Automobile Topics : The tire chains
are undoubtedly doomed. A Chicago
physician has dlKcovured that they stir
up the get IIIB In the Htreet dust , and
ho enlls for the pnRKugu of a city ord
inance forbidding their use. This
physician's motto evidently Is , "Let
Sleeping Germs Lie. " Of COUHO , the
small amount of agitation duo to
horses and wheeled vehicles does not
stir up the germs sufllclontly to do
any damage1 ! Another way to deal
with these refractory germs would bo
to have the water in the sprinkling
earth HO treated that it would kill the
gerniH as soon as the liquid reached
them.
"A great deal of unnecessary tire
expense Is borne by automohlllsts be
cause they do not keep their tires
pumped hard , " said a motor expert.
"Tho damage done by running tires
liiKiilllclontly Inflated , " ho says , "Is
duo to the fabric In the casing. The
play of the sldo walls In a soft tire has
a tendency to separate the several
plys of friction fabric so that they
shullle. as tire men call It. This shuf-
lllng cuts the threads and permits of
a blowout. No tire In the world can
stand being run only partly Inllated.
Motorists will get from 10 to 25 per
cent more service out of tires if they
are kept good and hard. "

FULL CONTEXT OF THE PLAN OF
MR. DULLOCK.
TO OPERATE DY ELECTRICITY
Proposition Now Before the City
Council to Install Electrical Ma
chinery at the Pumpljio Station Has
Many Good Features.
The proposition of E. A. Bullock to
do the pumping at the city water sta-
tlon , which Is before the city council
at this time , has been staled in so
many different ways and so many con
structions have been put upon the
terms of the proposition , that The
News herewith publishes the docu-
menl Just as It was presented to the
city council on March 5 :
To the Honorable Mayor find City
Council , Norfolk , Neb. Gentlemen :
In compliance with your request wo
are pleased to submit the following
proposition to you for furnishing the
power and labor and maintaining the
present pumping station Intending to
include in this all items of expense
for maintaining and operating except
repairs and Insurance on the buildings.
We agree upon oui' part to Install
a belted power pump In the place of
the small pump that you now have ,
making all connections at our own
expense , and to also install an elec
tric motor of suitable size to drive
this pump to Its full capacity , which
shall not bo less than five hundred
gallons per minute.
We agree to maintain the water nt
not less than twenty feet from the
top of the stand-pipe nt all times and
to furnish the water commissioner
with a dally chart showing the pres
sure maintained for eacli of the pre
vious twenty-four hours if desired.
Wo agree to keep the large pump
and ono boiler in readiness for any
emergency that might arise so that it
can be fired up and put In operation
In a very short time and In case of
any accident to our machinery to fur
nish the coal and labor to operate it.
We agree to install the fire whistle
at our station and have a man in at
tendance twenty-four hours daily to
operate the same whenever an alarm
Is turned in.
The city to furnish us the residence
building on their lot at the pumping
station without cost to us and to pay
us for fulfilling the foregoing part of
our proposal the sum of $189.00 per
month.
Or if the city purchases and Installs
a immp suitable for this work then
they are to pay us for fulfilling the
foregoing part of our proposal the
sum of $170 nor month.
Or If the city will furnish and In
stall the pump and motor both , selec
tion of which are to bo suitable and
acceptable to us , they are then to pay
us for fulfilling the foregoing part of
our proposal $100.00 per month.
Or if the city will furnish and in
stall pump'and motor both , selection
of which are to be suitable and ac
ceptable to us , they may pay us the
rate of five cents (5c ( ) per thousani
gallons for fulfilling the foregoing
part of our proposal.
All of the above prices being basec
upon a contract for six years.
The city is to agree to enforce the
present ordinances In relation to the
use of water and not to change the
ordinances during the term of this
proposed contract without our con
sent.
sent.The
The city Is also to agree that no
consumer having sewer connectioi
shall have a "flat rate. "
The city Is also to agree to main
tain the same diligence in stopping
leaks In mains , hydrants and connec
tions that they do now or should i
they were pumping the water them
selves.
The city Is also to agree that by
drants and sewers are not to be
flushed more often than they hav
been in the past and In no dlfferen
way and that we are to be notified on
the day and the time that hydrant ls
and sewers are to be flushed.
The city Is also to agree that for th
water furnished new consumers , tha
Is consumers connected after the be
ginning of the proposed contract , tha
they will pay us at the rate of fiv
cents (5c ( ) per thousand gallons fo
the water so furnished as shown b
Itthe consumer's meter la addition t
the rate per month above specified.
It Is understood that If for any rea-
son the wells do not furnish sufficient
water for the needs of the city that
the city will remedy this deficiency ati
Its own expense.
