lmzv Ptacek stated that he
had understood that the property of
company had been offered
to the Nebraska Lighting Co. for the
sum of 160,000 and he did'not feel
that the city should pay on the val
uation of $150,000 as had been pro
posed in one of the previous esti-
mtes of the valuation
Councilman Maurer then moved
th,t the -it-v nmtifv the water com
take for the plant.
Hardly had the water proposition
been- disposed of than the lighting
committee submitted the five year
contract that had been prepared hy j
J the Nebraska Gas & Electric Co.,
without any recommendation, and

j ment of balls before the 10 th af ach

ed at 12 for from cue to fifty kil-

to two hundred and over two hun -
dred 10c per kilowatt.
Councilman Ptacel. did not favor
the contract for several reasons and
among .these was the fact that the
residence rate -was lister than that
cf other lines, that the ecmpanv fail-

ALL STARS GET
TRIMMED BY THE
LEGION QUINTET
Locals Carry Off Honors in the Game
Saturday Evening by Score
of 30 to Eighteen.
From Monday Dally
The "All Stars," hailing from the
confines of 13th street. Omaha, came
down Saturday evening to engage the
local American Legion basket ball
team and as the result of the'battle
learned a few things about the gen
tle art of basket tossing from the
hands of the former service men.
The visitors were a nice, gentle
manly team and in their playing
made a most pleasing impression on
the audience and throughout played
a clean game, although they lacked
the teamwork of the Legion men,
and their defense was not as firm as
that of the locals.
In the opening half of the game
the Legion rung up 18 scores to the
7 for the visitors and it was apparent
that the boys from the big town up
the river were decidedly outclassed
in the work of tossing the sphere into
the baskets. The second half gave
the locals twelve more scores while
the visitors annexed eleven and left
the final Bcore at 30 to 18.
In the scoring Doolan led the
locals with six wh!le Marshall waj
r;econd with five tallies, Larson three,
Niel two and Campbell one. For the
visitors Kostl, left forward, was the
most successful.
The line up of the two teams was
as follows:
