BINDING FUTURE OWNERS TO THE TERMS Efforts to Fixa Maximum Rate Per Car— Kepresentative Citizens Appear De- fore the Board and Discuss the Proposition. If the members of the city council can come to an understanding, the voters of Omaha and Douglas county will be given an “_ Opportunity of expressiug by ballot thelr “\ooinion of the proposition to grant subsidies 1\the sum of $750,000 to whe Nebraska Cen- tral Rallway company to aid in the construc- tion of a bridge over the river at this point. For weeks the wmempers of the Board of County Commissioners have considered in committee of the wholo the advisability of submitting the proposition, and has fnally prépared & report to be suomitted to the board. The special election will be called if the report of the committes 1s adopted. The decision was reacbed at a late hour last night, and today when the board holds its regular weekly meeting, the report, to- gother with the amended proposition from the railway company will be presented. Ruther Binding Cluuse, When the members of the Board of County Cowmmissioners met in committee of too whole yesterday contrary tothe usual custom the doors were opened to the re- porters and a number of citizens. Tuis proposition was submitted to be in corporated as o purt of the contract with the Neoraska Central: No mortgage, deed of trust or loase of any ol said property, esstor west of the Missour river, or other instrumont affeotinz tho title o any thereof shall be made, exeeuted or de- liveréd thut does not contain verbatim the varagraphs of this proposition. and all rights that f I t to the ( und the is county psition un- I provision s fod with, til’ sald Nebraska Central Rallway conpany, 1ts successors or ussigns shull have exsoutod and delivered to this county i | strument in writing, duly witnessed a edged, to Dbe recovered in every county whereln any of sald property shall be od, which instrument shall declare and ide tha the property in question, and the title thereto 18 subjeot to tho terms, limita- a paragraphs as covenants of said rasn Conteal company, which shull attach to run with sald prop- erty In whatover hands it, or any of "1t wmay come, whether as assignee, lessee, morigagee, or purohuser undor fore- olosure 0f uny morFtgage that may be exeout- od thercon for the period of twenty-five years, Mr. Dumont urgea that the proposition had too much of the appearance of & mort- gage upoa the proposed bridge and tho road Aflter some aiscussion its final considera tion wes deferred until sowme subsequent meetivg of the committes. Concerniug the Bridge Rates, Then regarding be rates to be exacted by the railroad compauy the following amend- ment was lntroduced Central Railway company, d assigns, suail transport including transfer of frelght and ull s ineldental to such transportation, over \d bridge and wpproaches, us well us over Iway it shall construct within 100 miles of Missourl river, whether east or west thereof, for Just wnd reasouable rates or charges: and the charges for trapsporting freight over sald Lridge and its approaches pproaches shull be defined as follows the wost L0 & o oast of 3 g0 addition ) Counell Bluffs on the east, shall not exceed axunum rate of 81 per ear load of 40,00 pounds. Any shipper shallhave the right In his own Bawe o sue for and recover any damuges ho may sustain by reason of the violation of the aid provisions. or wny other provision iu this \tract contaned. OF pursue auy olber rem- sy offored bim by law. Tu case of differences as 10 what constitutes Jjust and reasonabld graph. the Board of County Commissioners, or said rallway company, or other interestod Party. may submit the same to arbitration under the arbltration clause of this uxree- ment, and the decision of sald arbitrators shall'be final, Vice President Dumont of the Nebraska Central said that it would be folly for tho commitiee to adopt the smendment, as it would tie up matters to such an oxtent that his company could Dot accept the bouds if they were voted. Should he accept them, thoy would Do useless, as thoy would be unmarketable, No tinancial com.pany would purchase bonds when such restrictions were thrown about thelr 18sue, What Does the County Get? It was at this point that Mr. John D. Howe declared himsel He wanted to know what the county was to get in return for the $l,- 250,000 that was asked as a subsidy, It was true that the bonds did not amount to that suru, but the right of way and other sub- sidies, added to the face of the bonds would reach that even now. The county was not interested in the sale of the company’s pri- vate bonds, but was intercsted in making the best posiole bagain to secure the rosa. He had talked with men who were in a position 10 know, and had beer informed that the proposed bridge could be built for 500,000, just half of what was asked from Douglas county., Mr. Dumont replied that he had supposed that Mr. Howe intended to be fair, but he had listened to siren voices; ne bad listened to John A. Horbach, who was deud set against the Nebraska Central bridge and the road as well. It was Horbach who bad said that ths bridge would costnot to ex- ceed §500,000, Mr. Howe did not give his road credit for what it roposed to do. The bridge meant only a small portion of the e: pense. The right-of-way through the city, ho said, was not a question for the county board to consider, as that was a matter forthe city to lcok after. 