All this happened in September, 1560, and up to the present time the clothes have not been paid for. ‘The interesting part of it is that the tract was never awarded to Specht, and he utte °8 10 pay for the two suits that were ordered by him to grace the backs of these two Union Pacific attaches.

G DISCUSSED FIVE-CENT FARES Committees from Omaha and Council Bluffs Consider the Situation. NO DEFINITE PLAN WAS EVOLVED Council Blaffs People Want Omaha to Take loitiative and Close Thelr Streets to the Bridge Company. Yesterday afternoon a meeting in the in- terests of the >-ceut fare across the bridge between this city and Council Bluffs v held in Mayor Bemis' office. There were present Mayor Lawrence, City Attorney Hazleton, Aldermen Jennings, Smith and White, and Thomas s, Leonard Iver- ett, Spencer Smith and Messrs. Saunders and McCabe of Council Bluffs, with Mayor Bemis, City Attorney Coauell and Council wen Howell, Wheeler, Saunders, Jacobsen and McLearie of this city. Beyond a pretty thorough discussion of the matter notiing wa wplished. The Council Bluffs representatives led in the and did most of the talking in the interest of the reduced fare. Mayor Bewis presided at the meeting, The discus- sion was_started by Me. Whe who in quired whether the question of a d-cent f d not. entered into the late municipal tion in Council Bluff Mayor Lawrence vepliea that it had, and a victory was won on that ground. as he people believed that it was only just to have a b-cent fare, Mr. MeCabe of the eitizens' 100, said that the company any concessions, and set up that it could not afford to muke tion. The people of Council Bluffs had of- fered to furnish the company with a bond, indemnifying it from any damages or diminution of receipts, providing a b-cent fare was made for workingmen. MeCabe Roasts the Company. McCabe said that it was the right of peovle to have the reduced fare, and that the company would suf. fer no sses. The 81,500,000 of stock of the _ comp: nothing more than $30,000, as and had been issued to the stoc Upon that amount of stock an annual divi dend of 3 per cent is declared. He belie: that a cheaper fare would increase the re- ceits of the company and it would suffer no losses. He said that the company had vio lated every agres ut and understanding with the 3 wus receiving an exorbitant tariff, Mr. McCabe cited the fact that the courts had decided that a corporation should receive compensa- tion for its services, and that such compen- sation should be determined by municipal authorit this instance. He believed Omaha had more power in this matter, as no such company was known in Nebraska and had never been chartered or given a fran- chise. The company has no rights us a common carrier in Omaha and in his opinion the concerted action of both cities would result in securing what was right. Mr. Howell said that the Council Bluffs company had no rights in Omaha and was using the tracks of the Omaha Street Rail- way company under lease, paying for the privilege $500 per month Mr. McCabe explained that one of his remedies was for the city of Omaha to stop the company from running its cars into Oma thus compelling them to come no further than the center of the bridge. An- other remedy is for the Council Bluffs authorities to regulate the farves, making 1t not to exceed 3 cents on Broadway, which would bring the passenger to the center of the bridge. Spencer Smith of Council Bluffs suggested that perhaps a d-cent fare could be made on Douglas street from Fourteenth east to the bridge, and thus avoid the semblance of special legislation, which Mr. Connell sug- gested might be so held by the courts.

In juery as to whether the regulations by the city would not be in- terference witn nterstate commerce, Mr, MeCabe said he thought not, as the streets were the property of the municipality, and the municipality was vested with the absolute right to say to what use tho strects should be put. Mr. Connell said he entertained the same views of the matter and belicved the munic- ipality had complete control of its streets. Want Omaha to Lead, Mr. McCabe said that regulatiog the fares of the compuuy by the Omaha authorities would simply be a restriction for a conc sion. The right could be given the com to operate its cars in Omaha, unde; of not_charging any fares in the city then the Council Bluffs authorities, the company possesses a franchise and is not occupying the streets by sufferance as in Omaha, could fix the farc at so many_cents. Mr. Howell submitted figures showing fares over bridges in other parts of the country Spen ted oo ctically of only whea that on City, which v bridee eight miles in length, 5 cents is charged. He to Judge Bre s decision that there sk always be compensation above the fi charges. which are the operating expenses ot the road, and the interest on the bonds. Mr. Smith said that it was to the interest of both cities to have closer connection, and when that nad been determined it must then be ascertained if b fare will not work any hardship on the bridge company. He called attention to the action of tho authorities of Providence, R. L, in grant- ing a franchise to an electric strec rail company, in rewurn for which the company bays the city for the first five years 3 perceut of its gross re ceipts, and for every year after five years 5 per cent.
