L NZW LICHTING CONTRACT UP Will be Formally Introduced in Council Tomight. COUNCILMER GO AHEAD SLOWLY 4 1 4 Biarbage Ghthering and Its Odorous Pecallarities Subject of Debate in Council Committee of he Whole, Councllman Bheldon brought forward Wk proposed new lighting ordinance, carrying @ contract with the Omaha Electrie Light company for a period of five years from December 31, at the meeting of the city counell committee of the whole Monday afternoon, It was read at length, talked over extensively, and then fled, to be replaced by an ordinance of better verblage. This will be read for the first time Tues- day evening at council meeting after which coples will be, furnished the councilmen for careful examination. Mr. Sheldon éxplaitied the dsrdinance as he read it. He sald it is practically a copy of the agreement about to expira, except that lghts will be furnished the city In its streets and public places for a fiat rate of $30 a lamp. “This will be further reduced,” he sald “to a net figure of) $58.20, because of the 8 per cent occupation tax, and that Is cheaper than any city In the country gets fts lights, with the possible exception of Cleveland, O. We have letters from thirty- elght different cities and you may exam.ne a tabulated statement we hava prepared ot their replies to our inquiries.” The chairman of the :ighting committee explained that the cost per lamp this year is 75, with a total rebate to the city of a little better than $14,000. Under the new contract there will be no rebate, since the occupation tax hits the company in com- mon with other public service tiors. Concession on Incandescents. Both Mr. Sheldon and President Nash \0f the Electric Light company also dwelt on the concession the company has made to let the city have its incandescent lights for 6 cents per watt, Instead of § cents, the present rate. Councilman Funkhouser also stated his bellef the new contract is a& £ood thing for the eity. Mr. Nash claimed the electric light com- pany has always treated Omaha with great consideration In the matter of lighting eharges, making very little money on the street lights, and losing ‘a trifle on the incandeescents globes. He insisted the $60 flat rate could not be given for less than a five-year con- tract. Councilmen McGovern, Johnson, Hummell and Berka were in a questioning mood, and asked many times for information. The replies they got bore the appearance of frankness and good Intentions, but they reserved the right to shake their heads doubtingly until until they have gone care- fully over the new ordinance when it shows up. corpora- Councilman Burmester voiced the thought | of some of his colleagues, after the meet- ing, when he said that he objects to mak- ing contracts that will run over the term of the present council. "I don't like this eary-over plan,” he said. Talkfest on Garbage. Gasbage was the fare of the committes in a Jengthy language feast. It had been long since the members had enjoyed a chance to chew on. the waste food, and some of them sailed In with litt'e or no caution. Others, like the two kids of the councll, Schroeder and Davis, and the old fox of the bunch, Hummell, lald off to see the effect on their vehement mates, The stuff is still undigested. Health Commissioner Connell bit a plece right out of the center when called into the game, and Counci'men Berka and Brucker cut in with vim. MecGovern took @ sly hand now and again, but to Berka and Brucker was left the heavy end of the work. 3 “You come on and show me where we can do anything with this mess and I'll give In' quoth Judge Berka to the ju- dictal-fronted Brucker. turn over this new consignment of gar- bage law without giving away our whole | hand,” he continued, not do." ““The city attorney and his assistants showed you the inside of the whole box," retorted Brucker, “when they assured the councll the present garbage ordinance is “and that we must Good because of furnishing the | “We simply cannot | In good standing will hold t of approved odor, contra It its terms enforced.

If the contract for the garbage pick 1 good, let us protect |the men who own the privilege and are under bond to the city. If the contract Is good, then we ought to adopt other plan, after the legai department has stuck its finger in the potpourri. The district system has been in operation in Denver for fifteen ygars, and it might do as well here.” After hearing the legal objcctions of Judge Berka to leaving any possible loop. hole for the present contractors to break away, the committee passed on to othe: tems on the menu, leaving the garbage teature and non-collection of garbage be tackled by Mr. Burnam and his sistants. A letter from Guy L. Axtell, garbage gatherer, saying uation s growing worse and worse ail the |time was read by Br. Connell. The coun- cllmen were unanimous in agreeing with the statement of Mr. Axtell Tracks on Eleventh Street. It was decided to pass at this evening's meeting the resolution giving the Union Pacific the right to lay tracks on Eleventh street from the north line of Capitol ave- nue to the north line of Dodge sireet.

The blds included all cl ot material from paving brick to creosoted wood block. The contracts were sought by nine different firms. The bidders were: The Natfonal Construc- tion company, The Barber Asphalt Paving company, Offerman Plumbing, Heating and Construction company, Dan Hannon, Hugh Murphy, Charles Fanning, Mike Jensen and the General Contracting copany. The blds were complicated and the low bidder in one class of materials was often Wigh in other. It will require a complete tabula- tion of the bids before the lowest bidder in ch class of paving Is determined. Each of the bidders was required to fur- nish a check as a guarantee of good fa Several bids were conditional and will prob- ably be ignored on that account. The Bar- ber Asphalt Paving company made 8 stipu lation that over 25,000 yards of paving b awarded before the propositions should be city s an and Construction company stipulated that the designated kinds of paving block should be used at the bidder's option and this will probably invalidate the contract The bids were referred to the committee of the whole councll and the city enginser for tabulation.

Three new paving ordinances were ad- vanced and put upon second reading. A protest was received against the grade of P street, from Twenty-second to Twenty- fourth streets and of Twenty-third street, from O to Q. The Savings Bank and Trust company made a bld of par for a block of $19,00 worth of grading bonds for the grading of M street. condition that the city pay $400 attorney tees and enclosed no certified check.' The condition of the bid will probably cause it to be rejected. The salary and departmental were allowed. Suspected Burglar Arrested.
