OIL TANKS ARE CHEAP, T0O i | { oll burner fnstalled. The $100 patd for 600-gallon sheetiron tank that was buried out in the back yard near the alley line, and also for the burner that was put into the furnace, | The man who had the $100 and would not have an oil burner put in was looked upon as & cheap skate. The man who did have the necessary $100 and had a burner installed was the envy of his less fortunate and poorer neighbor. Now there has been a square face about in the relative positions of the {men who put in oil burners and those Wwho did not. The man who did not {have the money to install a burner :nnd the one who had the money, but Invested in coal instead of oll, as a ‘rule. has the laugh upon the meigh- | bor who put in and tried to heat his home by burning ofl. It is not known to an abgolute cer- | tanty, but t is asserted that during Sep- | tember, October ana November of last | Year. between 800 and 800 oll burners were | installea tn Omaha homes., There were |80 many of them that after the owners | Comenced to burn oll, the fumes from | the burning fluld permeated the air in every part of the city, At one time there was talk of an ordinance against burn- {Ing oil because of the objectionable odor that came from the chimneys. The peo- ple who burned ofl rose up in thelr wrath |and quickly put a quietus on the pro- posed plans. They were able to convince [the city couneil that, like the odor trom | degree of aristocratic standing and that no inteference would be brooked. Craze Has Died Out. As it is now, there is no necessity of llh. passage of an ordinance of the kind talked of early in the fall, The ofl burner ity of the Belglan hare raising craze of & few years ago, and it dled out -lmu(‘ | 88 quickly. Now the majority of the men and women who were loudest In their ad- vocacy of oll fuel for heating, have | the residence streets of the city, ofl burn- | ers are hanging out on the fence, or have | been sold to the junk mian, to later be cast up Into munitions of war for the fighting armies of Europe. | On many hundreds of lots in the real- dential sections of Omaha are great mounds. They have the appearance of being graves of glants, but they are not. In them are simply buried iron tanks, twelve foet in length and three feet in dlameter. The market price of these tanits is §36 each, but there a whole lot of them that the owners would.be wiliing to sell at §10 to §15 each, f. 0. b, on the alley line. Some Work All Right. Bome of the ofld burners have worked to the perfest satistaoction of the oWners of the houses where they have been installed but this number has been small com- pared with the number that have gone bad. When the weather was warm they ‘well, but when the ocold spell of 8004 and since then then have been coming out of furnaces &t & much more rapid rate than they put in, A large number of instances have beeh reported of parties having oll burners that would heat the houses when tie temperature outside was 20 to 8 degros above, but when the temperature got down to 18 to 23 degrees below they sim- ply quit and loafed on the jobs, leavink the ocoupants of the homes in the cold, or clustered about the kitchen range. Price of Ol Advances, It is asserted that a number of the ofl burners that have been taken out have been removed on account of the price of ofl having advanced. In the early fall the people wWho put In burners con- tracted with the oil companies for thelr supply of oll at 4% cents per gallon. Subsequently oll was advanced a cen and then another cent, and those who ‘Were without contracts were forced to pay the high price. One contention is that the majority of those having their burn- ers removed were those who were forced to pay the top price for oll. Howe' ven at the 4% cents per gal- lon contract price, ofl has proved an ex- Even when the weather was not cold, the ofl bills for each twenty-four hours were about §.50 and when the weather was severe and more ofl was turned into the burner, the daily fuel bill jumped up 5 ocents. At any rate, there are & lot of oil burners and ofl tanks about the city that can be bought cheap. In most instances the parties who put them in have them on thelr hands. They were so anxious to get them Installed that they did not ask for, or require a guarantes, simply say- ing to some agent, “get that burner ia as quickly as you can and your money is EMPLOYS RUDE LANGUAGE BEFORE JUDGE: TEN DAYS Jess Martin of the South Side returned to Omaha recently from Walthill, NeM., where he asserts he husked 3,900 bushels Lean |of corn.

LAST YEAR AW, COME ON /N 11 VUST LIKE A LOOK INTO STREET CAR FRANCHISES Corporation Counsel Lambert Says Two Territorial Grants Will Expire Next Year. T0 MAKE AN INVESTIGATION Corporation Counsel Lambert has been authorized by the city eouneil to proceed with an exhaustive inves- tigation of the status of the fran- chises ynder which the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway com- pany is operating. A cursory examination of the records leads Mr. Lambert to belleve that the territorial grant given to the Omaha Horse Car company in 1867 will expire January 1 of next year, and another grant to the Omaha Motor company will have expired on July 2 of next year, He told the council committes of the Wwhole that he believes the grant to the Omaha Cable and Tramway company will expire in 1028, In view of what he believes to be two expirations franchises next year, he suggested the commissioners the advisability . of going into the matter thoroughly at this time. Mr, Lambert anticlpates the contention of the present company will be on the basis of a perpetual franchise, as indi- cated in a suit tried in the state su- preme court. Legislnture Takes Hand, The glat of the situation as presented by the corporation counsel to the come missioners was: “In 1867 a territorial grant was given to the Omaha siorse Car company, this purporting to be an exclusive right for fifty years, with the | tipulation that at the expiration of the franchise all tracks, depots and equip- ment should revere to the city. In 1888 & forty-year grant was given to the cable company. The legislature passed an act permitting the consolidation ot the separate companies. The Omaha Street Rallway company took over the horse car and cable companies. In it consolidation act the legislature speci- fied that nothing in the act should im- palr or effect any existing right of re- version held by the city.” It is understood that Mr. Lambert will submit to the coufcil a full report in writing as soon as he shall have ine vestigated all phases of the situation. Governor to Name Thursday Relief Day ‘The president’s proclamation designat-, ing next Thursday, January %, for the collection of funds for the relief of Jew- ish war victims is to be supplemented by proclamation by Governor Morehead, fix- {ing the same day for Nebraska as has been done by & number of the governors of other states. Word to this effect has come from the governor, who writes that he will be glad to help the cause along in this way. The local members of the Jewish war relief committes are busy perfecting plans | i for a vigorous campalgn on the special | day. The funds heretofore have been solicited only from Jews, but this one time the appeal 18 to be directed to all who may feel disposed to contribute. The chalrmen in charge is Harry B.

AW, I DIDN'T NEAN WHAT I SAID Captain Kline Gets Jobs for Twenty Men in Few Hours Into the Salvation Army Industrial home, 1112 Dodge street, came an over- coatless man, & desperate man, a man who had been pursued by bad fortune for weeks, as Captain Kine soon found out. He 1s a skilled auto truck driver, but had lost his position through no fault of his own. Something about him attracted Captain Kline's attention and he got the whole story. The man has a wife and five children, with a sixth visit from the stork only a short time off. He had pawned his over- coat and was on his way to the pawnshop with & treasured violin when he stopped at the Salvation Army. Captain Kline went with him to his home, where he found the family with- out food. He ordered several dollars’ worth of groceries sent up from the Army and then he got busy trying to find the man a Job, The fates were kind, and, strange to say, the very kind of job that the man was most fitted to fill was found open in the course of inquiries, & posi- tion for a man to drive a blg motor truck and take care of it. The place pays 36 a month, % Not much wonder that the father of five broke down and wept when the cap- tain had seen him safely established at his job &nd his family provided with the necessities of life. Suspension of ice cutting has thrown several hundred men out of work again. Captain Kline secured jobs of more or loss permanence for twenty-elght men Monday.
