Eeject Appraiiement GOES TO POLLS IN THE SPRING Board Wilt labia It daeetlea of Bey. laT Water Works for Six Mil lloa Five Haadred Tsss. aaad Dollars, Declaring that, upon Investigation. It la It belief that "it la to the city's ultimate good to take the water work plant at the appraisement rather than to grant a new franchise" to the company, the Omaha Water board haa determined to submit to the people at the coming elty election a proposition to vote 600,000 bonds with which to buy the plant over which there has been so much litigation. The board disclaims ' any responsibility for the proposed purchase of the plant and the long delay, reminding the people of the city that the council, not the board, elected to purchase, and pointing out that It, the board, has done everything possible to hurry court action. "It has been the effort of the board to serve the people and to do no wrong to the water company," Is a sentence con tained In an official announcement of It decision to aubmtt to a vote of the people, "It I for the people to determine this matter." The official announcement I made, ac cording to lta opening sentence, "owing to the fact that many Incorrect statements have been made a to the position of the Water board In regard to the purchase of the water works." Text of the Statement. For thl reason it la deemed proper by the board to make the following public an nouncement of lta position, together . with a resolution of the board: The decision to purchase the water works was made Irrevocably by the council on March 1, IMS. It waa not done by the Water board. The law creating the Water board pro vided that the city ahould acquire water works in one of three waya, to be de termined by the council: Construction of new worka, condemnation of existing works or purchase of existing works through any existing contract. The council, and not the Water board, elected to acquire tha worka through the purchase provision con tained in the original franchise ordinance, which waa that the city might- purchase at a valuation fixed by three engineers The history of the appraisement- la well known. It resulted In a valuation of W.263,000. Tha board believed, and still be lieves, the appralaement to be not only invalid, but groasly In excesa of the actual value of the works. Aa a consequence. It belltved It to be lta duty, and still believes It to be It duty, to resist the enforcement of such an award. The board waa aua talned by the circuit court of the United States at Omaha, but waa reveraed by the circuit court of appeals at St. Louis. Th case i now pending In the supreme court of the United States, and the board la urgently pressing for an immediate hear ing. - The Water board haa at all times been c.ware of the It convenience ,to cltlsena arising through the long delay. It waa lmpcasible for the board to expedite the appraiaement. . aa that matter wa wholly In the hnda of the appraisers, and In spite of th protestations of the board they took their own time. The delay haa not. however, in the Jv dgment of the board, resulted in any atricua detriment to the city, however much it may have incon venienced individual cltlxene. If the award la sustained by the United States aupreme court then will ariae the question. In the final decree, aa to whether the water company ia entitled to Intereat on the amount of the award from the time of lta rendition up to th time of payment. If the decision is that the company la en titled to Interest, then the profits of the company from the time of the award will belong to the city: and as the . company haa at all tlmee resisted every effort of the board to ascertain It Income it i fair to assume that the proflta will balance any duea for Interest. The board haa uaed every effort at lta command to hasten the final outcome. It has undertaken to arrive at a compromise with the water company through which the property could be acquired for a reasonable amount, but haa been repulsed in its ef forts. It haa been met with the suggestion that no compromise la possible except on the basia of an extension of the franchise; but no definite proposition with reference to an extension of the franchise haa been presented to the board. The people alone can ay as to whether or not It Is their de sire to purchase the plant through pending proceedings or to grant a new franchise. Through the fact that the desire exists on the part of the company for an extension of franchise the - board haa been brought to the conviction that an extension of franchise would prove highly profitable to the company, and that It la for the beat Interest of the water consumer that the city - reserve lta franchise and own and operate lta own plant. I The board never Intends to place It in dividual or concrete opinion against tha will of the city. It has determined to aubmlt to the people at the next city election a proposition which will enable the people by their votes to ay whether it la th publlo desire that the city ahould own the worka or that a pri vate oompany ahould continue the owner ship. The board believes that If no com promise can be made whereby the water company will accept for the property an amount considerably less than tha ap praisement, the case Involving the ap praisement ahould be fought to a finish, and that If the city ia defeated It ahould take the property at the appraisement. Upon Investigation It Is the belief of the board that it to the clty'a ultimate good to take the plant at the appralaement rather than to grant a new franchise and thereby simply postpone the solution of a problem that will become Increasingly dif ficult with the growth of the city. Between the present time and the general city election In May the people, will have ample opportunity to conalder the whole situation and to make up their minds aa to what they desire the board to do. Their Instructions will be exhibited by the result of the vote on the bonds. It has been the effort of the board to serve the people and to do no wrong 10 the water company. The board haa not relied upon ita own Individual opinion or Investigation; it has smployed eminent en gineers, and assume that It ia in posses sion of Information as to the actual value of the worka. The extension of the fran chise or the granting of a new one can coma alone through the people. It I for the people to determine thl matter at th gent-ral election in May. MILTON T. BARLOW, ISAAC E. CONODON. A. HUGH HIPPLE, ROBERT B. HOWELL, DAVID J. O'BRIEN CHARLES R. SHKRMAN. Dated Omaha, .Neb., Feb. JO, 19(A). Reeolatloa. Thla la th board' resolution: Believing that the people of Omaha are in favor of municipal ownership of water worka, and will not approve any scheme looking to an extension of franchise to th water company and th placing upon poster ity of a situation similar to the present, and ar willing, if th auprom court of the United States find that th appraisement 1 just and valid, to take and pay for the worka the present appraised - valuation thereof rather than to grant an extension of or a new franchise, and that the city ahould be In readineaa to act promptly and a oocaatoa may demand. Be It resolved. By the Water board of the city of Omaha, that the attorneya of tne board forthwith prepare for the considera tion of and adoption by the board a proposi tion for aubmission to the people at tha general election to be held next May, pro viding for the voting of , 500,000 of bonds, the proceeds of which may be uaed. In part or whole.

Be It further resolved. That the attoraeya for the board be and are hereby also in structed to make, forthwith, a apeclal ap plication to tha aupreme court of the United State, setting forth the situation existing in Omaha and asking that the clty'a appeal be advanced ao that It may be heard at the earliest possible moment.

SD.-To th Editor of Th Bee: The gathering of a mob last night after th killing of a South Omaha policeman haa a bearing on a certain con dltlon in our country . which la - becoming very serious,' via, the decay of our court system. ' If there were no sentences com muted, or if there were no retrials, would a mob ever congregate to take justice in Ita own hands T Is not mob rule a positive backslide? Our mobs are not composed of rowdies, either. The honest, upright, mid dle clasa predominate In theae so-called mobs; men who think, men who "form the backbone of the nation." It muat be thla sort. of men, for rowdies have neither the courage nor mind to get up in anna on such an occasion. Now, if auch men rise on the Instant to deal aummarily, what ta the cause for auch action by such men? The answer Is, that the sentences of the courts are not exe cuted often enough. Men know that In tha majority of cases the murderer is not pun lahed. Ia It not time that a remedy be sought? Should the governor be allowed the pardoning . and commutation power? Should more than one retrial ever be al lowed? Why do not our legal lights who represent us in the legislature frame a remedial measure? Or, if auch a law can not be passed under the present constitu tion, let us have a constitution that will allow immediate' punishment for crimes where the evidence la as clear as in the killing of Patrolman Ed Lowery.
