the heating plants which were in the
cellars are being concentrated into one
main heating plant.
There are at present forty patients
from northern Nebraska in the Lin
coin hospital, who came originally from
this hospital and were transferred to
Lincoln at the time of the fire. There
never has been enough room here for
the return of those forty patients to
their own hospital. Their families
want them he-e, that they may visit
them more easily.
The institution now has capacity
for $50 patients. The natural rate Of
increase would bring 140 more above
the sixty to leave in the next two
years and this, with the forty brought
back from Lincoln, would make 400
by the time the next legislature meets.
Lincoln has asked for a new building,
but DR.. Young contends that if the
forty from Lincoln are returned. the
claim of Lincoln for a new building
will be invalidated.

Interurban Bill.

H. r. No. l, by Lee of Douglas, and
S. F. No. 25, by Thomas of Douglas
to permit street railway companies to
own stock in and to connect with in
terurban railroad companies. occupied
the attention of the house railroad and
the senate judiciary committee yes
terday The bill was championed by
c. W. Wattles of Omaha, who ap-
peared before both committees. The
senate committee decided at once that
the measure was worthy of passage
and after amending ii to make sure
that only street railway companies in
corporated under the laws of Nebraska
should have advantage OF its pro-
visions recommended it for passage.
The house committee had held one
session on the measure before and in
vted the gentlemen interested to ap-
pear last night and explain IL. Mr..
Wattles said the bill was simply TO
simplify relations existing between the
two classes OF companies and 10 per-
nit interurban companies tn enter
cities without going TO the trouble of
securing an individual right OF way.
II was purely business matter and
Mr. Wattles thought meritorious

provision that lntcrurhan companies

sion. arriving az no decision VA regard
