FAIRFIELD REPLIES TO BOARD
Holds City Has Bought Plant, but
that IL COnnot Change
Rates.

by election on the part Of the city
and by decision Of the courts, the city OF
Omaha has bought the works plant
Of the Omaha Water company and must
complete the purchase by paying the price
fixed by the Board Of Appraisers. In view
Of this fact, the twenty-five-year contract,
which otherwise would have expired on
September 4, 1905, is continual until such
time as the purchase OF the plant by the
city is completed. The contract specified
that the rental of hydrants was to be a GER
tain amount during twenty-five years or
until the city bought the plant, which Il
was privileged to do at the expiration of
twenty years. This the city has done (the
paying down of the purchase price being all
that remains to complete the transaction
and on account of this the price fixed in
the contract continues until the purchase
money is paid"
E. M. Fairfield, general manager Of the
Omaha Water company, in this way ex-
plains the contention of his mpan in
that the Water board can take no action
regarding the changing Of the water rates
until the city completes the purchase of
the plant, which he holds the supreme
court, as have the lower courts, will order
done. Mr.. Fairfield contends that the cleo
ton to purchase n~ullifies the twenty-five
year contract and extends the price agreed
upon for hydrant rentals until the city
actually comes into possession of the plant,
constituting the clause In the contract, which
specifies that che city could buy after
twetny years to mean that the rates shall
remain the same until the purchase is
made.
But even though my contention that the
hydrant rentals can not be changed should
not be upheld by the courts, it still re-
mains that the Water board can not change
the rates for consumers" continued Mr.
Fairfield. There is nothing in the con-
tract specifying the consumers rates OF
limiting at a termination of these rates al
the expiration Of twenty-five years, other
than that the rates to consumers shall moi
be in excess of a certain maximum. This
maximum was fixed in the franchise and
the board has nothing to do with the fixing
of the rates. The water company fixes the
rates to consumers at a figure under the
maximum and these rates continue as Ions
as the water company remains in posses.
sion of the plant
TT is simply idiotic for the Water board
to maintain that it has the right to ordel
the removal from the streets of the maini
and hydrants of the water company. II
law, the mains and hydrants belong to tn,
city (the city having elected to purchase
and the owner of a property would not b,
apt to wantonly destroy his W property.
Mr.. Fairfield said that Saturday mornin,
he wired to President Woodbury. and Gen
eral Counsel Mansfield the action Of tn
Water board of Friday night, but that h,
did not know whether the president an,
general counsel would return to Omaha L
be present at the meeting called for Sep

TRAMP DIES IN AMBULANCE
Man Found in Syndicate Park Expires
on the Way to Doctors
Once. q

A tramp was discovered in Syndicate
park, South Omaha, Saturday noon by a
party of picnickers. the fellow seeming to
be in the throes of a fit of some kind. The
police were at once notified and the patrol
wagon sent after him, but he died while
being taken to a doctors office. The body
was removed to the undertaking office of
Heafey & Heafey where a thorough search
Of the mans clothing failed to produce
anything whatsoever that could be used
to indentify him. He seemed to be about
% years of age. An autopsy has not been
held, but the doctors tend to the theory
that the man died from ptomaine poisoning
or had taken an overdose of cocaine.

which will not make the pocket too
long. The pocket must, of course, be
just as long as the motif of the design.
The materials needed are three pieces
Of cardboard about nine inches long.
The length, however. depends upon the
design of the paper which is to be
used. The cardboard is just the
length of the design. The three card.
boards are of graduated depths. They
are straight on three sides, and on the
top they are cut In the shape of the
design Of the paper. Sometimes the
top line is straight and rounding, and
again 1t will have large scallops. A
design should not be chosen which has
too small a pattern.
All of the cardbOards are covered OH
the outside with the bordered paper
and inside with plain Grape paper.
Perforations are made at equal dis,
tances In the three pieces along the
bottom and sides. The perforations
along the bottom are close enough to.
gether to permit of the sections of the
pocket being laced together. Only
three holes are necessary along the
sides. Ribbon the color of the flower
in the border is used to lace the sec.
lions together and fastened at the ends

the latter, explained blue prints that

PAPER CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
How to Make Attractive Desk BIottera
and Wall Pockets.


and Wall Pockets.
Make your Christmas presents OF pa
per. One of the most attractive of
these paper articles is a desk blotter.
The usual size for woman is eighteen
inches deep by. fifteen wide. The mate
rails necessary are one piece of card
board of the dimensions mentioned and
a second piece half an inch less in each
dimension. The pad is covered with
lowered paper on the lower side and
has Powered paper corners. Plain
Grape paper is used to cover the top of
the pad.
The largest of the cardboard rectan-
giles is first covered with the Powered
paper. The paper is folded over the
edge to considerable depth, at least
an inch and a half being desirable. Its
edges are then pasted neatly down,
care being taken to make neat corners.
The smaller cardboard rectangle is COW
cred with the plain Grape paper, which.
for instance, may be yellow if a yellow
Powered paper is being used. Four
right angled triangles which are three
inches on the two even sides are then
cut from stiff and very heavy wrap
ping paper and covered on one side
with plain and on the other with flow
cred paper. These are the four corners.
When they are covered a margin Of
paper is left on the equal sides, and
this is REINFORCED by a narrow strip of
muslin. This margin is turned over and
pasted to the upper side of the card
board, which is to form the bottom of
the pad. The upper part of the pad is
then laid on the lower part, and they
are pasted neatly together. The cor
ners, of course, go underneath the pad
corners. The pad corners are not past
ed down along their long side, as it is
desirable to have them free SO that
new blotters may be slipped in and out
at will.
A wall pocket Of paper may be made
which contains three pockets. For this
purpose the bordered Grape paper
which comes In rolls may be used, or
you may select paper napkins whose
borders are In the form Of garlands,
