The main features of the measure are: Primary rate reduced from 11 to 8 cents; see ondary rate, 6 to 53 cents, for resi- dence lighting, and reductions from 11 and 6 to 8 and 5% cents for com- mercial lighting. Assistant City Attorney Lambert told the commissioners that this schedule of rates would mean an ag- gregate reduction of nearly $150,- 000 a year to patrons. The council decided to retain the present system of determining the primary, or Int- tial quantity, based upon lamp ca- pacity, and cut out the 50-cent mini- mum from the Dahiman ordinance. Commissioner Ryder protested against | the passage of the ordinance just before an election and announced that he re- served the right to have the matter re considered at a later date. On Invitation from the commiss’oners Vietor Rosewater expressed his views, termine the initial quantity is on actual amount of current used as meas- ured by a meter. Mr. Lambert sald he was inclined to belleve there is & lot of “piffle” in the ‘‘readiness to setve” sys- tem used by the light company in charg- | ing the primary rate, but advised the counefl nevertheless to stick to it “There is no uniformity under the pres- ent lamp measurement system,” said Rosowater, “nothing to serve ag a gulde The readiness-to-serve method /is wholly arbitrary. It leaves the company free to charge anything they want for the ini- tial-quantity. It might be well to make several classifications, but ecach class ehould be on a uniform basis.” Walt Tiii Hleetion in Over, Mr. Ryder declared it is “poor business and poor politics” to pass an ordinance (Continued on Page Two, Column Four.) hastlly at this time. “I would prefer if the councll had the ,moral courage to hold “this over until after clection.’ Commiesioner Butler -insisted - no snap | judgment was being taken; that he did not see anyvbody appearing in the council chamber demanding 6-cent electrieity. Mayor Dablman and Attorney Lambert stated that the flat 6-cent rate promised by the antiadministration candidates would have the effect of actually In- creasing the revenue of the light com- panv nearly 100 per cent, as most of the current is now being sold for less than 6 cents. Fower Rates. The new schedule contains these rates for retail power: First 200 kilowatt hours, reduced from ¥ to 8§ cents; next 400 hours, reduced from 5 to #4 cents; nut um hours, refuced trom 3'.to 3% cen of 3,30 hours, % cents per- hqul‘."hlch u the present rate.’ The fll.fltholunll’ power cibient was not rev Heating and battery charges, rvduatd from 6 to 5% cents, per hour. The rM\lqu of § per cent lvr,pnymznl within ten days has been retained. Attorney Lambert figures that the aver- age redyction will be about 15 per cent. He cited as a typical residence case, one in which the morthly bills would be re- duced about 2 per cent. P, 0.

The Omaha Electric Light & Power Com- ‘pany is a purely commercial organization; public service and public-serving corporation. It is deeply interested in the growth and welfare of Omaha. It is not interested in any party or faction. E It does not support and is not supporting ‘ —vigorously or otherwise—any candidate for It has no place in politics, desires no such place and would not have it if it could.
