Quietly a number of the city officials have been watching for the advent of tho McKinley system power house, which rumor has It Is to be built soon on the outskirts of South Omaha as a measurn of relief against the renewal ot the light Ins lease with the Omaha Electric Light and Tower compan next year. It Is known that for some weeks the McKlnJey Interests have been dickering for a slto Just beyond tho city limits on Q street, Tho "site Is wanted for a power house td supply current to the Omalia-Papllljon line and later the Omaha-Ueutrlce-LIn-coin line. While the extensions ot the interurban street car lines arc looked upon with great Interest In .South Omaha, the com ing of the new power house. It Is hopol. will mean a better light service for South Omaha. It appears from the statements made by different councllmcn that They will not renew tho contract with tho Omaha company next year It there Is any other way out of It. Certainly If the agreement-Is renewed; it will not be for a long time, During the last few months a numrx-r of plans for Independent light ing In South Omaha have been discussed,' Nothing came of the talk, but when. It was learned that the McKinley Interests would erect a power house right near the edge of town the talk began again. Just what It will amount to cannbt bu said. Work nnita Cut Donii. With money tightness Increasing and cold weather coming on, the packing houses ot South Omaha aro said to be cutting down their work gangs, Old packing liouso men say times are dull.

News from the Insurance Field Cramer and Byrne Attend Important Chicago Meeting Guy M. Cramer and llarrv 8. Uyrae left Omaha on t-'aturday evening for Chicago to attend the most Important casualty Insurance conference ever held In this countr.. Todav the executives of nil the biggest casualty companies In the country, tho Insurance commissioners ot all the states, officers of the National Association of Casualty and Surety agents and Its lending members through cut the country will bo present at a meeting called by Insurance Superin tendent Kmmctl of Now York. Mr. Emmctt recently made a very rad ical order reducing the commissions on liability Insurance to S) per cent for general agents. This was resisted by the llablllay agents, who quickly formej a national association, which ha become nn Important factor In the reduction ot acquisition expense. It was In response to the application of the officers of the National Association of Casualty and Surety agents that Mr. Emmett called the meeting In Chicago. It is reported that Mr. Emmett had prepared an order reducing commissions on personal accident business which was to bo followed by similar action with regard to surety bonds and other cas ualty lines. It Is tho contention of tho agents that'll Is unfair, to them to bo forced to bear the jtntlro burden of re duced expenses and that there should be a reduction In tho expenses of the home offices, particularly In the way of salaries of officers, and If necessary an Increase In rates.