In general the city is to agree on
its part to maintain the same general
diligence In looking after the econom
ical use of water for all purposes that
It would If It was operating the plant
Itself and any unusual use of water
for purposes other than those occur
ring In the past is not to be allowed (
except by mutual consent. .
On our part In general It Is Intend
ed that our part of the contract shall
cover all expenses incident to pumping
ing water , maintaining the machinery
and nil labor necessary for said pur
poses and as diligently or more sent
than the city if operating the plant
Itself.
Above "flat rate" per month Is based
upon the expense of operating , main ,
taining and repairing the plant by the
city for the last ninety-three months
less salary of engineer at pumping
station and less repairs to the buildings
Idle
ings , sidewalks , etc. If this estimate
is found Incorrect wo agree to accept
amount found to be correct In lieu of
amounts above specified.
Respectfully submitted ,
Norfolk Electric Light & Power Co. "
By E. A. Bullock , President.
In presenting his proposition to the
council , Mr , Bullock made a statement
T
ment explaining its meaning ns fol
lows :
. ,
There Is no sentiment nor should '
be none about this proposition. It j's
Just a cold blooded business deal on
both sides. If the city can save money
or increase the efficiency of the plant ,
or both , It should accept It but it
should not accept It simply because
I desire it nor refuse It for this or a
similar reason.
The question of whether the city
shall hire its own fireman and pur
chase coal and hire its repairs to its
own machinery and operate In this
wn > Its plant or whether It shall purchase -
chase all of those Items from one
compan.Is a question nil are vitally
Interested In whether he Is a con
Hiimer of water or IB a tax-payer and
one entitled to lire protection.
1 would not say as a general propo
sition that because our proposition
costs the city lens than your present
method that the city should accept It
unless on the other hand there wan
no lessening of the protection given
b } the water system against loss by
tiro.
File protection should bo given the
llrst consideration In weighing this
matter. I therefore ask that you con
sider the benefits accruing In this di
rection from having a man In attend
ance for all and each of the twenty-
four hours and the pump running and
maintaining almost a constant pres
sure , It being our Intention to run the
pump slowly for not less than twenty
hours.
In making this estimate of the city's
expense of operation of the plant T
have taken the last seven years and
n I no months.
This Is giving the city the "long end
of it" for the following reasons :
1st. During the first three or four
years of this period many of the
expenses were paid out of the general
fund.
2nd. During the first four years coal
was about $1.00 cheaper per ton than
now which would add about $30.00 per
month to the cost of running the plant
figuring the present cost of coal.
3rd. Several of those years the la
bor of engineer was only $15.00 per
month , now It Is $60.00 per month and
some months more.
4th. The consumption of water has
greatly Increased and wo have figured
the average for all the years together.
5th. The forming of the now sewer
dis'tricts and the compelling of citi
zens to put in the inside closet sys
tems will greatly Increase the use of
water by the present consumers. Wo
will get nothing for that.
Gth. Each new sewer district will
probably have a flushing tank flushing
the sewer twice In twenty-four hours.
We have figured nothing for that.
7th. As the city increases in size
tires will bo more frequent , therefore
more water than heretofore.
On the point of our asking five cents
per M. gallons for water furnished to
absolutely new. consumers we mean
at a new location , not a change from
flat rate to meter nor an Increased
use by present customers.
I figure that the difference between
what the consumer "will actually use
and your minimum will pay all of this ,
so the city will practically get 15c per
M. gal. net out of this even.
The question of course will be
raised as to the accuracy of my state
ment of the expenses for the past sev
en years. If you should ask me if it
is correct I should be compelled to
answer , No ! It Is not But it Is a
"mighty good" guess.
The reason for this Is that there
are many items on your record that
do not show where the money was
spent , whether on the mains or hy
drants or in the station. Some of
those items are in my tabulation and
some are left out. It would be nec
essary in some cases to go to the orig
inal bills to be absolutely sure on
some of the items.
The last nine months are the only
ones that arc absolutely correct.
These are taken from the stubs of the
warrant book and your water commis
sioner stated where the expense was
incurred.
So from the city's standpoint you
have a guaranteed saving of the cost
of labor and you arc right now up to
the question of having two men In
stead of one at the station.
This city Is growing and what was
satisfactory for a city of 3,800 people
will not be for flve or six thousand
people.
Some people have asked me , how
can you do It , save the city so much
money and still make anything your
self ? I have explained It this way.
If the R. R. Co. had a train going
from Norfolk Junction to Long Pine
with thirty cars , engine all steamed
up , full crew , engineer , fireman , con
ductor , two hrakemeu and a caboose ,
engine with a capacity of fifty cars.
If there was three more cars stand
ing on siding going to same destina
tion , they would not fire up another
engine just because they had it and
had the round-house built to keep the
engine In and get out another crew to
take those three cars , they would put
them on this train with the "stand
by" losses all taken care of.
