MANAGER OP LIGHT CO. STATES
CO. WILL REDUCE RATES
FOR HEW CONTRACT
From Tuesday's Dally.
Last evening the time of the coun
cil was occupied in the considera
tion of many matters of great im
portance and chief among the top
ics discussed was that of lighting
(rates, one that is very much of in
i terest to the citizens who each
month are required to separate
themselves from the coin for kilos
of .light and heat. At the opening
of the meeting Manager Kuyken
dall of the Xeb. Gas & Electric Co.,
was introduced by Mayor Johnson
and the manager of the light com
pany gave the good word that the
light company was willing to make
a reduction in their rates both to
the city and the private consumer
;Ir. Kuykendall stated that last year
! v.hen the city and the company was
discussing the rates in an attempt
to got a contract, he had promised
to do all possible to secure a redu
tion in rates after the year had ex-
r ied and in view of that promise
ana ine interest xnai ne personally
held in the city he had endeavored
to get these rates reduced and had
corresponded with the officers of the
rompeny in Omaha as well as at
Cleveland. Ohio. As the result of that
correspondence he had teen able to
announce that the operating vice
president erf the company had de
cided that the rates could be reduc
ed provided that the city was will
ing to make a contract of ' the same
nature as that in force prior to the
war. The company was willing, if
the city would make their contract
for a period of years, to reduce The
rates from 15c to 13c per kilowatt
to the private consumer and in the
case of block rates to make the re
duction even more favorable then
it would otherwise.
In response to a query from Coun
cilman Howe, Mr. Kuykendall stat
ed that he could not state as to the
reduction of gas as the operating ex
penses of the plant was still such
that they did not realize much from
the returns.
The favorabls impression gained
by the promise of reduction of rates
was toiioweu dv anoiaer pnase 01
the light proposition when a peti
tion was read by the city clerk,
,which was signed by 21S residents
of the city, both laboring men and
merchants asking that the city coun
cil submit the matter of a munici
pal light plant to the voters at the
rext city election. Councilman Pta
cek stated that this petition indi

that he thought that citv should not

pany was losing money at the pres
ent time with the present rates and
would under the contract and fran
chise make a raise in the rates at
the time of the expiration of the ten
year period. On motion this was re
ferrcel to the fire and water com
mittee. Chief Alvin Jones reported that
during the month just ended he had

conded by Ptacek and carried un
animously. The police committee reported
favorably on the matter of the al-
i lowance of the claims of William
MHWil
Grebe and L. F. Terryberry as spe
cial police.
Councilman Ptacek asked more
time on the matter of the scales fo
the city which has been pending fo:
some time.
C. M. Parker submitted a bid of
$25 for placing the firebell on top
of the city hall but this was not
passed upon and sent to the fire and
water committee for action.
The engineer's estimate of the
work In paving district No. 21 was
read and showed that the work had
now teen completed and that the
amount still due the contractor, Bert
Coleman, was $17,643.10. and with
engene-ers fees of $519.30. On mo
tion of Councilman Ptacek the sum
of $17,000 was allowed the con
ti actor and the rest held up for two
weeks until the city council could
look over the work and also have
the streets just paved flushed with
the fire hose to determine its worth
in carrying off water. On motion of
Councilman Bestor the plant and
assessment of th co?t of the paving
was ordered perpayed for the next
meeting of the city council.
The estimate of 'the cost of pav
ing in district No.. 24 on Pearl St.
was read and shewed the cost in
brick paving at $3,154 and in re
enforced concrete r.t $5.S43.75. On
motion the mayor, and clerk were
authorized to advertise for bids for
the work.
The estimate was also read for the
paving in the alley near the Bach
ftore and the cost estimated at $1,
452. Bids were cnlered called for by
the mayor and cUrk and which will
be taken up at the special session
to be held this week.
Councilman Maurer took up the
matter of parkin cars -near the
crossing at Lincoln avenue and Rock

had resulted in making it impossi
ble for pedestrians to see cars com

prevented drivers from seeing- the

the matter over with the residents
of that portion of the city and that
they were more in favor of paving

been spent in Cass county.
Mrs. Quinton came to Cass county
a bride 'some sixty-four years ago
and with her husband, settled on a
homestead just a short distance east
of where the village of Avcca now
stands, although in those days only
the unlimited acres of 'the prairie
lands marked the site of the present
town. It was in these strenuous
pioneer days that this young wife
took up, with the husband, her part
ia the development of a home in
tiie newly settled country and at
the close of her life she has had the
satisfaction of seeing a work well
done and the task accomplished. The
husband, Z. J. Quinton. was called
from the home more than forty years
ngo and since that time this splendid
lady, known to her old friends as
"Mother" Quinton, has carried on
the task of rearing her family and
taring for the home that was so dear
to her. The brightest dreams or lire
of the departed were marked in the
ome to which she came a bride and'
it wj her earnest wish that there
-he might pass the last hours of
earthly life.

EOAL COUNTY OFFICES
Petitions Being Circulated to do
Away With Co. Assessor. Co.
Agt. and Highway Com.
Some of the residents of this
county do not evidently think fav
orably of the number of county of
fices now in existence, judging from
a petition that has been going
around over the county relative to
asks for the recall of the offices of
county agent, county highway com
missioner, and county assessor, as
being unnecessary and an added ex-
j pense to the taxpayers of the coun-
ty. In some localities it is reported
the reduction of the officers of the
county. The petition it is stated
that the reduction in the salaries of
the school teachers is being urged
on the school boards
This is a matter in which every
one in the county should be inter
ested, either for or against the pro
positions and the matter of saving
in salaries should be weighed against
the services that the offices in the
i permanent officers of the county and
during the time of the taxing of the
assessment has a great deal of Bus
iness to handle.
In the office of the county agent
it was created at the request of a
large part of the farming interests
of the county under one of the en
actments of the legislature of 1918
19, and which made the creation of
manditory on the board of county
commissioners when it was request
ed by the taxpayers.
The county highway commission
er was created by the legislature
when the law covering the exten
sion of the state and federal aid
roads was created and this official
M3 mtenaea to supervise tne work
of making the extensions of the
good road systems of the various
counties.
Whether or not the petitions will
grow to the proportions where the
circulators will present them to the
board of commissioners remains to
be seen and-what disposition will be
made of them it is impossible to say
but the outcome will be watched
with interest by the citizens all over

this section famous for its all pure blood live
stock. .
