private corporation to take over the
Omaha water work and operate them
under a franchise to be granted by the
city council I the uggetlon which I
being offered to solve the water proposition
In Omaha.
Plan to make this proposition a certainty
are being worked out by a coterie of
Omaha cltlten, who believe It the only
feasible means of straightening out the
tangle and litigation which have Involved
the) city for many years.
The scheme provide that th members
of the corporation or syndicate which shall
acquire the holding of the water company
shall pay the amount of all Judgments and
clear the water works of debt.
Then a franchise will be granted for a
term of year, which will regulate the com
pany, limit the earning smd stipulate the
minimum and maximum amounts that can
be charged for hydrant rental. The earn
ing of the company will, be limited to 8
per cent If the project goe through.
The only thing that stands In the way of
the culmlnatnon of the projoct la a legal
question on which hlngee the proposition
of whether the council or the water board
ha the power to provide for such a fran
chise being granted.
Members of the Water, board contend
that they have absolute Jurisdiction over
all affair of the water company. The pro
moters or tne new scuejne iaKe issue on
hi and assert that the city council can
grant a franchise to any company it sees
fit. whether it be a water franchise or
what not. .
Lawyer ulre Their . terra.
Many lawyers of Omaha have given their
pinion that the city council can grant the
franchise. Among them Is John P. Brecn,
who Is active In the proposed plan to turn
the water company over to a private con
cern.
It la a question whether Omaha wants
municipal ownership of the water pi in'.,"
said Mr. Breen. "It seems that the proposi
tion to take over the plant, by a private
concern will serve the purpose as well ns
If the city operates the plant. The council
can regulate water rentals and In fact
specify the methods of operating the plant
in the franchise. Thla schema will relieve
the citizens of paying practically 18.000,000
for the plant and yet give Omaha water as
cheap as It could be sold under municipal
operation.
'As soon a the city takes over the plant
It will have to raise the price of water in
Omnna. At present, water Is being sold at
less, thsn cost to many manufacturing con
cerns and the smsll users are paying the
freight. When a readjustment of rates are
mt.de you will find that there will be a
general Increase throughout the city."
Members of the Wster board oppose the
ptoject fathered by Mr. Breen. The water
company, however, favors the plan.
'We will not handicap any proposition
which has for its purpose the acquisition
of the plant," said Theodore C. Wood
bury, president of the water company. "All
we want la our money In full and when It
is tendered us we will quit claim any in-,
terests we have In the plant."

Trust Decisions
Expected Monday
Belief that Supreme Court Will Ren
der Opinion Very Soon Caused by
Several Seasons.
WASHINGTON. March W.-T'nless the
supreme court of the Cnlted States decides
the dissolution suits against the Standard
oil and Tobacco corporation next Monday
there will be a disappointed group around
the capital. Not the least intimation has
been given that the decisions will be an
nounced on that day. The belief that
there will be a very early determination, I
attributable to several reasons. For two
month the entire court ha had the cases
iv.idr consideration and the majority had
them under advisement several months
after the first argument.
The fact that the court has rendered
comparatively few opinions since the argu
ment of the "trust cases" has led to the
presumption that Its members are devot
ing themselves largely to a consideration
of these "big" rases.
The belief was expressed that if the
decisions should not be announced Mon
day the court will reach a conclusion be
fore adjourning at the end of May.

By a decision filed Saturday by Judge T.
C. Munger in the federal district court,
the Omaha Water board Is bumped once
more in Its litigation with the water com
pany. The water company is suing for
overdue hydrant rental, to which the Water
board lawyers set up that the contract
price no longer held because the period
stipulated had expired, while the purchase
proceedings were on.
Judge Munger briefly rules that the con
tract for hydrant rental continues un
changed and that unless the Water board
haa aome other excuse to offer the city
will have to pay up on these bills as on
previous hydrant rental bills.
About S3W.0Q0 and Interest Is involved. The

How to Avoid Street Car Accidents
VI. -Riding on the Running Board
T
HE running board of an oik-ii car is not the safest place in
the world to ride upon. In the first place, there is the
a j, - - - -
danger of falling or being pushed off, and, in the next place, there
is the danger of being "raked" off by some vehicle driving or
standing too close to the track to permit of safe passage, or by a
pile of building material which may be piled close to the track.
Therefore, always take a seat in the car when there are any va
cant; or, if you are obliged to ride upon the running board, hold
firmly to the upright hand hold or the back of a seat and keep
a lookout for vehicles and other objects along the track.
