CALL AND
KNOCKS OUT FRANCHISE
DOWN IN NEBRASKA CITY
Some time since the city council
took up the matter of granting to the
Water and Light company of this
city a new franchise. The matter
was fought out at length in the
council and was opposed by Council
man Houston and when the council
passed the matter over his head he
objected and threatened suit. Then
the franchise was submitted to the
voters and they granted the fran
chise by a handsome majority. Coun
cflnian Houston then brought suit to
net the whole thing aside, claiming
that the franchise was granted on a
resolution and not an ordinance and
that the whole was a dual proposi
tion. He also charged that at the!
election the company had freely dis-'
tributed Intoxicants to influence the
voters.
The matter was heard before Ref
eree Dwyer, of Plattsraouth, who
made his findings and this afternoon
Judge Travis rendered a decision on
the questions and it was lengthy.
In this decision he held that it had
been shown that liquors had been
bought and distributed to influence
voters at the election. He held that
it was a resolution and not an ordi
nance that was adopted by the coun
cil and that the whole was a dual
proposition and should have been
separate.
In the whole the court knocks out
the franchise and the entire matter is
back where it was several years ago,
when the franchise of the company
expired and the matter was brought
up to the council. What will be done
by the company remains to be seen.
It may be they will drop the matter
for the present and permit things to
move along as they are and perhaps
secure some restraining order to pre
vent any one from molesting them
until the matter is adjusted and put
in proper form. Nebraska City News.

Elected Hut Not Seated.
The late election in Eight Mile
Grove precinct presents a knotty
proposition and legal tangle which
will be hard for the authorities or
courts to straighten out. Mr. 0
Ward received the votes of legal and
qualified electors as assessor for the
precinct, but through some oversight
of the election board of the precinct
Mr. Ward's name did not appear on
the face of ., the. ejection,, returns
There was nothing (to show the can
vasslng board that Mr. Ward had
been voted for, hence It never made
any declaration as to his election, and
in consequence no certificate of elec
tion has been issued to Mr. Ward, and
without this preliminary document It
will be difficult for him to take his
seat when the balance of the county
and precinct officers do next January
This sort of a muddle was unknown
in Cass county political affairs until
this matter came up.