1f the commissioners pro- posed to take up the question of arbitration, that left nothing for the judges of the court, who oonstituted the regular arbitration board, with nothing to ao. Mr. Dumont then showed in what manner the construc- tion of the bridge and the road would oenefit Omana. 1t would bring in the east- ern roads and locate their western terminal points on this side of the river. Judge Stenberg urged that a maximum rate per car should be fixed; and, unless the rate was fixed, he thought the proposition would be defeated atthe polis Both Sides of the Rate Question, In speaiang of rates Mr. Dumont stated that his i1dea was to build a bridge that would cost $1,000,000. Other roads could use it and it his road was not tied down to cer- tain rates, they would haul their own froight over the same at reason- able tolls, tolls that couid be guaraunteed to be cheaper than those offered by the Union Pacifie. What Omaha wanted was competition. Competition Lhat meant a rate of §2.50 per car aud 10 cents per passenger when competing railrouds furoished their own motive power. As far as the bridge toll was coucerned, he did not belivve that was the question of paramount importance. ‘The main quostion was how to get into Omaba. 1f the commissioners went ahead and fixed a low rate, one that could not ba changed,it would be held out to the capitai- ists that'a rate war would be immiuent for all time to come and would defeat the sale of the bonds and kill the project. , Mr. Howe denied that he had sought his information from the enemies of the bridge scheme. He was limgly laboring in the in- torests of the public, but he saw that the gentlemen on the other side were loaded o the muzzle. He held that if the Nebraska Central bridge was built and a rate of 81 per car was made on 100,000 cars per yoar, the prolits from the bridge would ay the iuterest ou $1,000,000 of bonds and eave & sinking fund of $30,000 per year. This added to the depot charges, the tolis over the Iowa and South Oma- ua branches would ake @ great mouey makiug coucern. The bridge was not alocal affair, but it meant relief to the country to the east and to the westand he boped the maximum rate would remain $l per car. If it was found that that sum was wot enough then it could be changed. Mr. Dumont stated that if this was done his compaay could not accept the proposition. Benelits That Appear Certain, Mr. E. Rosewaler stated that be appearea 88 & tax payer, & property owaer and & citi- zov. What tad already been done by the company had gives Omaba considerable beus arges under this para- | | out. efit and if the road and bridge was bullt it would give Omaha a boom. the commissiouers should atiacn such restrictions to the proposition as to make it u farce and place ivin a_position where 1t could not beaccepted. The bridge rate, ho considerad, was a small matter when' the other benefits that Omaba would derive were taken into consideration. The construc- tion of the bridge meant competing lines as far east as New York and the lakes and | cheaper rates on everything shipped in and It was preposterous to talk about the Nebraska company carrying a car over its bridge and toSouth Omaba for #l. There had been talk about the Union Pacific having @ minimum rate of $ per car, but its maximum rate had frequently been as high as 812, Mr. Rosewater stated that he did not want to_say auytbing that could reflect upon Mr. Howe's source of in- formation, but he thought that it might have come from some ono oprosed to the scheme. John H. Horbach huad called on Mr. Rosewater and bad spent two hours telling him the old story about a cheap bridge. He had said that be could build a bridge at Florence for 500.000. Horbach had wanted to knook out tho Nebraska Central scheme and build 200 miles of road into the interior of the state. Cleveland, O., bad given $4,000,00 to uid in the construction of a viaduct and Douglas county could afford to give the bonus asked for, as the new railroad meant competition and better treatment from other lines. To show that another bridze meaut com- petition, he cited the fact of the construction of the Douglas street bridge. Passenger rates bad dropped from 50 cents to 10 cents, with the Uunion Pacitic owning a large intor- est in the latter bridge. Will