ORDER TO RESTRAIN BOARD
Temporary Injunction Issued by Judge

AGAINST RECENT CUT OF METER RATES
Petition Declaree Cat Vu Finr.
ranted Bad I stair and Lca-lala-live
Eitrtmrnt Authorising
tt I nconstltutlonal.
The Omaha Water company aecured a
restraining order Monday morning from
Judge Munger In the United Slate circuit
court enjoining the Water board of the
city of Omaha from reducing the meter
rates for water supplied to consumers of
less than 1,000 gallons per day, as con
templated by the action of the Water board
at its meeting of May 1. The order is
made returnable June 12 at 10 o'clock a. m.
The bill of complaint asking for the in
junction is a voluminous one. It recites the
history of the plant, its subsequent ac
quirement by the present water company
and the ordinances relative to the early
establishment of water rates, And In gen
eral maintains that the act of the Ne
braska legislature of 195 authorizing the
Water board to reduce the water rates is
unconstitutional and involves a virtual con
fiscation of the property of the water com
Jany. The petition says that the water com
pany believes ar.d charges that the order
cf May 1 was made and a modification of
the meter rates therein set forth was at
tempted arbitrarily and without any inves
tigation on the part of llie Water board
to determine whether the rates were rea
sonable' and without any knowledge on
the part of the members of the board aa to
whether, said rates were reasonable; that
the rrtes fixed by the order are not author
ised by ordinance No. 422 and are In viola
tion of article v of tha constitution of the
State of Nebraska.
Froioiarri Law laralld.
The petition further maintains the act
of the Nebraska legislature of 1906 author
izing the Water board and giving it pow- I
era to fix rates to those who take less than
1,000 gallons of water per day impairs the
obligation and contract of the city of
Omaha fcwtth - tm -water com parry ' In that
regard as conflicting with ordinance No.
423, and is in violation of section 10 of
article t of the constitution of the United
States, and if enforced would .leprive the
water company of Its property irlthout due
' process of law. In violation of the provi
sions ,n that regard of sectlcn 1, article
xlv. of amendments to the constitution of
the United States.
It Is further maintained thiit the new
rates are unreasonable and will prevent
the water company from reaping the
proper compensation for its work and In
vestments, and that it will prevent other
citizen from paying the previous rates
and induce them to ' refuse to pay the
proper and Just rates for the vater they
use. and furnished at great expense by the
water company.
The water company therefore asks that
the order he declared invalid arid that all
proceedings of tha Water board be pro
nounced null and void in this rmvtter. that
It be required to rescind the order of
May 1 and be restrained from enforcing
any claim of forfeiture growing out of
charging and collecting by the water com
pany of the regularly established ra.tes as
authorized under Ordinance No. 42S, and
for such other relief as the water company
la entitled to under the law.
Following Is the order of Judge Munger:

not the same measure as the original bill,
a complete substitution having been made
in the house, and still another in the
senate. The title as adopted in the house
was amended In the senate. These charges.

the bill.

compromise measure, said today that he be
lieved the law would be held valid, but
that In any event the same special elec
tlon is provided for in H. R. 22S, another
charter bill passed by the legislature. In

while in Caracas he had heard a great
deal of these allegations Involving Mr.
Loomis' administration and had conversed
with - more than one person about them,
Mr. Bowen had talked, he said, not making
a request that Mr. Dater publish these

secretary in connection with Mr. Loomls'
counter charge against Mr. Bowen.

he was taxed by Mr. Bowen with a be
trayal of confidence in connection with the
publication of the charges, an Imputation
which he denied. Subsequently Mr. Bowen.
after talking further with Mr. Dater, ad
mitted that he had done the latter an In
justice in making such a charge.

Do you think
Nature ever intended
have short, stubby,
thin hair? Hair that
and falls out so
easily? Certainly not; such hair
is unnatural. Your
hair should be firm and strong, Ion
thick, soft and glossy;
the kind that Ayer's Hair Vigor
will give you. J C.
