HeatdeH Lighting OtNy Turns OaHh into

HASTINGS, Neb.. April 17.-(Special)-
The municipal electric lighting plant, which
was installed early in 1901, has been sue
cessful beyond expectations. The report
Of the city clerk shows that its receipts
during its five years of operation, up TO
April 1. were over $4,000 more than its
disbursements. Not only has the plant
more than paid its current expenses. but
it has also given the city street lighting
which would have cost many thousands of
dollars.
The plant supplies seventy-six street arc
lamps For this service the city formerly
paid a private enterprise s. per lamp per
month, of 1929 a year. At this rate the
street lamps would have cost the city dur
ing the 1--WE years over $4,000. Through the
operation of the municipal plant the city
has not only saved the $4,000 which It
would have paid to a private plant, but
has also made a profit on domestic bust
ness of $4,000 The total cost of installa-
ton with all permanent improvements up
to April 1 was $7O90l.
Since the gambling institutions and other
disreputable resorts were banished the po-
lice business Of the city has diminished
several hundred per cent. In 1901 approx
mately $500 was collected in police court
fines and costs. Since that year the reve-
nues of the police court have steadily de-
creased, being only A95.7O last year.

maintained with a 30-mill levy on a valua-
ton of 81, 4SS,S34, producing $4,000.

LINCOLN, April L. 49, (special) - Land
Commissioner Eaton returned last night
from a trip out in the state where he went
to lease school lands. He visited Cherry
Rock. Holt, Brown. Sheridan, Dawes and
Sioux counties, leasing in all some 5000
acres of land at an average price of N.O
an acre. On this trip the land commits
soner succeeded in leasing every acre of
land owned by the school fund in these
counties, the first time on record this has
been accomplished. The price at which the
land is leased is also about four times as
high rs in former years. Considerable
school land is now leased for 10 cents an
acre, but it is safe to predict this will never
occur again owing to the largely increased
value of the land. Considerable compeu-
ton developed when Mr.. Eaton began leas-
ing the land and a majority Of those who
secured leases were homesteaders who set
