Thomas C. Munger of the United States ,

have been concluded, IV. D. McMugU
speahlnK last in behalf of the gas com. '
pany. 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.

Munger o the attorneys.

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."
Hamghen May Sue
Oitv to Get Sewer
Building Contract
Suit against the city to force the let
ting of a M5,000 contract Is threatened
by J, .J. Hanlghen, a contractor, who
submitted a bid on the Paxton boulevard
storm sewer betwen Thirty-third and
Thirty-eighth street, after which all bids
were rejected on motion of Councilman
Thomas McOovem. wno sold there was
not sufficient money available to pay for
tho sewer.
Hanlghen maintains that this money Is
available and that It Is discrimination
not to give him the contract, since he was
low bidder.
The bids were opened May 6, and on
motion of McQovcrn, May 12, all bids
were rejected.