It Is this way with us. We have
steam up and the capacity and the
men all paid for and can take your
load without figuring any of those
losses.
In short , the proposition is to fur
nish power to operate the pumping
station at a total cost to the city that
will effect a saving over present plan
of operation of the wages of one man.
Under the proposition , Mr. Bullock
will install electrical machinery , keep
all the help necessary to maintain
good service at a cost of $189 per
month , which Is claimed to be the
average cost for the past seven years ,
exclusive of wages of the fireman. If
these figures are correct , then the
proposition of Mr , Bullock is certainly
a good one , because It means a saving
of at least $720 a year to the city. If
on further Investigation It appears :
that the cost In the past has not been
figured correctly , then it Is under-
stood that Mr. Bullock stands ready
to revise his figures to correspond
with what may be found by competent
accountants to be true , deducting
wages of the fireman. Summarized ,
the proposition Is to operate the plant
by electricity at a cost to the city $ GO
a month less than it can be operated
by the city through ahe present method
od of buying coal , hiring help and
maintaining the steam equipment.
Mr. Bullock is able to do this be
cause he is maintaining a 24-hour sen
vice nt the electric light station , and
has not now sufficient load to run his
plant during a portion of the time at
a profit , and he can therefore supply
the additional power needed to op
erate the water plant at small addi
tional expense This makes it pos
sible for the city to share In the ad
vantage to the electric light plant of
having a full load all the time.
As a matter of principle , If the elec
trio light plant will operate the water :
plant even ns cheaply as It can bo
done by the cltj , It Is right to patron-
l/.o a homo InduHtry. It IH better to
build up n Norfolk Institution than to
contribute to the enrichment of coal
mini's In a distant state aud the rail
t' roads ' | which bring the coal to the city.
The money stent to those coal mines
Is lost to this community , whllo the
money expended at homo IH continued
In | | circulation right hero whore it is
wanted. A number of smaller plants
In the city have adopted electricity
as a power , and what would lie of ad
vantage to n small plant would apply
with equal force to a larger one. The
News last year put In motors through
out. Power is supplied at practically
the same cost that It was when using
gasolene engines , with the advantage
that . It Is always ready for use , there
Is never a loss of time In cleaning up ,
and The News figured that it wan
much better from the standpoint of
helping to build up Norfolk to pay the
money Into a home Institution than
It was to send It to Mr. Rockefeller
for gasolene.
The principle in the proposition is
right. All the council should he caio-
fill about In adopting It is that the
estimate of cost in basing the amount
to pay Is figured correctly.
OMAHA INDIAN WOMAN "ALL
TURNED AROUND" HERE.
RUNS INTO CRAVEN'S HOUSE
A Stranger In Town , Mrs. Indian Be
came Confused and Fled Down South
Fifth Street for Protection Then
Refused to Leave.
An Omaha squaw , who would never
have missed her way on the re&crva1
tlon prairies , became thoroughly
alarmed In Norfolk last evening and
fled for refuge Into a South Fifth
street residence , the home of Council
man Dan Craven. Mystified at the
strange town she was In , terrified and
bewildered , the squaw could not be
forced to leave the house and the po-
llco had to be called to remove her.
After the Indian woman had been
removed from the house by force she
was taken to the police station over
night and this morning placed on the
right train.
The squaw came from Niobrara and
was on her way to Bancroft. All dur
ing the noon hour she lingered about
the Northwestern depot. She left the
depot as her train , the Sioux City pas
senger , came in and came back in
time to try and hoard the Bonesteel
train for the north. When she was
not permitted to get back on this train
she was thoroughly confused and as
out of place In her city surroundings
as a wild animal. When dnrknesb
came she sought refuge In an inviting
looking house , which happened to be
the Craven residence.

From the Fourth ward coiues the
story that C. R. Kampman , the demo
cratic candidate for the council from
that ward , openly supported his re-
nibllcan opponent , C. J. Hlbben.
While hot contests were being pulled
) lt in the other wards , down In the
fourth all was harmony. In the
Fourth C. R. Kampman , as a private
citizen exercising his private right to
lo us he pleased decided , so it Is said ,
that he would rather see C. J. Hibbon
: m the council than the democratic
nominee. So Kampman got out and
worked for Hibben. For the first time
n a good many years the Fourth ward
came in solidly republican. Outside
) f City Engineer Salmon , only one
lemocrat carried the Fourth and that
was Pat Kllloran for the school board.
Pat Dolan , a prominent democratic
itlzon of the ward , refused to bo In
terviewed , but I'at Uolan , as the re
publican councilman from the Fourth
ward , said that he was satisfied with
the returns. What Pat Dolan as a
democratic citizen thought doesn't
make any dlffeiciice. He may be able
to vote but he Isn't a councilman as
a democrat.
