WATER FRAN
CHISE GIVEN A
PUBLIC AIRING
INTERESTED CITIZENS ATTI
MEETING LAST NIGHT TO
DISCUSS MATTER.
ATTEND,
From Thursday's Dally.
Not unlike the ancient mariner,!
who said, "Water, water everywhere,
but not a drop to drink," the lire ana
water committee of the city council '
raitra uui uui iuu xugu.
The committee through its chair
man. L. L. McCarthy, called a meet
ing of all those interested in the mat
ter of the new franchise and water
rates for last evening at the city hall .
and in response to the call, a num
ber of those interested, including the
representatives of the municipal ow
nership league gathered to give the
committee what suggestions they
might have relative to what should
or should not be in the new rate or
, dinance, and also to discuss the new
rates that might be proposed for the
private consumer. ,
One of the matters of the franchise
that received considerable attention
from the committee was that of pro-j
tecting the city from the destruction
and damage to the paved streets
through, the digging up and faulty
replacing of the paving by the water
company and which ha been the
cause of more than general complaint
from the citizens of the community.
In the new proposed .rate ordinance
the company must have the written
permission of the mayor for making
all excavationsln the streets and will
be held strictly responsible for the
proper replacement of the paving or
the general condition of the street so
excavated and to see that the paved
street so torn up shall be placed in
- such shape as to be good for a per
iod of five years. Provision was also
made for the use of cast iron pipe
under the paved streets and on all
future extensions that may be made
in the mains of the company, in or
der to insure a longeY4X4-.the
mains and lessen the necessity for
excavating tbe streets. -' , y;- "
It Is also provided that when the
city may. order an additional fire hy
drant the company extend the mains
500 feet or 1,000 feet for two hy
drants, j
In the discussion of the use of cast
iron pipe for the water lines from
the mains to the lot line, it was de
cided to give the company the privi
lege of charging the sum of $10 as
against $8.50 under the present rate,
which would allow Tor the use of the
iron pipe instead of the present gal
vanized lines in use.
The rates as outlined by the fire
and water committee for the term of
five years, and which it is proposed
to incorporate in an ordinance, are
as follows:
Dwelling house, one family, flat
rate, $6 per year.
Meter rates: First 400 feet. 22c
per 100 feet; 500 feet, 18 c per
100 feet; 600 feet, 15c per 100 feet;
1.000 feet, HUc per loO feet; all
in excess. 10c per 100 feet.
The Municipal Ownership League
presented a slightly different sched
ule of rates, also arranged in decreas
ing ration in comparison with the
amount of water consumed, it being
as follows:
First 500 feet. 20c per 100 feet;
500 to 75,000 feet. 15c per 100 feet;
75,000 to 150,000 feet, 12c per 100
feet; excess over 150.000 feet by
agreement with the parties and the
water company. -
The meeting was however -for the
mere purpose of securing an ordin
ance that would be acceptable to all
concerjied and especially the private
conf.umer and will be brought up at I
the next meeting of the city council
by the. fire and water committee for
their action.

thousand white Leghorns, some sev
en hundred of this year's hatching,
while he has near three hundred lay
ing hens. From his yards he has sold
some two thousand eggs for hatch
ing purposes and also disposed of
fifteen hundred baby chicks which
in itself makes a pretty good busi
ness. He has some very good laying
records running as. high as 260 per
year, though his average will not
exceed 150 per hen per year, which
makes a good average. Mr. Nolte has
kept his grades very high and is ever

MANY FROM COUNTRY
Array of Splendid Offerings is Taken
Advantage of by Shoppers
from Far and Near.
From Thursday's Dai.
Yesterday was .one of the best of
the Bargain days that has been en
Joyed in the city since the starting
of this feature of the community life
and Plattsmouth was filled with a
great many from out in the county
who were here to look over the array
of the many staple articles in the
stores of the city.
The threatening weather served to
keep many away from the auction
sale but the line of extraordinary
goods offered was quickly grabbed
up by the seekers after some real
bargains.
Each of the business houses of the
city had made special features of
some line and these had been exam
ined by a committee from the public
not interested in the matter, and the
genuineness of the bargains vouched
for and the shoppers yesterday found
that the committee report was cer
tainly the real dose as there was
not a store in the city that did not
have a real bargain to offer to their
patrons. ,
BUS COLLIDES WITH
A CAR NEAR EAGLE
One of White Line Fleet Operating
between Lincoln and Neb. City
Crashes Into Auto.
' Last Saturday afternoon the White
bus which runs from Lincoln to Ne
braska City through Eagle collided
with a touring car on the Stephens
creek bridge. Mrs. C. P. Snyder of
this place was quite severely Injured,
having a broken arm and a limb bad
ly battered. Wm. U. Gaston, deputy
secretary of state, also a passenger
on the bus, was bruised about. - the
lower limbs somewhat, while the
lady in the touring car, whose name
we were unable to learn, was taken
to Lincoln with her head bandaged,
showing she had received injuries. V
There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to who was to blame for
the accident, but as it occurred 'oh
the bridge, with a clear view of the
road for a half-mile each way, tit
would seem that both were to blame
for trying to pass each other at such
a point. -
At last reports Mrs. Snyder is im
proving. Eagle Beacon.
