REDUCED ELKUS.N RATES | Unexpected Decision of the State Board of Transportation. MAY BE ARRESTED FOR CONTEMPT Federal Conrt May Cail on the Members to Show Caase Why They Should Have Disobeyed the rary Injonetion. Tempo- Liscons, Nov. 2. —[Special to Tne Bee The members of the State Board of Iransportation set their houses in order today in anticipation of a visit of the | United States marshal with an order for thoir st for contempt of court for disobeying temporary injunction of the federal in reducing rates, The preparing th fora tempor snce in the Douglas county jail bec the temerity to rodice the freizht ra vy point on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Iroad to Omaha. The reductin came about in the following manner For nearly three vears prior 1803, the Elkhorn road had charged an aver age rate of about 7 cents per hundred for shipments of hay to Omaha and all common points. On that date the company raised the average rate from 7 to 10'] ceats per hundred, and increased the mimmum capac- ity of cariond weights from 16,000 to 20,000 pounds. This action on the part of the roud created a fecling of iutonse indig- nation smong the many shippers along the liue and petitions asking the State Board of Trausportation to restors the former lower rates were cireulated ia mafiy of the promi- nent towns. ‘The board held a meeting tais afternoon for the purpose of considering the matter. to Octobes Restored the Old Rates. sturies of the hoard had gated the matter and when the board met this afternoon their finaings were ready for submission. They reported that the old tes nad been in effect for two 3 The s investi wonths prior to the inc tes scemed to be remuncrativ Under them the people along the Elkhorn roud shipped for the yoar ending June 730 tons of hay and for the VeIR “ahting Amountea to the opinion of Ui se able und excess June 30, 1 the shipments tons. The new rates, in retaries, were unreason- ¢, und they recommended that an order be issued requiring the compauy to restore the ol tes. When the board met it required but a few momen's to come to a unani: mous conclusion. Without a dissenting vote the company was ordered to restore the old rates at once or show cavse within ten days why the rates should not_be restored The general freight agent of the Elkhorn will bo served with a copy of the order of the board L0Wworrow Lower than Newberry Rates. A comparison between the rates fixed by the railroad and the board with the ones es- tablished by the legislature in the maximum rate law reveals she fact that the rates fixed by the legislature are nearly double the rates which have been in effect for so long a time. On distance of 180 miles, the legis- lative rato is 15 cents ver hundred The rate always_ in vogue prior to October 4 was 7 cents per hundred for the same distance. The rate sought to be established by the road under the uew schedule, adopted October 3, was 101, ¢ per hundred. The excessive rates fixed by the maximum rate law are explained by the fact that the commodity known to the com- mercial world as hay is classitied in the maximum rate bill as beivg in class C, while iu the railroad dlassification 1t is pliced in tion as to whethel rd comes in conflict issued by the fed today’s action with the in- ral court was and the memb of the board ime to the . conclusion hat the restraning order of the court simply prevented ~ the board from attempting to enforce the rates fixed by the maximum rate law. Secretary Dilworth, who has given the subject much careful study sinco the injunction was issued, is clearly of the opinion that the action of the board today will not bring it in contempt with the federal court, and the members of the board were willing to accept his advice and run the risk of incurring Judge Dundy’s displeasure. Brought to Time In a Harry. For several hours today the ofticials of the Lincoln street railway dia some lively hustling in order to prevent the city autho Junction thoroughly discussed ities from seizing the entire line, to- getaer “with all its rolling stock plant, equipment, ears the street rail refused to pay its paving nss ments levied against it under the city ch ter. The entire assessment due the city from the compsny, when the whole amount falls due, will 250,000 At the present time there is due $13,000. The company has taken advantage of overy legal quibble to evade payment and has claimed that it was not liable for the charges for grading and inspection. In order to evade the payment of its sharo of the expense of grading and inspection, amounting to 3,000 of the claim uow due, the company appealed to the courts, and pending a setiiement has refused to pay any part of its claim. Every request of the city treasurer has been met with refusal and e demand with silent contempt. The company arregaied to itself the right to decide when and how it should pay its dues to the ci Brought Suddenly to Time, T'his morning the city treasurer determined 1o settle the matter for good. He issued a aistress warrant for the whole amount of the city’s claim against the street railway company and placed it in the hands of Ser- geant Bartram of the city volice force. At 11 o'clock this forenoon Sergeant Bariram and six police officers walked into the general oftices of the company and gave the president of the company the choice of paying tne city's claim or relinquishing control of the enure system to the city. Four officers had been stationed at the loop at the corner of Tenth and O streets with instructions to watch for a signal from the general oMices, Upon receipt of the signal they were to board every car coming round the loop and run it into the power house. This would have tied up the entire system, but the city treasurer was meaning business this morning. Seared tho President. President Littlo was astounded at the visit of the police officers and_iuformed City Treasurer Stevenson and City Attorney Abbott, who accompanied the officers, that the city's demand for control of meant’ ruin for the company. 'he treasurer calmly informed the president that city the city did not want the road. It wanted the money due the city. President Little asked for time and was finally given until 2 o'clock this afternoon to consult with his attorne, This afternoon the company paid the city treasurer £2,000 in cash, gave a bond for the payment of the balance of the amount now due within thirty days and signed a paper waiviog all technicalitios and ackuowledgiog the legality of the entire assessment, and stipulating further that in the future every assessmont would be prowptly met. The uu troasurer agreed 1o the propositions, the company officials breathed a little fllier. ‘T'he action of the city treasurer is consid- ered a master stroke of policy and he is re- celving thecongratulations of the taxpayers for his firmuess in dealing with the company after patience und forbearance had ceased 19 be virtues, Stole » Wagon Load.

