rilE Btth: cnjAHA, SATl KUAV, MAX -:, 1 1 ! ( LIGHTS FOR YEAR AT A LOSS Such ;s the Assertion Made by Gen eral Manager Holdrege. PUBLIC HEARING ON THURSDAY 'nmnilaalnnrr Ilmlre to Cpt the VleTrn of the Pnhllc on tlralr nlillttr of KntrrlnR Into the Contract. That lights would be furnished to tho city for a year at an actual loss under the proposed five-year tuntrnct was as serted by General Manager H. A. Hold rcge of the Omaha Klectrlc Light apd Power company before the city commis sion. lresldont K. A. N'ash of the electric llKhtlnK company said he had been light ing the streets of Omaha for twenty years at cost. General Manaser Holdrego said the Mazda lamps proposed for Installation under the contract would cost $36.87 each per year, exclusive of overhead charges, which Is J1.S7 per year more than the proposed contract price. Under the contract, which Is to be prepatet! .by the city legal department and submitted to the council at a public meeting at tho city hall on the evening of Thursday, May 28, It Is proposed to Install the new lights gradually. Increas ing their number from 1,700 the first year to 2,100 the fifth year. This Is the ar rangement made because the city could not pay for 2,100 lights next year. CIiunKm In Contrnct. At the meeting of the city commission changes to bo made lu he contract were discussed and several suggestions were made. Councilman Thomas McGpvern suggested that bids for street lighting bo advertised for. "Or let K. Beecher Howell do It," sug gested President Nash. Assistant City Attorney W. C. Lambert wsb Instructed to Incorporate Into the contract a claus-j specifying that In case the city decided to Install a plant of Its own the contract would be termi nated. Attorneys for the lighting com pany and Mr. Nash objected to this. They objected to any reference In the contract to a municipally owned plant. Commissioner Dan 13. Butler suggested that fifty or more lamps be Installed for experimental purposes to find out If they gave as good light and If they were sat isfactory to the people. This suggestion was opposed by tho lighting company representatives, who said the company would keep the lights burning and live up to the contract or else forfeit the revenue. V levin of thp Public. The meeting to be held In the city ' council thamber Thursday Is ch'efly for the purpose of securing some expressions from the public as to the desirability of entering Into this contract. At the council meeting Mayor Dahlman said: "I think at the show-down It will be n question as to the advisability of, enter ing Into a contract, not a question of whether these lights will be satisfactory, for If they do not burn and give good light that will be the company's loss, not ours."
