six o'clock Thursday night
Give him a free hand and tell him to deliver the goods by any means short of bribery . I imagine he 's had experience with city councils and will know exactly how to proceed . I KNOW you can procure the rails and have them at the intersection of B and Water streets Thursday night . If Ogilvy can procure the temporary franchise and have it in his pocket by six o'clock Thursday night , you should have that crossing in by sunup Friday morning . Then let Pennington rave . He can not procure an injunction to restrain us from cutting his tracks , thus throwing the matter into the courts and holding us up indefinitely , because by the time he wakes up , the tracks will have been cut . The best he can do then will be to fight us before the city council when we apply for our permanent franchise .
