NO. 66 Mayor and Mrs John Sattler Re turn from Europe Return Home After Three Months Visit at Former Home of Mayor in Germany Frrm Monday's Pally This morning Mayor and Mr?. John P. Sattler returned home after visit or some three months in Germany where they enjoyed the time visiting the relatives of Mayor Sattler and visits to the cities of the Rhine section of the great German republic. They departed on the trip to Eu rope on June 25th, sailing on the steamship "Montclare" from Mont real and arriving at Hamburg, Ger many, some eight days later. Here was the first view of the Fatherland for our mas'or and the first visit of Mrs. Sattler to the land from whence had come her family many years ago. The contrast of the American cities to that of the great German Feaport was noted by the Plattsmouth visitors as they came from the docks to find the many fine hotels that lined the main section of Hamburg to ex tend to the traveler a hearty wel come to the old world. The main part of the time spent was in the state of Hessen-Darm-stadt where Mayor Sattler first saw the light of day and where his sis ters are living, extending to the visitors from the new world that hearty greeting that is so character istic of the whole souled and splen did residents of Germany. Mayor Sattler has two sisters residing at Erbach, a city comparable to Platts mouth in size while the third sister resides at Darmstadt, the state capi tal city, where the population is some 100.000. In their stay Mayor and Mrs. Sat tler were able to take a most de lightful opportunity of visiting the points of interest in that section of Germany, visits to the cities of Stutt gart, Coblenz, and Frankfort on the Main. The conditions in the country vis ited was very good, crps being ex- j cellent in the agricultural sections ) where they largely spent the time, j but there the wet conditions had j checked somewhat the crops, a dis tinct difference frcm this country where the year 1930 has marked one of the greatest drouths in history. J The people of Germany are suffering from excessive burdens of the war cost but In spite of this fact there was much building and the thrift and j industry of the people was fast over coming the great war burdens. Building was one of the chief fea tures of the country where Mayor and Mrs. Sattler visited and new homes, business establishments and other building operations were being car ried on a large scale. Mayor and Mrs. Sattler sailed on September 3rd from Hamburg and this morning at 7:30 arrived in Omaha, tired with the long trip but cheered with the fact of the hearty greeting that awaited them at home where the children were gathered and where the friends of their hap py years were awaiting to greet them.

City Council Votes in Favor of Meas ure for the Service for Na tural Gas in City f rom Tuesday's Daiiv The long standing question of the franchise for natural gas service from the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co., was terminated last night at the special session of the city council when the franchise granting the right to this company was passed by the unanimous vote of the coun cil. This action will mean that with in a two-week period the service of natural gas will be operative in this city. The judiciary committee of the city council has been busy in the past two weeks in consideration of the matter of a franchise and the con ference with the company officials and the members of the judiciary committee of the council culminated in the measure passed and which gives to the city the opportunity of natural gas at an early dr.y and through a measure that protects in every way the interests of the city and assures a more satisfactory rate, at the same time permitting competi tion, as the ordinance provides for a non-exclusive franchise. The measure provides that the life of the franchise shall be for the period of twenty years instead of twenty-five as was first suggested, that the company extend their mains free of cost to the consumer 200 feet providing that the consumer1 will guarantee to take for a one year period and that over this distance the consumer may place his own private line and maintain the same. It is also provided that the company install and maintain without addi tional cost, suitable meters. It is also provided that In case it shall later be necessary to supply the consumers witn artinciai gas or mixed gas, that the provisions in the franchise shall govern the operation of the same as with natural gas. The rates of the natural gas tin der the franchise passed will be as follows: First 500 cubic feet used per month, $2 per thousand cubic feet; next 1,500 feet, $1.50 per thousand; next 2.000 cubic feet at $1.00 per thousand; next 3,000 cubic feet at 75 cents per thousand, and all ex cess at 6 0 cents per tnousana. ine minimum monthly bill to be $1.00. Mr. Ilea, manager of the lighting company was present, and stated that the rate would be in the first units twenty cents per hundred and in the second 500 feet this rate would drop to fifteen cents, making the rate $1.75 per month to the con sumer, this being practically the average amount used by the house holder. The ordinance was then placed on ! its second and third reading by its title and passed by the unanimous vote of the council, the motion be ing made by Councilman Johnson and carrying through the measure for gas service. Councilman Luschinsky then mov ed that the city attorney be in structed to dismiss the action started against the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co., to prevent them operating under a former franchise and which also carried. The judiciary committee of the council has labored very earnestly in the matter of securing a just and fair franchise for the city and de serve a great deal of praise for their work, spending the greater part of the past two weeks in the ironing out of the differences between their views and the proposals of the light and power company. Mayor John P. Sattler was present at the council meeting and as he entered the rathhaus he was greeted by many Hochs from the assembled councilmen.
