August . Belmont testified beforo flic

tributing to the Wilson .campaign this
year;
brnska, are'ailbject to regulation by the
Btnto railway commission, and under
the law such rates can neither be low

the rnilway commission.
The matter of rates, under the .laws
of the state, arc beyond the jurisdiction
pf either the council or the yoters of
the city.

Intelligent conclusion I submit the. fob
lowing: Th'b first tblephdne 'system
erected in the' city was built Utfder
, the provisions of op ordinance, tho
granting part of 'which reads' hsfbllows:
"ThatUn North Pl'atte 'Tolophdne

"Since tlio nurchase. of tlie clant the

tlrely rebuilt the plant and given the

A careful reading of the granting
