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."

silk lined coats are staple. What's the
use of fooling them away. They will be
good next year. But nay, nay, that's
where we guessed wrong for fluffy, fussy
coats are the most wanted. And yet what
more sensible or serviceable for summer
wear than the Staple White Coat after
all. Lot's quit moralizing. Saturday we

sold up to $35.
