Concessions In Rates Meets Commercial Club Directors.
From Siituniiiy's Imlly. I
eoi'Ke F. West, the new owner
of the Plallsniotith Water coin
paiiy, met yesterday afternoon
with the directors of the C.oin
Tnercial i lnb, anil last evening
with the mayor and eouncilmcn.
lit talked witli the Commercial
club directors nml the. city nlli-
cials concern insi the need of water !
improvciiienl. hero ami about the
Utius of a new franchise.
At the meeting with the couit
cilinen he read a letter which be
had framed and addressed to them
which stales what he desires in
the way of a franchise and what
rates he will he willing to niaki.
The letter is given hen in full as
follows:
"Hon. John P. Saltier and Mem
bers of I be. City Council :
"(ienl leinen - As the franchise
pranted by Ihe city of Plattsmoulli
to Ihe Platlsmouth Water com-i
jany expires by limitation
in
March, 1!M2, and as the umler
Figneil has recently purchased Ihe
Platlsmouth water works from
the former owners of the plant,
we wish al this lime to make the
following propnsit ion to the city
of Platlsmouth and ask for a new
twenty-year franchise, the citv
reserving the right at the end of
each live-year period during Ihe
life of lln new franchise to pur
chase the property of the water
company at a proper court ap
praisal. "The Platlsmmilh Water com
pany agrees to put its property
in Plallsmoulli in llrst-class con
dition, to erect a new pump en
. gine, a new pump house and new
boiler, to clean out Ihe deep wells
and repipe them to tin new pump;
to make needed extensions in the
city and lo furnish 80 hydrants
at a rental of $10 per hydrant
during Ihe life nf the franchise,
insleud of $45, the old price.
"The company agrees lo lay
new mains beyond the lines of Ihe
present mains in the streets tr0
feet for one water laker or a
multiple thereof.
"The domestic water rates to
Jlol exceed the present published
M'hedule.
"The Water company will lay

we may proceed wjlh our work
without delay.

and explain any detail of the new
conslrucl ion work that you may
waul lo know aboiil.
"Respectfully submit led,
"The Plallsmoulli Water Co.
"Ity Ceorge F. West, President."
Mr. West went over the nues
tion of some of the rales with the
councilmen and made some con
cessions. He said most of the
rates, however, will be (he same
as al the present time. Hi; said
,,ial "' n'"1'1 111,1 I'l'l i
the iin-
I'l'oveiiienls and make a fair prolll.
and lower domestic rates very
much.
For a dwelling of live rooms or
less, with one self-closing faucet,
Ihe rate is ii a year under Ihe
present franchise. He said that
he would be willing In let this rale
stand, hut permit as many faucets
as desired. At the present lime
there is a charge of a year for
each additional Cancel.
Anol her concession he made
was in regard lo rales for people
having meters who used as much
as $10 worth of water a year. He
said that a rate of '.'5 cents a
thousand gallons would be grant
ed to persons whose hills ran as
high as $10 a year. The present
meter rale is :i! cents per thou-
1 o . .
sunn gaiious inr ordinary con
sumers down to 15 cents for Hit
big consumers.
No concessions were discussed
on additional rooms, bath luhs,
closets, stables, business linns,
sprinkling or building purposes.
Cily Attorney A. L. Tidd was
present last night and he said that
under the present charter a fran
chise will not have to he left to a
vote oT the people, hut can be
made by the city council.
Heretofore, he said, Ihe cily,
working under a charter for towns
of 5.000 population or more, all
franchises had to be left to Ihe
vote of the people. Since Ihe re
port of the last national census
the town has been under a charter
of a city of les, than 5.0(10 popu
lation, ami the cities in that class
can grant franchises Ihrouuh the
council. If Hie council did no?
wish lo take the responsibility ,,f
granting a twenty-year franchise
; it could probably have the fran-
chise submitted to the people fop
approval or reject ion.

city officials will certainly be
"easy marks" if (bey jrive nmre.
Personally, I am in favor of the
citv buying the plant. We have
paid for it twice over in t h last
twenty years. We can buy it now
ami pay for it in ten years ami

ably better Ihan the companv
would."
From the remarks made today
by other members of the cnuncil
it is probable Ihat I be wafer ipies
tion will not be sellled jM a day.
The eoimcil will probably demand
considerable invest ical ion and
disciKsjnn before they lake any
final act inn.
ELECTION OF POLICE
JOOSE HAS BEEN CHARGED
j
Under tho New Law Such Official
Is Elected at General
Election. i
The hist legislature passed
i i
law that radically changes the
status and jurisdiction of Ihe
police judges in all the towns ami
villages of the slate. Prior lo the
passing of Ihe new law, Ihe police
judge was chosen by the people of
each tow n or village at the annual
municipal election and held his
oflicc for one year. He had juris
diction within the corporate limits
and for three miles outside in all
directions, but had jurisdiction
only over offenses in violation of1
Ihe city ordinances.
Much of this has been changed
by the new law. The police judge
must now be elected at the gen
eral election and holds his oflice
for the term of two years, becom
ing a stale rather than a munici
pal ollleer. His jurisdiction will
cover the same territory, but in
addition lo hearing cases arising
out of the violation of city ordin
ances he w ill hear cases involving i
Ihe violation of Ihe statutes where
the maximum fine is rod more
than I00.
