In these cases the eity seeks to recover judgments pald in the Els- telder case, amounting $3,600; in the Burke case the sum of $2,300, and in the Schlegel case the sum of $500. At the time the gas company was granted a franchise here it gave a bond to indemnify the city against any damages accruing from accl- dents caused by excavations in the streets or alleys. The contention Is the Elstelder, Burke and Schlegel were injured by reason of the opening of the streets by the gas . | company. This must be so, as after & num- ber of trials the courts have sustained the elaims and rendered judgment against the city. Now the city is seeking to recover money pald in judgments and will show in court the agreement entered into between the gas company and the city at the time , | the franchise was granted. These cases have been carried on in the courts for a number of years and now the city attorney and the other city officials bope to recover on the bond given by the company. The amount of the bond given at the time the tranchise was granted ls exactly the same amount of the judgments paid by the city. Should the city recover, the money will go into the general fund That Water Contract. The city of South Omaha has a contract with the Omaha Water company to run elghteen months yet for the supplylng of water to 202 fire hydrants. The annual water rental for these hydrants amounts to $12,300 a year. This sum is supposed to bo pald to the water company in two payments, one on July 1 and the other on January 1. It now takes all of the money levied for water purposes to meet these payments. The signing of the water bill by Governor | Mickey causes South Omaha officlals to wonder where the city will land shoult Omaha acquire the water works, It is pre- sumed that the city of Omaha will carry out the existing contract, but what is to come after 1s worrying some of the people here. Those who bave meters pay 35 cents per 1,000 gallons, while. the house rentals without meters are the same as in Omaha. Hydrant rentals ate $60 a year. Some time ago an effort was made to induce the coun. cfl to extend the franchise of the company ten years upon condition that the city re- colve fifty fire hydrants free of cost for two years, and the rate from that time to be $50 per hydrant per year. There was some 0p. position to this measure and so the propo~ sitfon was lald aside. Now it is considered too late and the city officials are inclined to think that they made a mistake in not entering into a twelve-year contract when the opportunity offered.
