’ Nebraska ‘ INTERURBAN LINE WILL ISSUE BONDS| Officers of Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice Ask Permission for the Issue. REQUEST MADE IN PERSON . (From a Staft Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 25.—(Special.)—Ap- plication was made to the State Rail- way commission today by officials of the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice In- terurban railroad for an issue of stock and bonds amounting to $5,000,000. The amount will be divided into $2,000,000common stock. $500,000 pre- ferred stock, and $2,500,000 in bond, making a total issuc of $5,000,000. _ President Harvey Musser, who lives in Ohio, and J. H. Bramelt, su- perintendent of the road, who is also superintendent of the Lincoln Trac- tion company, visited the commission and made the application in person. . They said that on account of the increased cost of material the issue of $3,000,000 previously asked for would not be sufficient to cover the cost, which was figured at $3,820,959. It is also proposed to make the road up-to-date in every way, putting in heavier rails than first proposed ‘and heavier cars. . Sale of the bonds will have to be discounted about $800,000, according to their figures, which will cut the amount received considerably. This_will cover the complete line from Omaha to Lincoln, anc. will not include extension to Beatrice. Harlan May Change To Commissio nForm Alma, Neb., Aug. 25.—(§pecial)— The following petition is being circu- lated and largely signed in Harlan county: To_the county clerk of Harlan county: We, the undersigned electors, residents of sald county, respectfully petition that the question of 'the discontinuance of township orgarzation in and for said county, be sub- mitted to the voters of sald county at the next general election to be held on the 7th day of November, 1916. In order to have the question sub- mitted it will be necessary to secure the signature of 10 per cent of the voters and should it carry at the elec- tion it would change the form of county government from the super- visor to the commissioner system, thus dispensing with about forty of- ficers in the county. In a case of this kind the statute provides that the county judge, county clerk and coun- ty treasurer appoint the commission- ers to hold office until the next elec- tion. The argument in favor of the proposition is that it will have a tend- ency to reduce the expense of county government by abolishing several of- tices and help to shorten the ballot. Gov. Morehead Speaks To Gage Pioneers ~ Beatrice, Neb., Aug. 25.—(Special.) ——Governor Morehead delivered the prinicipal address at the annual picnic of the Old Settlers’ association of Gage county, held here yesterday.
