Ikr Heeded Lobbying t Lincoln Sot Chars the fl Per Day Voted to HIM. Notwithstanding that nelthrr the rules r tho practice of the Board of Educa tion have entabltshed any formal cere' mony or exercises to mark the close of . ita .official year, and tfce graduation of a portion of Ita body, several of the retiring member found opportunity last evening to work little valedictory addresses into the regular proceeding!- All of the members were preaent, but la Ita early magna the meeting moved rather alowly, and It began to look aa though the mem ber were not going 'to werk themselves up to their customary conversational en thusiasm, for there was but little to be done and the character of the regular bualneaa waa not such aa to Inapira ora tory or debate. Toward tha close, how ever, when new buslnees waa permlsseble, Ww llf was Infused Into the proceedings and there was something doing right up to tha close. To this portion of the program W. F. Johnson, who Is one of the retiring mem; bers, contributed the following: Resolved, ' That this board recommend to the . legislature that leaialatlnn be pasdprt making the number of members of boards of education In cities of the metro polltan class seven Instead of fifteen. Board la t'nwlIllesT. Speaking aa to his resolution, Mr. John son said that he had become convinced ' during the term of his service on the board that fifteen members waa too many, that a . body of that slxa Is unwieldy and that at frequent times It Is Impossible U prop erly place the responsibility. He said that possibly he waa not the proper person to complain on that" score, but there certainly had been too much talk In the board. Ills Idea Is that five or seven men could sit around a table and do business without regard for the gallery or tha newspapers to much better effect than a board of fif teen members. Ho acknowledged that he tad dona at least his share of the talking In this board and perhaps mors than his share, but. that, did not alter his belief that there had been tod .much talking done. Mr. Wocd, another of the retiring mem- bent, aatd that at first glanca he was In dined to favor tha Idea of reducing tha number of members of tha board, but he felt hardly prepared to act upon this re olutton at thr lime without further con elderatlon. There had been times when he thought eight of the members of the board were too many and at other times he had thought thirteen were hardly and, to be perfectly frank, he had on some occasions decided that fourteen of the members were about right even when he was not of the fourteen, but that opinion came a an after thought and aa the re sult of mature reflection. He was not prepared at this time to say whether five or seven or .store would be the proper i membership for the board and he would prefer to see tjjbe resolution laid, over to a future meeting. Other members felt that action upon this measure should not be hastily taken, and a motion to lay the res olution on the table until the next reg ular meeting .was tarried. For School Jtevrnae. , Another stir la the '. proceedings for whltb VV FJ Johnson was primarily re sponsible arose over the question of dl verting the Income from liquor licenses police court and other fines from the school fund and providing for the support of the schools by direct taxation and state apportionment. Mr. Johnson's original resolution on that subject was returned s by the Judiciary committee with a report to the effect that such action could legally be brought about and he then Introduced a resolution In which the board urges the legislature to take the proper ateps to lay before the voters at the next election an amendment to so revise the charter as to provide for the school fund a atated. Robert Smith, still another of the five whose terms expire with the present year . (poke at some length In opposition to this measure. He said there are many persons who feel that perhaps It Is not Just the right thing that the schools should be maintained with money obtained from the present sources and on the face of It that resolution might look like a worthy and desirable measure, but he declared It to be 'Impracticable and he declared that any person who had any knowledge of poll tics In Nebraska would know that no such conatltutional amendment as was pro posed could be passed by vote of the peo pie,- Mr. Howard favored the resolution eXprreslag his confidence In the voters to correot this existing condition if given an opportunity to da so. . On motion of Mr.- Cermak', the resolution was kald on the table. i ... I" gain Roatlue Work. The: report of the committee on text . book recommending the purchase of books to jine amount of l,Z2 for supplementary reading tn the school was adopted after some debate. ; Mis Maynard as chairman of the finance committee presented a report of the varl out funds of the board for the year from JaaViary.l, the expendlturee for December being estimated.

The resolution was adopted. Among the rnmrmmlcatlone received was one from Carl B. Herring, attorney for the board, In reference to the resolution passed at the last meeting whereby he waa In structed to use his best endeavors to se cure the enactment of certain laws amend atory of the statutes bearing upon the powers and affairs of the board, and allow ing him $5 per day for such time as he might find necesssry to spend In Lincoln. In hit letter Mr. Herring states that, as he understands the resolution Of the board. the service expected of him Is that he shall appear before any committee of the legis lature to which these laws may be re ferred and to explain their purport and purposes, in this leiwr aiso Mr. Herring expressly waives the allowance of i per day extended 'to htm In the board resolu tion, stating that the expenses for the few days Which he may have to spend In Lin coln will be of but little Importance. Robert Smith moved that the communica tion be adopted as a correct Interpretation of the services expected of Mr. Herring; but a substitute motion by Mr. Wood to place the letter on file was adopted. In compliance with a letter from Miss Maude Burtah, now at Gilman, la., her leave of absence granted to January 1 was extended to March 1. aa she Is still unable to return to her duties. Jay ( Jawtters. Mr. Mcintosh asked for the adoption of the minority report to the resolution offered by Mr. Johnson, relative to the lncreaae of salaries for the Janitors of the various schools. When a vote was taken the amend ment, as offered by the former member, waa lost by a vote of 11 to 3. The lost report provided for an examination of all janitors; the refusal to permit them to employ mem bers of their own families to assist them in their duties;' the pensioning of all janitors on half pay after twenty years Of continuous service, and a janitors' clinic where such employes should meet and dis cuss topics pertaining to their labors. Mr. Wood attacked the minority report on the basis that It meant an Increase of salaries with no provision for better service, and besides, would compel preaent employes In that capacity to relinquish their positions because of the proposed examination. Mr. Mcintosh claimed that the preaent supervision of the janitors was too loosely drawn and recently cases of Insubordina tion had .been brought to light. He main tained that the original resolution was retroactive. ' ' The vote on the original resolution, which earrlea with it an Increase In salarlea for janitors amounting to $2,000... was carried by a vote of 11 to 1. Beaten for Aadltortam. It was reported thai $90.74 had been turned over to the Auditorium company fund as the proceeds from the base ball game between the board and the common council base ball teams. , A resolution offered hy Mr. Smith," pro viding for the restoration of principals' salaries to the former scale, $130 a month for twelve-room schools and $5 additional for all schools up to and Including fifteen rooms, was also carried by a majority vote. The committee In charge of the prlxes from the ball game was Instructed to sell such as Is possible, meet advertising; bills and remit the balance to the High scnooi band. '.

