that two companies may
give as compared to one company.—
