Three Want Pay
for Inspection of
New Dundee Lights
Like a certain active ghost of dramatio
lore the name of l5undee will not down
In the city council chamber.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company, A. A. Rouner and R. A. Rohr
bough have claims against tha city for
electrical Inspection in the sums of $73,
J122.GO and 1174.06, respectively. Tha fi
nance and accounts department would
not allow the claims until their reason
ableness had been determined. The coun
cil referred the matter to the superin
tendent of public Improvements for In
vestigation. "1 am unable to understand why our
etty electrical department could not have
made the Inspection of the new lighting
system In Dundee. If we want a little
lob done on the city hall elevators we
have to send outside to have tha work
lone," said one of the commissioners.
The commissioners are curious to know
why three inspections were necessary on
the Dundeo lighting plant which was
turned over at the time of consolidation
In a partially completed condition.