Emancipate Omaha. The fact, he said, was that if the Nebraska Central bridge was constructed, that within two years Omaba would have such a boom she could control the railrozds instead of being controlled by them. Mr. Rosewater bad signed 85,000 for the proposed Hitchcock hotel, not that he thought that 1t would belp him, but that it would venefit the community; he had given to the Boyd opera bouse, but it was not with the understanding that the rate would be re- duced. In the matter of railroad rates, be believed that a maximum rate per pound should be tixed, but that it should differon different kiuds of freight, John L. McCague said the tronble was that Omaha had been bottled up too long tho pro- jectors of the Nebraska Central had outlined @ way 10 get out, und it should be left to the taxpayers to say whether or not they wauted the opportunity. Commissioner Timme was of the opinion that if the proposition was tied down with a lot of rate attachments it could not be uc- cepted, and in view of this fact ho moved that all reference to bridge rates and rates on tho east and west lno be stricken out. This was discussed at somo length ana finally adoptea, Judge Steaburg did not want the rate so low that it would block the enterprise, nor did he want it 30 bigh that it would defeat tuo proposition when it was submitted to the voters, Mr. Howe insisted that the bridge rate should be the same as at St Lows. He wanted a maximum rate, and if the commis sioners did not fix one he would wash his hands of tbe business. He then moved that the rate be fixed the samo us that over the St. Louls bridge. The motion was defeated, after which Mr. Howe aunouuced thatif the proposition went be- fore the people with Mr. Timme's motion fu- corporated, it would be deteatea, Adopted the Mortgage Clause, At the committes meeting held vesterday afternoon County Attorney Maboney ap- peared alone as the legal advisor for the board, and as s resuit an unusual amount of barmony prevailed. As a partof the origi- nal proposition, Mr, Dumont submitted the tollowing This proposition shall, after belnz duly acknowied<ed by the Nebraska Central Rail- way company. be duly recorded in the deed records of Douglas couuty, Nebraska, and for the period of twenty veurs after Junuary 1. 184, shall be referred to by book and page in any mort. deed of trist, or ieuse of suid briage and said railroad westof the Missouri Douglas cout ska, with the ent that the Ne entral Rail comipan sors und assi<us are Lo by the terma, iluitations and provisious of this proposition, Mr. Matouey stated that i his judgment the filiug of such a document amounted Lo & wortgage Jusl a8 much as the former propo- 1e did not thinx | wo thing uaccept this in the form of w mortgage upon the vroperty of the Neoraska Central, or rely alono upon the railway compauy for carrying out the terms of the agreaments. Mr. Dumont asked that both the original proposition and tbe amendment be elimi- nated. They amounted Lo mortgages or noth- ing. If thoy wore mortgages they tied up the property of the compauy, aud if they were not, then incovporating them in the agreoments was merely buncombe. “We would liko to put this on you." answered Mr. Berlin, “*but it it is going to kill the scheme, then we will do nothing of the kind.” BMr. Mahoney enquired of Mr. Dumont: oula you be willing when the bonds are delivered to your company to enter into an agréement that if the compauy fails to com- ply with the terms of the agrecment, or sells its property, that the bouds, with iuterest, shall be refunded to the couuty !’ Continuing he sald that 1if" the company would so agree, the county would bave a corporate Liability that nothing but a fore- closure would dofeat. Beforo Mr. Dumont could answer Mr. Stenverg moved tho adoption of the amend- ment offered by Mr. Dumout. Mr. Dumont replied that if the amendmert was to assuma the form and nature of gage it wouid tie the road hand and foot, us it would be a first lien upou eil of its nold- ings, and would prevent the sale of bonds for raising money to carry on the work of con- ruction. Mr. Mahoney carefully examined the paper and gave it as his opinion that notbing could be gained by tho couuty by recordinz the in- strument, theugh a court wight give it the construction that it was the intention to make the documeat & lien upon the com- pany’s lund. When a vote was reached all of the mew bers voted for the amendument. Settling the Rate Clause, Judge Stenberg offered the following reso- lutio: Resolved, Tkat it Is the judgment of this bourd that the interests of the c.ty of Omana and the county of Douglas can he best pro- teeted by fixing a maxiniuw rate from & point enst of Council Biufls, ln., scross said bridge to South Omaha, Neb., tncluding all spurs and tracks within the ity of Owiaha und two wiles outside of said city.
