COUNGIL SANGTIONS LIGHTING CONTRACT Chairman Butler Records Only Dissenting Vote on Five- Year Agreement. HOWELL ANGERS MAYOR The city council committee of the whole, Chairman Butler dissenting, voted to recommend for passage Tuesday morning, a five-year street lighting contract in favor of the Oma. ha Electric Light and Power com- pany. The rates will be: Lights hung by suspension or from cross-arms and served by overhead wires, $31 per annum; single light on ornamental post and served by conduit system, $36 per annum; two-light ornamental posts, $68 per annum, It is proposed to install 1,071 more lights than are now maintained; to replace present old-style are l:uups with 400-candle-power Mazda lamps and install this type of lamp through- out the entire system. Significant Provisos. The contract contains this provis- ion: It is furthor agreed that if the city should, at any time during the life of this contract, acquire all of the property of the company, then future rro!’iu, if any, which otherwise may have been realized from the perform- ance of this contract by the company shall not be considered and allowed as au nem having any value to the company.” It is further provided that the city shall expend annually fer this street lighting an amount not in excess of “the usual amount the city is author- ized to expend for street lighting pur- poses.” After the first installation of the new lamps, according to a plan repared by the city, change of lo cations shall be made at the expense of the city. Butler Wants Time. Chairman Butler of the committee of the whole objected to the passage of the ordinance until he had peen able to make further investigations. Commissioner Jardine announced he had been investigating street lighting in other cities and he said: I see no reason why we should not avail ourselves at this time by getting more street lighting for the same amount we are now expending.” Mayor Dahlman announced that the electric light company will agree without question to the recent A-cent rate ordinance if the city will grant this street lighting contract. Corporation Counsel Lambert ex- plained that the five-year street light- ing contract does not interfere with the city's nghts to condemn the light plant and take it over at any time the people so elect. General Manager Howell of the ipal water plant injected him- self into the proceedings and aroused the mayor to caloric expressions. “I want to warn you gentlemen that if you pass this contract you will be playing into the hands of the light company,” said Mr. Howell. “That is just what I thought Mr. Howell was going to say. 1 want him to confine himself to this contract,” interposed the mayor, who previously tried to apply a silencer to the water plant manager. “If you do not watch out, the light company will put something over on you, and you will be sorry when it is too late,” continued Mr. l)iowcll. Tilt of Tongues. The water plant boss urged the council to™wait until the legislature meets and makes it possible to have a light plant in connection with the water system. That aroused the mayor again. He replied: “That talk doesn’t go with me. [ am not in favor of your little dinky competing plant. The people have a right to take the light company’s plant any time they want to take it, and when they get ready they will take it by condemnation proceedings and not by the method you used when you took over the water plant.” Now, Mr. Mayor, I believe you are sincere. Some of the things that ha been said about me arc not true,” re- torted Howell, The discussion extended into the ramifications of city ownership. The mayor charged Mr, Howell with cost- ing the city millions of dollars through his nine years of litigation in connection with the purchase of the water plant, New Athletic Club Readily Financed The second mortgage bonds of $100,000 on the Omaha Athletic club property, which Arthur D. Brandeis agreed to take when he sold the site to the club, is to be taken by the Brandeis estate. George Brandeis, chairman of the finance committee of the club, made this announcement today.’ The financing of the club is soon to be completed. Applications are be- ing made all the time for the bonds. Notices have gone out to 250 mem- bers announcing that their requests for membership had been approved. In about ten days action on all the applications will be completed. There are at present 1,092 applica- tions, for membership in the hands of Secretary Wharton. To Take Motion Pictures Of the President in Omaha The Selig Polyscope company of Chicago has notified C. W. Taylor, manager of the General Film com- pany in this city that, othey are send- mg a special camera man to Omaha Thursday to take pictures of Presi- dent Wilson’s activities in connec- tion with the Ak-Sar-Ben on the day of his visit here. These pictures wiil be made part of the Selig-Tribune, one of the best-known motion picture weeklies, and will be shown in all theaters in the United States using the Selig news films as well as in Omaha. It will be a considerable advertisement for Omaha and Ne- braska. Arrangement was made on the suggestion of Mr. Taylor, Federal Judge Woodrough to Hold Court at Springfield Federal Judge Woodrough =~ has gone to Springheld, Mo., where he will sit at a short term of the United States district court.
