Hon A. G. Lambe. Of Wellington, a
member Of the Kansas commission
to look after Kansas interests at the
Omaha Exposition, was in our city on
Monday and yesterday. His trip here
was for the purpose Of ascertainIng how
much Barber county will contribute
toward raising the necessary fund to
give Kansas a creditable exhibit. Ac-
cordlng to population this county's
quota is $183. Mr.. Lambe informs US
that the legislature at its next session
will without doubt make special ap-
preparation to reimburse the various
counties which make the donations
the same was done for the Worlds
Fair. He has visited quite a number of
counties and all responded literally and
there is but little doubt that Barber
will be ready to do her part when the
matter is presented to the commission
ers. Kansas cannot afford to be low
number at the Exposition and it is safe
to say that such will not be the case.

MORE TIME GRANTED
ELECTRIC COMPANIES BEFORE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
CITY THE ONE THAT'S BEHIND
Three Months Time Needed to Get Fire
Alarm Wires Underground Then
All Poles Must Be Down

Representatives of the various electric
companies in the city appeared before the
board Of public works yesterday and ar
gued for second extension of time In
which to comply with the provisions of the
conduit ordinance by getting their poles
down and their wires underground. 1t de-
veloped that the city itself would probably
be somewhat slow In getting its fire alarm
wires into the conduits, and as City Elec-
trician Francis was not present the board,
after listening to the statements of the
various representatives, took the matter
under advisement until they can learn ex-
actly how much more time will be neces-
sary in order that all work shall be COM
pleted.
An extension will undoubtedly be grant
ed, but the board wishes this time to make
sure of giving sufficient period for all the
work to be completed and then permit no
more delay in the matter
Superintendent c. w. Hlnchcliffe of the
Sunset Telephone and Telegraph company
stated to the board that his company has
all of its underground wonk done and all
poles down except those which carry the
city's fire alarm wires; that the company

The board of fire commissioners met yes

fore the commission was the question OF
