The Southern Public Utilities
Company of Charlotte Tuesday night
was awarded the franchise to furnish
light and power for the city of Hick
ory for a period of 30 years, action
of city council being unanimous. Mr.
Z. V. Taylor, manager of the corpor
ation, made a bid of three-fourtiss
of one per cent, an increase of a
quarter of a cent over his bid last
spring, when the offer was rejected.
The company will begin to make
i Improvements in the service as soon
as the necessary papers can be signed
i up, and the naw rates, which are de
clared to be as low as those prevaiifng
;n Charlotte or any other town in the
state, will become effective at tha;
t me. According to Mr. Taylor large
improvements will be made as soon as
practicable, and a white way may be
had if the citizens want it.
There was a large audience to
watch council pass -on the question
Tuesday night. Many of the leading
business men were there and those
who spoke, with one exception, said
they believed the Southern Public
Ut'lities Company was the proper con-
em. Mr. J. D. Ell'ott, Mr. J. A.
Martin and Judge W. B. Counc il, al
thought that it takes a big concern
to do big things and that th Char
lotte company was prepared to move
things. Mr. P. A. Setzer, who was
called on by Mayor WhHener, saul the
chief concern was lower rates and bet
ter service, but that he did not know
anything about the merits of the bid.
He rade it plain that he was not of
fering any objecton, but simply was
desiring to learn how the franchise
would affect concerns. Mr. Cil ey
and others told him that the scale of
rates was lower than the present
scale.
There were to offers for the fran
chise, one of which was by Col. Mar
cellus E. Thornton. On motion "f
