Omaha water rates will lie raised 20
. ‘per, cent unless the city council con
’ tlnues to make an appropriation to
j the water hoard, according to T. A.
" Lelspn, general manager of the Met
J ropolitan 1'tiltles district, who spoke
s‘ io the city council Monday morning,
a Randall Brown, member of the
Z utility hoard, also spoke in favor of
i nn appropriation. T’p until now, the
4, erty has always paid what was called
‘ "hydrant rentals." A case Is now
' - before supreme court in which It is
Trying to lie shown that tlie city gov
ernment has no right to do this.
Arguing that It would be better to
have a general levy for the upkeep
of the water company than an ln
rrease in rates, the two men told of
the expenses of maintaining the hy
drants and the company in general,
showing why such an appropriation
was necessary. The resolution will
come up before the council Tuesday.
After Commissioner Koutsky had
made a statement to the effect that
he was glad to see Leisen come up
and tell tlie facts concerning the case,
Han Butler said, "I'm glad to sec
itint Koutsky admits that the trouble
was only political emnity between

Dangerous Radio Aerials Inspected
.-:-—-—-1
Following the death of Henry T,e
Roy Nelson while handling a dan
geroits radio aerial, a reporter am
photographer for The Omaha Bet
made a tour of Investigation will
City Kleetridan I. Lovett to look ovei
some of the dangerous aerials.
"1 have pleaded with radio funs tc
remove their dangerous aerials, ant
I regret to slate, that unless thej
do, there may be more deaths and
property damage by fire," sale
Lovett.
Lovett said he would Insist that all
Dwners of radio sets obtain permit!
from the Hty electrician's department
ss provided by the city ordinance
This will enable the city to make s
thorough investigation of the aerials
In every instance where dangerou!
serials were found, Lovett notified
the owners to remove the hazard im
mediately.
Danger Tremendous.
"These radio fans don't realize hou
near ileal h they are." said I.ovett
We will furnish all aid necessary ir
taking down dangerous aerials. Man>
would imperil their lives by even try
Ing to take them down."
One of the first houses visited was
at 5114 Burt street. This aerial runs
from a tower on the roof of the house
to a large tower on the garage. The
structure on the garage is built be
tween two service wires leading from
the pole to the house. The photo
graph shows two single wire aeriHls
and one four-wire aerial fastened to
the garage tuwer.
In case of failure of either of
the single wire aerials to hold they
would fall and come In contact with
110-volt service wires, with the re
sult that one or both of the radio
sets attached would be burned up.
In case repairs to the tower struc
ture are needed it would be necessary
to go up the structure between the
service mires, which might result in
a shock ami serious injury.
Insulator On Tower.
Apparently, realising the hazard of
the electric light wire ruhhing against
the structure the owner had one
wire fastened to the tower with a
porcelain insulator. During a recent
storm ihe wire was pulled loose.
Constant rubbing of this wire against
the structure or the guy mires might,
under certain conditions, set fire to
the garage.
In case of a serious wind storm the
guy mires, which are fastened to the
roof by small nails, would be pulled
loose and the entire aerial structure
pulled over on the electric light mires
and the radio sets would he burned
up, aerial wires would be charged
mith high volts of electricity, and any
person unfamiliar with electricity
who happened to come in contact
j with them would be seriously Injured
I and possibly killed.
