LIGHTING FUND ON THREAD
Hangs on DsliOate Uncertainty Of Tech
nisal Law Point
SUTTON LOOKED TO FOR A DECISION
Question is, Has City Right to An
tieipRte rs Basis of Com

ties Paid In.
SUTTON LOOKED TO FOR A DECISION

The street lighting OF Omaha hangs In
the balance on law point now up to
Judge Sutton Of the district court for de-
cision In the gas contract injunction case,
which went over until Tuesday. when
called yesterday morning.
The point is whether or not the city has
the right to anticipate as a basis for max
ing lighting contracts the annual royalties
paid by the gas and electric light COM
panies. Under the old and new charters
authority is given for adding the royalty
proceeds to the lighting fund In the past
the current royalties, which are never paid
until early in the following year, have been
used to offset current bills, the lighting
companies holding back the bills for the
last three months Of the year so as to
even up accounts.
Small Amount Left.
According TO the showing of the comp
troller, only S21s remained in the lighting
fund available September 20. The ques-
ton was raised as to the right or power
of the council TO go on contracting lighting
indebtedness in the face OF the strict pro-
visions of the new charter against buying
when there is not money in the treasury
to pay.
Mayor Moores said that unless he was
assured he had no legal right to do so he
would veto all lighting bills for the re-
mainder of the year. II 1t came to a pass
where all street lamps were extinguished
and the citizens left unprotected at the
hands of criminals, with less than one-half
of the usual police force to cover the city,
the mayor said the blame and RESPONSE
bility would rest with the lawmakers.
City Attorney Breeu takes an optimistic
view Of the situation. He says he is con-
ndent the city has the right TO anticipate
the royalties in making contracts and run
ming up lighting bills and believes the
courts will so decide. He points out that
in reality the net indebtedness in the light
ing bills at the end Of the year is covered
by the lighting fund, because the city has
the difference coming to It from the light
ing companies
what Royalties Come To.
Last year the royalties amounted to about
$4,000. Information received from the gas
and electric fight companies this week is
to the effect that the combined royalties
this year already assure 5000 more than
last year. with this rate Of increase the
chances for a deficiency In the lighting
fund are diminished.
''It would be little short Of a calamity II
the street lamps had to be dispensed with
for the remainder of the year" said City
Attorney Breen. ~ am hopeful that things
will not come to that pass. The lighting
bills are really payable yearly and not
monthly and this is favorable toward the
view that the current years royalties can
be computed in and tigured as part OF the
lighting fund for that year. At present I
see no cause for alarm"
