EXTENSION OFWATER MAINS
President Woodbury of Water Com
pany Renews Offer.
GIVES CITY CHOICE OF PLANS
Company Will Build Main and Ki
tensions or Will Connirt with
Main Vald ty h
City.
President Woodbury has aaaln ap
proached the Omaha Water board on be
half of the Omaha Water company In
connection with the laying ot an addi
tional - supply main from the Florence
pumping station to the city, and the mak
ing of extension required to rive addi
tional and adequate service to the citizens.
The proposition, submitted ln a '- letter
from. President Woodbury to the Water
board, has been modified to some extent
lnce last presented. The water company
now offers to lay the main and make the
extensions, or, If the city prefers, to allow
It to do the work, promising to make the
necessary' connections at the pumplns
station, and to allow the city 4V per
cent interest on the cost of the Florence
main and extensions, and to pay over
to the' city all additional earnings from
the extensions, less 25 per cent to cover
the cost of pumping; stipulating that the
Florence main must be laid before any
extensions for additional service are
made. Mr. Woodbury's letter:
"NEW YORK, Dec. Y, 191!.-Water
Board of the City of Omaha, Omaha.
Neb. Dear Sirs: On July 17, 1906, and
several times since then, I have written
you, on behalf of the Omaha Water
company, ottering to put in an additional
supply main between Florence and the
city of Omaha, for the purpose of meet
ing the Increased demands upon the
distribution system, with certain provi
sions in regard to repayment to the com
pany of the actual cost of the Improve
ments ' upon the completion of any pur
chase of the water works.
'The Wated board never thought It
adi-lsable to accept our proposition, and
therefore nothing has ever been done In
regard to this matter.
Offer la Renewed.
"Believing It is desirable that this main
should be put in, and having taken ex
pert advice recently concerning this
matter which coincides with our opinion,
that la order to make other extensions
this nilln is needed, I wish to say that
I am authorized by the board of di
rectors to say that the water company
Is willing to lay this main Immediately,
provided the Water board or proper au
thorities will enter Into an agreement
binding upon the city to repay to the
company, upon the completion of any
purchase of the water works, the actual
cost of the improvements.
"In order that such new main may be
satisfactory to the Water board, the
company will put in whatever character
i of main the Water board may designate,
as to the size and material, and will wel
come the co-operation of the engineer of
the Water board In the laying ot the
main. Upon the proper agreement being
executed, protecting the water company
In regard to coct, the company will imme
diately order the pipe and put In the
niain as soon as the weather permits,
and In my opinion this main could then
be completed by June 1 or July 1.
"Regarding other extensions which the
Water board may deem neoessary, I
would say, that after the main is com
pleted. It the city is not In possession of
the water works at that time, we will
make all extensions that can legally be
ordered, upon an agreement that the
actual cost of such extensions shall be
repaid to the company upon the com
l pletlon of the purchase of the water
works.
( Mr Will Lay Malas.
"Or if the Water board shall prefer that
the Florence main aud the extensions be
put in by the city at its own cost under
the direction of the Water board, without
waiting far the completion of the pur
chase of the water works, the company
Is entirely willing that that course be
pursued and will agree to connect Its sys
tem with the pipe so laid by the Water
board, with the distinct understanding,
however, that the main to Florence be
laid before the extensions to private con
i sumers are made. The water company
w 111 agree to pay the city 44 per cent In
I terest on the coat of the Florence main,
and, Will agree to give all the revenue
I to the city from any extensions made at
the expense ot the city, leas 25 per eeht
I to eover the cost of extra pumping and
; expenses connected with updating the
I tew extensions. Tours very truly.

The Christmas shopping rush will soon
be on and then travel on the street cars
will be attended with more or less crowd
ing and discomfort, in spite of all the
provisions we can make. We therefore
earnestly urge the public to Shop Early.
Stocks of merchandise in the stores are
now at their best and sales-people can
wait on you more satisfactorily now than
they can later.
