While there were three concessions asked, it was possible to grant only two, but these will be denied. One was that the city pay a part of the expense of a special election which must be held to approve or reject the franchise after the council has approved it. The other.

concession was that the life of the east Main street franchise be extended to a time the moment when all franchises of the line expire. Commissioner Becker seemed to have voiced the sentiment of the commissioners when he said, "I don't see what good it would do them to have a franchise in West Main street when all ether franchises had spired."

Hence, the best the peasant woman could do with her handiwork of weeks and weeks, was to exchange it for a bit of calico or some household utensil.

To eliminate this wasteful and antiquated procedure and to secure to the workers a fairer return for labor, organized distribution was then under taken. Selling Agencies were establish ed at European commercial centers, and in New York City (ditributing for America.)

Formerly, the items of lace manufacture, practically comprised only and laces by the yard.

Yard laces offer the most extravagant use of lace, inasmuch as these laces must be in the tailoring, to conform to the suggestions of Fashion, and only expert dressmakers are really able to secure reasonable results from the use of such expensive materials.

Furthermore, these lend themselves to distinct purposes and are in themselves suggestive ol stylish application. Thus having effected a most economical system of bringing the finished product o.f the Lace Workers (through its Central Headquarters) in direct touch with the world's greatest wholesale Centers and considering that about 25c a day of 10 to 12 hours, was satisfactory pay to the workers the selling prices were brought down to so low a level, as to permit the use of Real Lace by everybody; whereas before, only the well-to-do could afford the luxury of buying them.

This institution became a bureau oi minwtrv of schools and commerce.

Schools were established throughout inception of the lace making art. Proofs exist, however, that as far back the early Egyptians, laces were. being made; traces of them having been found upon some of the oldest known Egyptian mummies. It would require volumes to describe in detail the evolution of lace making. The greatest progress in the development of the art, as well as the most resultful efforts to make the produce commercially successful have been made within the Austro-Hungarian empire, and a few words about the conditions that exist there might be considered as descriptive of the general development of the art in other centers.

As is the case with all products of human ingenuity, lace making has been brought to a higher state of artistic and commercial development within the Austrian empire, because of natural and physical conditions. In a great many districts throughout the empire, the sources for livelihood had been largely minimized; the soil having become very poor, yielding but very little in the way of crops; in many districts formerly given over to mining, the mines had become exhausted and were abandoned.
