LARGE INVESTMENT IN PROSPECT Union Pac! nd Deal in Sarpy Extension Trackage—Country Club PI Comnty ot A. H. Murdock returned yesterday from & business trip in lowa and immediately topk up the new electric lighting proposi- tion for South Omaha. Referring to the personnel of the company he declared the stock was all subscribed by local men and the company would be financed and under the articles of Incorporation will be man-| aged by the citizens of South Omaha, as long as the company exists. He said he was not ready to publish the list of stock- holders yet, but would do so shortly As to the Intent of the company in sub- mitting a bid, the attorney sald the com- pany expected to furnish public and private lights and sell power to the full extent of its Influence. He maintained that the bid of his company was far better in every way than the old company's. The style of lamp and the power of the current offered, would in each case, prove of better light- ing capacity. To furnish this power pects to erect a power plant to cost be- tween 25,000 and $150,000. The site for the plant has not been seiecled, only it was sald by the attorney that it must be con- venient trackage property in the city. He sald arrangements had been made to push the erection of a power plant, o that it tie company ex- would be in operation by the time the con- | tract with the Omaha Electric Light and Power company expired. It is aswured that the old company will have to pay the same royalty as the old company pay and the old company will not be able to escape the royaity when the contract with | the city ceases. Land Sale Fulfils Propheey, Events have apparently verified the re- ports given in the South Omahe columns of The Bee three months ago that the Union Paclfic, through the McCague In- vestment company of Omaha, had bought a large and valuable tract of Sarpy county land along the present right-gf-way. The report was vigorously attacked by Edward | The | Dee at that time as an exaggeration. sale has been verified from many sources and 1s sald to have been admitted by Mr. Dee also The tract consists of forty odd acr west of (he Union Pacific tracks extend- ing from Chandler's road to the Douglas county line. The largest individual prop- erty owner to sell was Michael Crocker who has been an owner there for three years. He has made a very some profit The J. F. Murphy Real Estate company of South Omaha handled his and other properties in the tract. The company inter- ested in the purchase of the tract has been disappointed at publicity given the reason that some obstinate property owners hold out more vigorously with each repetition of the story mapagement sald that the men who were content with a good big profit, but who wanted to make & fortune out of their holdings, might check the whole proposi- tion. As to what will make of the property able theory is that the growth of the two Omahas will soon make more trackage necessity To Buy Site of Country Club. A special meeting of the stockholders of the South Omaha Country club was held last night at Library hall.
