Men Who Are Making Omaha |
Sixty year* ago came forth In
Michigan a babe whose destiny It
was to cut considerable figure In
Omaha affairs. He traveled a some
what circuitous route In reaching his
destination, hut eventually got hope.
Robert Beerher Howell, senator of the
United States from Nebraska, was
born In Adrian, Mich., In 18t>4. Twen
ty-one years later he was graduated
from the United Stales Naval acad
emy at Annapolis. He then took a
law course in the Detroit School of
I-aw, and came to Nebraska In 1888.
Service as state engineer brought him
Into contact with public affairs, and
especially with the Irrigation needs of
the state.
In 1895 he was sppolnted city engi
neer for Omaha, snd was also a mem
ber of the board of visitors of the
United State* Naval academy. His
service as city engineer for Omaha
put him In touch with the water sup
ply situation, the franchise for the
Omaha Water company being about
to expire.
An effort to purchase the plant out
right having failed, Mr. Howell was
elected in 1902 a member of the state
senate from Douglas county, and se
cured the passage of senate file No. I,
tinder the terms of which the city
finally came Into possession of the
water plant. He was appointed a
member of the water hoard by Gov
ernor Mickey, and by the board was
placed In charge of the plant.
In 191* he was made general mana
ger of the Metropolitan Utilities dis
trict, operating tHe water, gas and
Ice plant* owned by the city. Here
hs remained until elected United
States senator In 1922. In 1914 he
was nominated for governor on the
republican ticket, and defeated by
Keith Neville. He was elected repute
Iran national committeeman in 1912,
1916 and 1920.
Mr. Howell served as a lieutenant
n the navy during the war with
6pain, and also during the world war.
He was chairman of the radio service
ommlsslon of the Postofflce depart
pent In 1921, and made a tour of
n\estlgation In Kurope In this con
lection.
Senator Howell also made a tour of
Alaska In company with a number
if senators and members of congress,
"specially to look over ttie railroad
lUilt by the government there.