ENDORSE POWER FRANCHISE Council in Committee of the Whole AcU oa Andrew Rosewater Proposition. SEVERAL MINOR AMENDMENTS ARE MADE Mr. Rahr-ork ef t tlinksa, t alaa Labor Represeatatlve, E. Rosewater and Others Address tha Committee. ' Tbe general committee of the city council at its meeting of yesterday afternoon took action, recommending for passage the form of franchise ordinance proposed by Andrew Rosewater, with two amendments, to which ! mi. nvicKiier uhi Mrreu. una or inese , n . 1 . . . . . 1 amendments, proposed by Mr. Lobeck, pro vides that after January L 1935, the city shall have the right to acquire by pur chase, at an appraised price,' all of tho property of the power plant,, both Inside and outside the city of Omaha, without any money consideration for the franchise, and provision is made for the appointment of two appraisers by the mayor and city council, two by the owners of the plant and the selection of a fifth by those four. In case the city shall decide to make this purchase. The other amendment binds the grantees of the franchise to pay to the city a per centage of the earnings of the ptant In stead of the specified annuity proposed by Mr. Rosewater In the original draft of the ordinance. This clause aa amended fixes the subsidy at 1 per cent of the earnings of the company for the first five year, I per cent for the next ensuing five years and 3 per cent thereafter. - The vote whereby the committee deter mined to recommend the ordinance waa 4 to 2. Messrs. Mount and Whltehorn being absent from the meeting. The affirmative votes were those of Councilman tlmman T..., , n...i.i . . , , ' ' Trostler, Burkley and Lobeck and the otners are not recorded as opposed to the 1 ordinance, as Mr. Hascall declined to vote . w and Messrs. Karr and Hoye la voting against the recommendation explained that .. . . ! mey would prefer to wait until the ordi- I nance bad been amended aa agreed before voting for it. Manufactories Are Needed. ' The ordinance was fully discussed In the meeting before the committee took Us action. E. Rosewater was present, and when asked by the committee if there waa anything he would like to say, said he wished to state that Individually he waa not interested with his brother la this project In any way. He was not even famil iar with the details, but he had been In formed that the ordinance proposed a plan for supplying cheaper power In this city. He said he was Interested In a general way in overcoming any obstacles .which would stand In the way of Omaha becomlna a great manufacturing center, and aa long as manufacturing was as expensive In this city as now no great headway In that direc tion could be made. He said that a doseo jobbing houses would not contribute so much to the welfare ot the city as one good manufactory. The council, he said, was expected to protect the Interests of the people by pro viding the proper safeguards In granting any franchise, but, on the other hand, a measure of this kind could be ao burdened with conditions as fb make It useless to anybody. There rould be nothing la . the' granting of this franchise to prevent any other company from earning In, and with the large indusylea of, Omaha and the surround lng-elacee- there- should be- Suf ficient patronage lor- ether' companies. H4 would consider It ' deplorable and Inde fensible for the council to close the door against any project which would pay a subsidy to the city and affordcompetition which would result In cheaper power throughout the city. The future growth and Welfare of Omaha, he said, depended on reduction of the cost of power. H. E. Babcock of Columbus, Neb., who is Interested In a competing water power company, whoBe rights are located at the mourh of the Loup river, spoke at some length In an effort to Influence the coun cil against the granting of the franchise to Mr. Rosewater and there was some dis cussion between Mr. Babcock and Andrew Rosewater regarding the practicability of their prospective plans. I'nloa Labor Favors. W. Brltton appeared on behalf of the machlnlats' union to say that organized labor favored the plan of Mr. Rosewater, as it appeared to be the beBt that bad been offered, but If a more favorable plan for the city should turn up that would be the one to be favored. City Attorney Connell was asked by Councilman Trostler as to the Rosewater ordinance and said he had examined It and made several little changes and now believed it to be In proper legal form and Its terms to be highly advantageous to the city. As to Mr. Lobeck's proposed amend ment to limit the time of the franchise and provide for the city's purchase of the plant, Mr. Connell said that from the very nature of the franchise Itself the council need place no limit upon It, as the city council could not take any action which would abrogate the city's right of eminent domain to terminate the contract at any time.
