Under the latter they ran under ,Oi IH.IMIO. The city adopted a "norma! theory," arriving at the value of the plant by a complex estimate of tin average cost of each item over a 10-vc.ir period ending with l(lf. Officials Seem Pleased. The i'.is company oincials seemed pleased at the decision of the board of condemnation. It is said the gas company is more than willing to dispose of the plant if it can get a fait ly good price. Electricity, it is said, has made inroads on the gas business in the last few years. Y. II. llerdnian, attorney for tin gas company; and V. h. Domhirt, representing the I'nitcd ias Im provement lM Philadelphia, present owner of the Omaha lias Co., were present when the decision was given. (otporatiou Counsel Lambert was the sole representative of the city present when the decision was given. The cost of the expert witnesses emnlovcd by the t'ty in the case was SlO'll; and of the gas company's expert witm --is, stol-l If the city takes over the plant it liuist pay all these cost- Nnoth.er SlK'niif! will have to be added to thr price for the cost of stocks of raw matenals and other inventories on hand, if the city buys the plant. "High," Says Mayor. If the city takei the plant it must take it as of June, 1918. A plan will have to be worked out, the city probably paying interest on the pur chase price from that date and the gas company turning over to the city the profits during that period. "It I pretty high," was the com ment of Mayor Smith when told of the report of the condemnation court. "1 believe that fi, 500,000 to $.1,000,000 would have been high enough." The mavor would not venture a guess on the prospective action of the city council in accepting or re jecting the mi. ling of the court. On a 'previous occasion the mayor said: "If the court allows anv go ing value we won't take the plant." Reports Purchase of Bread , Found to Be Under Weight A loaf of bread bearing a wrapper which read "Over -1 ounces," and weigh-ng 17'- ounces, was brought yeste-.'.y by F A. m;th. fAl Bran reis 'llua'er building, to J. Y. Long, city inspector ot weights and measures. Mr. Smith explained that he paid 15 cents for th lii and he asked that a complaint he tiled in the po lice com t against the baker. Mr. Long stated that the deference be tween the actual weight and the weight imheate 1 on the wrapper constituted a violation of law. R. Oleson to Direct Music At Omaha Automobile Show R.
