The resolution further stipulated that $73,0C0 would be paid the company for loose, unnppralscd property and that the board waived all claim for shrinkage since the appraisal of this property in April. Mr, Howell said the 173,000 was paid when the city assumed ownership of the plant, and that the board had decided to waive Its claims because the cost of ap praising the property again would be considerable and that worki of the water commissioner and the board would be retarded by a lot of "fuddlln" around.

The board has diiected that a rate o( 8 cents per 1,000 gallons, to be charged the South Omaha packing houses and stock yards, be put Into effect, the reso lution Authorizing the rate to be retro active, dating from July 1 of this year. This raise has been opposed by the packing houses and the board has' In vited Interested parties to be present at a meeting to be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. By this increase, S cents per 1,000 gallons, the Water board expects to In crease Its yearly revenue at least 175,000. The packers now consume one-third the water pumped. Water Commissioner Howell Is author ity for the statement that the ttock yards and packing houses must use water pumped from the Omaha plant. A plant Is being built in South Omaha to supply tfiestock yards district. It is expected to fie completed some time this fall. It Is designed to replace the serv ice furnished by Omaha. Mr. Howell and attorneys maintain that when the court forced the Water board to take over the South Omaha serv ice of the water works It gave the board the same right to operate in South Omaha hnt It has in Oamahn. If this contention Is true, and the courts will be asked to Mi.Uiii such a contention (f the South Omaha plant ever goes into ' operation, tho South Omahana have no right to construct or operate a competing plant, It Is said. I,et Contract for Main. Contract for the construction of the lorty-elght-lnch main from Florence to Miller park was let to the John J. Hanl ghen company of Omaha for $114,000, this t elng the lowest bid. The pipes to be used In this main will be of three-eighths-inch thickness and the joints will be steel riveted. Hanlghen will be put under contract to complete the work by Decembtr 1, next. Jackson McKensIe, who secured the contract for laying the south half of the main, will be given another contract, be cnuse they have refused to lay the main down Twenty-eiKhth avenue for the fig ure they bid on Twenty-sevnth street. This change Will cost the board 18,353 additional, as far as the contractors are concerned. Purchase of from thirty to fifty car loads of sulphate of alumina, a coagulate used In clarifying the water at the plant, was authorized by resolution, the water commissioner to buy as needed.

' 'It will cost us more .noney. to to down Twenty-eighth avenue," sail How ell, "but It Is necessary to et this water main through. The people need the service and the Water board, in or der ' to get It through, Is willing to soend $25,000, although we prefer the Twenty-seventh street route." The water commissioner was bom barded with questions, charges that money was being misspent and asser tions that there "was no Justice In the city hall." which "housed a eod.ah aristocracy." Then John Smith was chosen treasurer and money to secure a lawyer and seek an Injunction was subscribed. A com mittee had been appointed at a previ ous meeting with power to secure legal assistance. Objections to Twenty-eighth avenue finally simmered down to this: The property-holders object to paying the cost of condemnation proceedings which will be necessary when appraisers re port on the damage to 2,150 feet of pri vate property and this property is con demned. Mr. Howell pointed out that this ex pense would be Incurred whenever the street was opened, whether It was for a water main or other, public Improve ments, and that objections at this time would . simply result In delaying , the work on the main, which ought to be gin at once In order , to have It com pleted before snow flies.

Free Water to City Allowed by Ruling Given Out by Fisher WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Oltie8 here after may have free water for municipal purposes and fir Irrigation. Provision thtrtfor Is made tn regulations for governing water power development on public lands outside national forests, promulgated by Secretary of tho Interior Fisher and announced tonight. The new regulations are In line with the recent recommendation that free grants of coal lands Should be made to cities by the government. To grant per mits for municipalities to mine their own coal will require congressional action before the secretary can act. No pre vious secretary of the Interior has made use of the wide discretion given to him by law of giving cities water rights free of charge. The new regulations provide also that permits may be granted to water power companies operating for profit, but In these cases there will be rental charges. If at any time the state or the munici pality should desire to take over the ! plant It may do so under certain con ditions. Secretary Fisher holds that there can be no permanent solution of the problem of water power conservation until a law Is passed giving to water power companies a sure tenure for a fixed term of years.
