LIGHT CONTRACT IS UPT0 THE VOTERS Preliminary Steps Have Been Taken by the Signing of Referendum Petition. OLERK TO OERTIFY NAMES The city council was presented a petition said to contain more than 5,000 signatures, calling upon the council to submit to a referendum vote at a special election the five-year electric street lighting contract ap- proved by the council Octoher 3. General Manager Howell of the municipal water plant presented the petition, with the following explana- tion of his recent activities in this connection: Two years ago the logislature passed, and Governor Morehoad vetoed, the Omaha elec- tric light bill, which merely guve the peo- ple of the city of Omaha the right to vote upon establishing an elactric light plant in connection wif thelr water plant. The ha Electric Light company, that was almost wholly responsible for the campalgn against thin bill, Is now fearful that the governor to be elected next November will not veto another Omaha lighting bill, should it pass the legislature, and therefore the company is deeply interested in tying the hands of the city by a five-year lighting contract at this time, I have been unable to belleve that the city council has appreciated the vital im- portance of leaving the city's hands free to act at this time, when it passed the ordl- nance granting the jight company a five- year contract, and therefore, together with & number of friends of public owpership, there has been secured a petition of more than 5,000 names asking that before this ordinance goes Into effect it shall be re- ferred to a vote of the people, and I now formally file this petition with the city councll, Should the coming legislature, which will meet within about sixty days, refuse to pass another Omaha lighting bill, that will be presented, there will be ample time then for the city to make arrangements for ad- ditional lights, which it must be apparent cannot bo Installed before next spring, even though the contract In question should be ratified. The city clerk will certify to the council as to the sufficiency of the petition and then it will be up to the council to give thirty days notice of the calling of the special election. 0il Plant Strikers And Mailgger Confer Bayonne, N.
