LIGHT RATES MUST
NOT BE JNCREASED
City Dads Change Ordinance for
the Protection of the Small
Consumers.
JUNE DRAFTS THE CHANGE
City Attorney Rlne has drawn an
amcndmrnt to the new electric light
and rate ordinance, to meet an un
ci parted contingency wherein, under
etceptlonal circumstances, the new
schedule ot ratea might Increase a
monthly bill a few cents.
The mayor says he learned of two
Instances where bills would be raised
slightly, an analysis of these cases
showing that the circumstances were
unusual.
The amendment provides that In
no case shall the bill under the nw
schedule be more than It would hare
been under the application of the old
rates.
With this objection removed. the
mayor now contends that the ordinance
will stand the test and has hla approval.
The other city comrr.isslonem say they
hare not received any complaints from
electric light patrons.
PraifM hr Klertrlelaa
Thl ordinance wu drawn by the city
electrician at the request of the mayor
and waa agreeable to all of the commis
sioners, who spent several hours In an
executive session.
In their espousal of the ordlnanr city
commissioners and others who have been
speaking for them at metln have con
tended that the So-cent minimum, of
wl'lch complaint has I teen made, would
affect chiefly office patrona, who do not
have orr-aston to use much artificial
llht.
Manager Howell of the city water plant
declares that the 50-cent minimum Is Just,
but he contend that the new ordinance
In the main would reduce the bills of the
larger consumers much more than the
smaller consumers.
Dan Butler, who offered the first elec
tric light and power ordinance, declares
he has not received even one complaint
from rltisens retarding the new ordi
nance as announced.

Burlington Ties'Up
With Union Pacific
on Car Serivce
t'nlssa there Is a hitch In the program
now about worked out. after May OT,
the Burlington will have through rsr ser
vice from Ft. fronts Into San Francisco,
the first time In the history of the road.
It Is asserted that everything except
some of the minor details have been
worked out and so certain are the Bur
lington passenger people that the deal
will be consumated that they are pre
paring the advertising matter for the
new arrangement. !
The Burlington's proposed through csr
service Into Sun Francisco means a traf
fic tie-up with the Union and Southern
Taciric roads. According to the plsns
proposed, between Bt. Leule and Kansas
City and Denver, the Burlington will use
It own line, operating through train ser
vice. From Denver to Ogden, by wsy
of Cheyenne, the Burlington's through
cars will be hauled by the Union raelflo
and from Ogden to Ban Francisco, by
the Southern Pacific.
It Is asserted that the new passenger
car traffic arrangement between the Bur
lington, the Union and Southern Pacific
roads Is purely a business proposition,
carried on along the lines of so much
pay per car and In no manner has any
thing to do with a merger of the gen
eral Interests of the road.
From Denver to Ban Francisco, the
Burlington cars will not be open to pas
sengers going either east or west. In
the event they went to ride, they will
hswe to buy tickets for the Union and
Southern Pacific cars In the train, tick
ets that will not entitle them to ride In
the Burlington cars.
Flack Find Things
Looking Good up in
the Oil Fields
firnrae C. Flack hss Just returned 'rem
a trip throughout Wyoming and the
North Platte valley. He has some Inter
ests in Casper. Wyo., snd assert that
thr town Is booming with prosperity In
cident to the oil finds in that region. "The
town hullt up a great deal through the
sinter, and the new hotel la finished, as
sell aa the five-story Masonic building
snd an apartment house of twenty apart
ments." said Mr. Flack.
"In the North Platte valley the beeta
are about half planted, and the sugar
factory, which is the Isrgest In the coun
try, will not be able to han Me the crop,
which will have to be shipped to the
Colorado factories.
"It Is expected thst the government will

to Bridgeport. Neb. Ninety per cent of
