The Omaha Electric Light company, that was aimoat wholly reaponilble tor the campaign agalnat this bill, la now fearful that the governor to be elected next November will not veto another Omaha lighting bill, should It pass the legislature, and therefore the company la deeply Interested In tying the hands of the elty by a five-year lighting contract at this time. I have been unable to believe that the city council ha appreciated the vital Im portance of leaving the clty'a hands free to aot at this time, when It passed the ordl nanco granting the jlght company a five year eontrvet, and therefore, together with a number of friends of public ownership, there has been secured a petition of more than 1,000 names asking that before this erdlnanee goes Into effect It shall bo re ferred to a vote of the people, and I now formally file thle petition with tho elty council. Should the eemlng legislature, which wilt meet within about sixty days, refuse to pass another Omaha lighting bill, that will be presented, there will be ample time then for the elty to make arrangements for ad ditional' lights, which It must be apparent cannot be Installed before nest spring, even though tha contract In Question should be ratified. The city clerk will certify to the council as to the sufficiency of the petition and then it will be up to the council to give thirty days notice of the calling of the special election.
