Merest Bagatelle
of Three Thousand
Prevents Settling
City and Gai Company Are at Vari
ance on Fifty Cents Per
Street Lamp.
Only U cent a lamp per year, a detail of
about $3,000, la all that stands between the
Omaha Oaa company and th city council,
preventing a settlement of th litigation
over gas lighting for th last five years.
Such a statement waa made by a member
of the city council Wednesday morning,
who haa been active In negotiation for a
settlement.
The gas company ha offered to take
$26.50 a lamp per year and 1 per cent In
terest on the claims. An offer of $2$ and S
per cent Interest haa been mad by coun
cil members, but th tender was refused
by the officials of '.he gas company.
Some member of the council are urging
a settlement on th term of th gas com
pany, contending that as only a difference
of $.1,000 exist this amount will net go
very far in paying expenses which will be
Incurred by a long squabble In the courts.
Settlement la also urged because the
residue left would afford means for better
lighting of th streets, giving each coun
cilman . about fifteen extra lights. The
lighting fund at present has $17.000 to Its
credit, exclusive of the 1AU levy and
money to be received from royalties. 8ev
enteen thousand dollars were transferred
from the lighting fund Tuesday night for
the collection and removal of garbage.
