I In his morning argument, Mr. McHugh ' discussed the conferences between the t real estate exchange, the city council, and the officers of tho gaa company I with reference to the granting of the j frnnchlso now In force. Judge McHugh sought to show that there was the great-; est possible publicity nttendtng tho pas- i sago of tho franchise ordinance Coun sel for the gas company by numerous , citations, exploited their argument that th Nobraska statutes were constltu ' tlonal, whllo the attorneys for tho city of Omaha, W. C. Lambert and Ben Baker, argued the technical unconstl ' tutlonallty ot tho act which gavo tho .council authority to grant the franchlsn and fix tho rates at which gas should be sold consumers, under that contract. ,f --. i ti o t V n , ,til. dn.n will Vim n.r.

"1 don't know whether the city will take It to tho supremo court, or uot," replied W. D. McHugh boforo ccMnsol for the city could reply. Tho crowd In tho' court room laughed. Attncka Conatltntlonnllty. Attacking tho constitutionality ot the amendment of 1S93, C. Lambert laid particular emphasis on the fact that tha amendment referred to a section of the statute, which provided for the construc tion of water works plants, instead ot gas manufacturing and distributing com panics. The amendment was to section 61 of tho general statutes, while the other provisions for the regulation ot gas companies and other public service cor porations, were found In section GO. The counsel for tho city referred to the pass, ago of this amendment na a bit ot 'stealthy legislation," and Intimated that it was made to apply to tho wrong sec tlon of tho statute for the purpose ot deceiving the people. Den Baker, followed Mr. Lambert, In sisted that even It the amendment In question wore valid, the wording of the amendment was to ambiguous that It In Itself was unconstitutional In Its applica tion. Ho contended that' tho phrase ot tho empowering act, "fix rates during the period named In tho ordinance or con tract," meant during tho existence of the council, and not forever, as had been suggested. He further declared that It their construction of this phrase were accepted, the rates fixed In the electric light ordinance might hold forever, stnee their franchise had been held as a per petual one, No Nejsntiye Ratification "You cannot construe this franchise to mean that the people shall not have the right to fix, rates," declared he. "The council cannot by lta inactivity, ratify a franchise, which If It Were submitted to, the voters today, would require the positive action of all tho voters. The city and the people are not seeking to destroy the franchise nor tear down tho property of the gas company. We are merely contending tho right to fix the rates. The laws protect the gas com pany from any confiscatory rates, Therefore, they are now merely contend. lng for an amount In excess ot the fair charges, which they should receive, and trying to hide behind an unconstitutional I law, which put In force .a franchise. !H which In the matter of rates, Is not valid."
