6 A
IMPROVERS TALK
LIGHTJIATTERS
United Body Seeking to Inter
pret Full Meaning of Fro
posed Contract.
TRY TO SAVE 6 -CENT SATE
Wanted A man who can read the
English in the proposed electric light
ing contract and transl it so that
the stipulations cannot be misunder
stood. Apply in pr-son to E. W. Sin
nett, president of the United Improve
ment Clubs' association.
Mysterious utterances were made
Friday night when eighteen leaders
of improvement societies gathered
in the cit; hall to discuss the tenets
of the new electric lighting contract
and its relation to the 6-cent electric
lighting rate. The whole eighteen men
spoke their opinion and then voted
to postpone action until the next
meeting. They couldn't agree on
whit the clauses meant or what their
future results would be.
To Study It Over.
The motion of R. J. Sutton of the
West Leavenworth Improvement club
"to go home and study it section by
section," finally prevailed, but not un
til Sutton had defied every" man in the
room to stand up snd tell what the
contract said and what it meant to
say. H. J. Matthews clinched Sutton's
argument with the abrupt question,
"Why should we go on record as ap
proving something about which we
know nothing?"
M. J. Greevy of the Hanscom Park
Improvement club and secretary of
the United Improvement clubs, urged
the members "not to be tools" for
the commissioner. Mr. Howell is a
member of the Hanscom Park club.
Friends of Mr. Howell vigorously de
fended him.
"If we don't acfept this contract,
said Mr. Greevy, "we will be tied up
in litigation for years and at the end
of five years, we won't be financially
able to purchase any electic lighting
plant Our taxes have increased 33 '-S
per cent in the last year and if prohi
bition passes this year, another 31 per
cent will be heaped upon ust What
will our taxation burdens be five
years hence?"
President Sinnett counseled: "The
fight is between Mr. Howell and the
electric lighting company, and we
must be carefuT not to be the cat's
paw of either. Howell wants a com
peting lighting company. We don't
want that. But if thi contract is de
feated, our 6-cent electric light rate is
indefinitely postponed. The contract
and the rate are mutually dependent "
Oppose Referendum.
Sentiment expressed was against a
referendum vote if it should be a
means of securing a competing plant.
The improvers did not want two elec
tric light planti through any eventu
ality. The improvement clubs represented
at the meeting were Central Park,
Clairmont, Druid Hill, Fontenelle
Homes, Greater Omaha, Hanscom
Park, Southeast, Beat and West Leav
enworth. Mrs, Ribbel's Auto

Who is Badly Hurt
Ray Gibson, 9-year-old son of Mr.

Ottawa, Oct. If The exploit of
a wounded Canadian trooper who
leaped from his trench, killed and
wounded many Germans and com
pelled sixty-two others to sur
render is described in a dispatch

attack. Since their offensive be
gan, the dispatch says, the Cana

square miles of territory from the
Germans.
Describing the action of the
wounded private, the dispatch aaid:
"The most aggressive gallantry
waa displayed by a private belong
ing to an Edmonton battalion. He
was taking part in a bombing at
tack when the advance was arrest
ed in the supply of bombs ex
hausted. Although one of his
fingers had been blown away at
the second joint by a German
bomb, he jumped out -A the trench
and ran along the outside, firing at
point blank range at the enemy,
killing and wounding many of
them. The remainder, sixty-two in
number, thinking themselves about
to be cut off, thereupon surren
dered. .
A recent report from Canadian
headquarters tn France told of a
Canadian private soldier, single
handed, killing, wounding or cap
turing twenty-two Germans.

charges against heads ot" the Central

Attempts made by leaders to expel
them from the union were tabled,
after a lively debate in which charges
and counter charges were made by
