PRONPTNESS GO RESULTS.
RESTORATION OF SERVICE DUE
TO QUICK ACTION.
ON PART OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
Norfolk Can Thank the Commercial
Club for Restoration Of Daily Freight
Service on Union Pacific" Says One
Of the Railroad Commissioners.

Norfolk can thank the Commercial
club of that city for the restoration Of
daily freight service on the Norfolk.
Columbus branch of the Union Pacific.
Ii was the prompt action of the Nor
folk club which accomplished this"
This statement was made in Lincoln
by one of the state railroad commits
sioners at this weeks hearing on the
protests against the tri-weekly freight
order of the Union Pacific.
1t will be remembered that the mat
ter was brought before the Norfolk
directors the day after the objection
able order was issued, President A. j.
Durland of the club succeeding in get.
ting Norfolk's objections before the
commissioners and the Union Pacific
officials within twenty-four hours Of
the time the order reached Norfolk.
This prompt and determined action
made an impression.
The Norfolk men who attended the
Lincoln hearing did not understand
that the commission intended to order
the restoration of complete service on
all the Union Pacific branch lines.
They think that when the order Is
issued Monday it will probably affect
only the Norfolk and Osceola lines.
Norfolk was represented at the hear.
ing by President A. j. Durand of the
Commercial club, by w. II. Brakeman
and by G. w. Landers, Mr.. Landers
being summoned by the commission
in his capacity as Union Pacific agent
| in Norfolk. The delegation found on
their arrival in Lincoln that Norfolk
had already been taken care of and
| that the prompt action of the club,
coupled with the fact that both Nor.
folk and Humphrey are competitive
points, had protected the city.
Columbus, Albion, Spalding and sew
eral other towns were represented
about fifteen delegates being present
About dozen Union Pacific men
were at the hearing. The company
said that it had acted along the line
of retrenchment in it's order touching
the branch lines of the state. The
feeling at the meeting was said to be
| friendly.

70 PUMP By ELECTRICITY
COUNCIL RECEIVES PROPOSITION
FROM e. A. BULLOCK,
cHHAPEN THE COST OF PUMPING

Proposition Which II Accepted VIII
Save Cost OF Installing New Ma
chlnery at Station and Do the Work
Cheaper Than II is Being Done.
Guaranteeing n saving Of more than
5000 year In operating expenses and
opening way to avoid the expenses
of new equipment at the city water
station, the Norfolk Electric Light &
Power company, through e. a. Bullock
president, has made the city council
a proposition to pump the city water
cheaper than 1t is said to be pumped
now.
The proposition of the electric light
company came before the city council
last evening. II was not altogether
unexpected as the matter had been
recently taken up informally with Mr..
Bullock. The project involves the
substitution of electricity for steam
power at the water station. The
council took no action in the matter
but referred the proposition to a com
mittee which will be named in day
or so by Mayor Durland.
The electric light companys prop
osition is; That they will pump the
city's water, keep the standpipe with
in twenty feet of being full, furnish a
new pump and electric motor and keep
one steam boiler and the big pump
ready in case of accident, all for $3.50
month"; that in case the city furn.
ishes the new pump they will furnish
the service for $40 month; that in
case the city furnish both pump and
the motor the charge would be slGC
or, If desired, five cents thousand
gallons of water pumped. The prop
osition provides that the city is &c
maintain its present water rules and
that for new consumers 1t would pay
five cents thousand gallons register
ed by the meters.
Mr.. Bullock appeared before the
council. He said that his proposition
was based ON a six year contract ant
that 1t contemplated charging the city
what its annual pumping station eX
penses had been for the last seven
years, excluding the wages paid en-
gineer at the station. Mr. Bullock SAID
that the city had the best end of the
proposition because coal had risen 8
dollar in the last three years and thai
more water would be used on account
of the new sewers.
The proposition is for furnishing the
power and the labor at the station ant
maintaining the present pumping
station, including all items of expense
for maintaining and operating eXcep
repairs and insurance on buildings.
The city councilmen say that the!
intend to go thoroughly into the merits
of the proposal. The expenses o
operating the pumping station have
been increasing this year and it ha'
also been claimed that a considerable
part of the water plant machinery will
have to be replaced in a short time.
