THE BEE: OMAHA.' FRIDAY. JANUARY SO 1920. GAS CO. DEMANDS TWICE WHAT THE CITY WILL OFFER Omaha Corporation Counsel Begins Argument Before Condemnation Court De cision Expected Feb. 9. The Omaha Gas company wants nearly twice as much for its plant in Omaha as the city of Omaha be lieves it is worth. Corporation Counsel Lambert be gan the argument of the case before the board of condemnation in the court house yesterday. Evidence has been taken at various times since last March. After the argu ment is finished the three men who form the board of condemnation will render their decision. The highest figure arrived at by the experts employed by the city was $3,351,000 and the lowest figure $3,000,0(O. The gas company's ex perts found the plant to be worth from $5,500,000 to $6,000,000. It is the task of the board of condemna tion to decide on a fair figure be tween these twp widely divergent valuations. Public Right to Use. "The right to use this property has always rested in the public, de clared Corporation Counsel Lam bert in making his argument this morning. "It has only been trans ferred to the gas company tempor arily during the life of the com pany's franchise." "But of what use is this plant without the right to use it in manu facturing and distributing gas?" asked ex-Senator W. V. Allen, a member of the board of condemna tion. "It is of no particular use," said M r. Lambert, "without the franchise. But the city owns the franchise and without that franchise the gas com pany has little U!j for its plant and equipment." Decision February 9. Mr.-Lambert is alone in arguing the city's side of the case. The gas company is fortified by three repre sentatives of legal talent, Judge W. D. McHugn. recently appointed gen eral, counsel for the International Harvester company; W. H. Herd man and J. W. Dana of Kansas City. The board of condemnation which has been hearing the evidence and will make the final decision consists of District Judges George A. Day of Omaha, E. E. Good of Wahoo, and Vy. V. Allen of Madison, Neb. The argument of the big case will take three days. Final decision on a price at which the city can buy the plant will be handed down by the board of condemnation before February 9, on which date Judge Day takes his seat as a supreme Final Hearing In the Suit Against Change ; Ot Bee Name Feb. 26 j A final hearing in the plea for a permanent injunction restraining any attempt to change the name of the Bee building will be heard before Judge Wakeley in district court February 26, it was announced yes terday by Rosewater, Cotner & Pea singers, attorneys for the Bee Build ing company. Judge Troup recently dissolved the temporary injunction, but on account of becoming presid ing udge of the district court was u.iable to proceed with the hearing on the permanent injunction. How Long Will It Born? Seal a lighted candle in a jar. Soon the flame will die down and burn feebly until finally, when the oxygen has been exhausted the light goes out. The candle burns only as long as the supply of oxy gen lasts. Without oxygen there can be no , life. The body dies unless the blood is supplied with oxygen. If your blood is not vitalized with life-giving oxygen, it soon becomes thin, pale and impoverished. If you are run down, nervous and anaemic, it simply means that you have not enough oxygen in your blood. Try the REOLO Tonic Treatment that supplies to the blood the organic iron (which is easily assimilated by the blood) the revitalizing, life-giving oxygen and the natural cell-salts that the body must have to maintain health, strength and vigor. REOLO has remarkable tonic and reconstructive qualities. It stimu lates the circulation of the blood, and makes the whole body pulsate with renewed energy and vitality. Start the systematic REOLO Treatment today and you will be delighted with the steady improve ment in your health. The large package of 100 'pleasant, tasteless tablets sufficient for two weeks' treatment, only costs one dollar and it is fully guaranteed. If you are not perfectly satisfied with the results obtained we will gladly re turn your money.

Mr. Breen looked up the law and discovered that before the council could legally approve this project notice should be given to all in terested property owners of a spe cial meeting to consider the legality and sufficiency of the petition call ing for improvement Mr. Breen's plan was to allow the council to ap prove the project without holding t special meeting, and then he would attack the validity of the proceed ings at a later date. Yesterday when Mr. Breen 'and a delegation ' of protestants ap peared in the council chamber, he was asked if he wished to make any statement Blandly, Mr. Breen an nounced that he was willing to ac cept the action of the council, ap proving the project. City Commissioner Towl arose and offered a resolution, which called a special meeting to be held in the council chambertnext Thursday morning. Mr. Breen turned red. He could not understand how his little coup had been forestalled, until Mayor Smith explained how it happened. "One of Mr. Breen's clients told me Wednesday that' Mr. Breen in tended to allow the council to pro ceed with approval of this project and then to enjoin the improvement on. the grounds that the council did not hold a special meeting as re quired by law," the mayor said. Mr. Breen retired from the coun cil chamber with as much grace as the circumstances would permit, while members of the council and others present enjoyed the humor of the situation.
