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.

a very large number of the old time

SHOOT INTO CABLES
From Monday's Dally
Edgar McGuire, signal man of the
Burlington here, was engaged this
morning in the task of repairing the
cables that carry the wires of the
signals along the line. These cables
were damaged by some one shooting
into them and the repair is a task
that takes some time as the signal
man must travel in a swinging stage
along the line of cable until he lo
cates the exact place that the cable
was damaged and then repair the
same. The damaged cable was on the
line from the Burlington station
south to the signal tower. Mr. Mc
Guire states that a large number
of the cables on the Iowa side just
east of the bridge have been dam
aged and which required a great
deal of work to get in repair and
these have taken up a great deal of
his time since March in this line
of work, some one shooting one of
the cables with a shotgun and a
great amount of shot was extricated
from the damaged cable.

One of the most pleasant experi

Lockesberg, whfe the largest peach
oi chard in the world is located and
which was a wonderful sight wita
the millions of ripened fruit on the
trees. The diamond mine was alai
visited but this is very carefully
guarded and no one can approar-h
nearer than 300 feet to the mouth.
The city of Hot Springs was found
a spurce of unending pleasure to the
Nebraska party and they spent sev

drew tin- iiuenirn of the visi rs
and were -watched, for hours at a
time. While at Hot Springs Mr. and
Mrs. Klimm enjoyed a visit to a
cotton ginning mill to see the work
being carried out. They also visited
the observation tower on Hot Springs
mountain 165 feet high.
On the return home they stopped
at Little Rock, Arkansas, and thence
over the Ozarks to Fort Smith, Ar
kansas, stopping enroute at Sulphur
Springs, taking their dinner enroute
at Tip Top Tavern, one of the high
est points in that part of the south.

Gas Franchise
Voted the Iowa-
Nebraska Co.
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.