On D 1890, the ordinance was approved. The main condition of thisordinance was one requiring the company to commence the consteuction of its line on both sides of the Missouri river within six months of the date of- the ordi- nance and to complete its main line and have the same in actual operation’ from the main business portion of the city of Council Bluffs into Omaha, within three years from the date of the adoption ana passage of the ordinance, ‘‘provided, first, that the neces- ry legisiation could be obtained from con- gress for a bridge across the Missouri river, and provided, furtner, that all loss of time used by unavoidable felays, strikes, the tion of the elewents, the acts of God and public encmies or by injunction or other legal proceedings shall be udded to the above named specified time limits and the time above specified for the completion of said work shall be extended to that_extent, but such extension of time shall not in any event exceed a period of two years.” Work Bogun Prowptly. On November 25, 1580, onl fore the charter was passed, Bridge and Street Railway company was in- corporated so that virtually the franchise eranted the company by the legislative body of Council Bluffs was the initiation of an en- terprise that has demonstrated in a most re- markable manner its ability to carry out all its agreements, ata time when other pany’s capitalized for much greater amounts were forced to suspend operations by reason of the financial depression. Immediately upon receiving the franchise the company applied to congress for a char- ter to coustr gon across the Mi city stands h matters Dacombor, 1800, the the council and eys and certain ber 2 two days be- vhe Interstate at Council Bluffs, but determined oppo: on_was atonce et and the demand that the bridge should pro- vide not only for motor and street cars but for steam railway trains as well, with which demand the company s compelled to com- Pl bofore the charier, was rantod. This nccessarily took considerable time and the company instead of commencing the work at the time specified had to wait until very much later, after the secretary of war had approved the new drawings. In the meautime Council Bluffs was clam- oring for relief from the exorbitant charge of 10 cents by the Council Bluffs and Omaha Bridge company and the determination of the Omaha Bridge and ‘T'erminal company to give such relief calied down the blessings of the community upon the men connected with the East Omaha enterorise. Causes of the Delay. But unforeseen difficulti intervened in completing the new bridge across the Big Muddy. The strike at the Homestend Iron works delayed the on construction for months; then came the unusual high water, king away the false work and tramw ch also delayed the completion of th ure until the summer was gone. and stead of having the bridge open for trafc last April, as provided for in the fi con- tract, the structure was only opened for rail trafic last week. Tue charter granted by Council Bluffs ex- pives within a month or two. and recently \sslsuun. General Manager Webster ap- cared before the council asking that the franchiso be extended two yeats for the reasons given. But a chango seemingly has come ovor the legislators, and they are not s0 much in favor of granting the extension 1s they were in giving the cowpany the franchise. The reason for this is thought tobo a $1,200-damage claim, which the city will be compelled to pay unless it can force the Omuha Bridge and Terminal company to pay the claim. In order to completely realiz the franchise it was necessary for the company to commence the construction of a railway r 1 Bluffs within six months after the passage of the ordmance. This done by putting in a track overone of the crossings, but cmbedded deeply in the winter a gentloman whilo out ghing was seriously hurt by the runner his sleigh catehing in the rail. Heo sued the city and recovered £1,100. \ ailed to make the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company a party to the suit, but it is understood the council now wants the company to pay the claim before an ex- tension will be granted. Mr, Webster's Opinion, In talking about the situation Mr. Webster said: “We submit that when we obtained the tranchise we did so in good faith, with the honest intention to push the work with the utmost rapidity to completion; that we have unceasingly and earnestly labored to bring our enterprise to successful completion, and that under the circumstances we have really accomplished as much as could possibly have been expected. “From the city of Omaha our street car line has been constructed and is in operation to the site of the bridge. The bridge is now in such shape that the line can cross. The stroet car rails are on it and the line is roully at Council Bluffs' doors, but the time (without unavoidable delays). within which to have the line completed 1s about to ex- oy PO ur charter requires that we shall carry passengers from Council Bluffs across the ergu and into the city of Omaha for 5 cents. For many years the travel over our line must, in the nature of things, be lLight. The line itself will, without doubt, be run at a loss vntil the northwestern portion of Council Bluffs has been largely setiled and hias been built up with the homes of workmen who may be employed in the factories which will, without doubt, be located on the west side'of the river, in what is known as East Omaha. If our company is to be met with a friendly spirit on the part of the Bluffs ana ens we will build our line withall possible spe If. on the other hand,we are to meet opposition, contention and perhaps litigation on the part of the Blufs it will be a serious question with us us to whether we shall care to further extend our line.” Mr. DeLong, secrotary of the East Omaha Land company, speaking of the afair, said that naturally he supposed the citizens of Council Bluffs would defend the new com- pany with muskets it necessary, as it gave them the only hope of relief. But now he thought opposition had got in its work and hedidu't know if they would build into the Bluffs or not. ‘The situation is decidedly mixed. and should Council Bluffs do thigg hasty in the matter it may find itself without its long prayed for relief from the Council Bluffs and Omaha Bridge comvany.
