Council Given
Aid in Retrench
ment Program
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co.,
to Reduce Wattage of Large
Lamps to Help City Cost
From Tuesday's I5ally
The city council held their regular
grind last evening and received a
number of matters to hold their at
tention covering the conduct of the
city affairs, ranging from the city fi
nances to the matter of snow re
moval. The lighting committee through
Chairman Claude C. Smith, reported
the successful results of the negotia
tions with the Iowa-Nebraska Light
& Power Co., relative to the city
street, light reduction. The commit
tee had received a communication
from F. I. Rea, district mmager in
which the company agreed for a six
month, period to allow the cutting of
the wattage of the various lights for
street use and which would reduce
the city lighting bill to $324 per
month." This would include the dis
continuance of two 400 watt lamps
in , GarticM and Athletic pirk for
thd winter, with reduction from 200
to 150 watt lamps in the electroliers
and sixty candle power in all other
street lights. Mr. Rea stated that
since 1!25 the Iowa-Nebrasku Co.
had made voluntary reductions each
year, that in 1925 the sixty watt
lamps had been $21 per year each,
in 1926 this had been reduced to
$19.50 and in 1930 to $15 per lamp.
In the general rate in 1925 the aver
age rate had been 12.9 per killow.itt
while in 1931 the average rate was
seven cents. The company apprecia
tive of the effort of the crty to re
duce their charged obligation would
grant the reduction asked for six
months and if possiole longer.
Council Davis, who had been se
lected to appear before the board of
education on the request of the city
for the board to take over $700 of
the library maintenance cost, stated
that at the conference the board was
friendly to rendering what assistance
was possible, but was investigating
the cost of school libraries in other
cities so as to secure adequate infor
mation on which to make their esti
mate of tne amount they felt they
should pay.
City Clerk Thomas reported a com
munication that was received from
the Plattsmouth' Water corporation,
in which a reply was given to the
request of the city that the corpor
ation advance the commencement of
the rates under the new franchise
from June to January. The corpor
ation stated that the new rates cov
ered a reduction of hydrant rental
from $75.50 each to $57.50 each per
month a reduction that-made a loss
In rM-eAue of $5,070' per-'year while
other items reduced in the new fran
chise brought additional reductions
of $2,300 or a total drop in the year
ly revenue of $7,370 or twenty-five
per cent. Under -these conditions it
was impossible fcr the company to
make this reduction effective as of
January, the change being permanent
and would be the charge under which
the corporation would have to oper
ate for the next tea years.
Chairman Davis also reported that
no reply had been received from the
Plattsmouth Water Corporation rel
ative to the acceptance of the new
franchise ordinance and which was
not as yet published. The chairman
reported that there had been some ob
jection to the items pertaining to
the payment of the publication costs
by the corporation and also to the
extension of the water service to
consumers. The matter was being
taken up with the headquarters of
the corporation at Portland. Maine.
Mr. Davis asked that the lire and
water committee be empowered tj
get in touch with the Lane company
relative to their plan of building a
plant which would ultimately be
come a city owned plant, if the pres
ent negotiations with the local com
pany was not successful, which per
mission was granted.
Councilman Webb cf claims com
mittee moved that City Clerk be in
structed to again notify City Attorney
to file forthwith the city's objections
to issuance of tax deeds to purchasers
who fail to keep up the intervening
taxes between time of sale and time
of confirmation. Also protest issuance
of deeds to persons unlawfully buying
or having bought in for themselves
tax titles to their own property and
ask that deeds already issued in such
cases be set aside. Also to file motion
for right of city to enter upon aban
doned property before the two year
redemption period is up and make
necessarv repairs to conserve same.
The motion was unanimously carried
and the city attorney will be directed
to clear up these matters at once.
The report of City Clerk H. L.
Thomas showed that the sum of
$500.84 had been collected in the
month of November and turned over
to the city treasurer.

L. Graves and Chief of Police Elliott

The claims were recommended for
payment by the majority of the fi
nance committee, Councilman Davis
of the committee stated that he be
lieved that the claims should be in
the hands of the claims committee to
he paid as the funds were available,
the city having considerable bond
and interest to meet thi3 year. Coun
cilman Johnson stated that while the
city had contracts to pay the bond
and interest as well as water and
light charges, he felt that the city
should pay their workers, most of
them poor men and who depended on
the money received from the city for
their living and that of their fam
ilies. If anyone was not to receive
their money he thought that it should
not be the hired city employes.
Councilman Webb stated that the
city was making all possible effort
to reduce the running expense of
the city and felt that the city work
ers should receive their money on
which'they depended for a living.
The claims were ordered paid, all
of the council voting in favor with
the exception of Councilman Davis.
Chairman Johnson of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee -stated
that the snow on the streets should
be moved but that in view of the
condition of affairs he believed that
it would be necessary to let nature
take its course. Councilman Patton
stated that some of the merchants
had talked cf being willing to -give
something extra toward moving the
snow. No action was taken on the
matter and the snow will have to
melt off.
There being no other matters the
council made an early adjournment.
