Against City of Omaha for
Over 100000

ST PAUL, Mimi, May u.-CSpecial Tele-
gram THE Omaha Water company won
victory In the hydrant rentals case
against the the city Of Omaha. in the cir
cult court OF appeals in an opinion which
affirms the decision OF Judge T. c. Munger
giving the compan Judgment for over $780,
900 for the rental Jt hydrants.
The case was originally tried before
Judge W. II. Munger, who found for the
city. The case was appealed and the cir
cult court Of appeals reversed the lower
court and ordered a retrial. Judge T. c..
Munger heard the case the second time
and gave judgment to the Water company
for the amount claimed. This decision is
now affirmed.
The same questions are involved in sew
eral other cases.
The circuit court is upheld in holding
that at the second trial there was not suf-
ficient evidence for the consideration OF
the jury that the water company had.
under facts conceded to exist. failed in
substantially performing its obligations
under the ordinance contracts.
The court says that without restatng
the opinions of the lower court or men,
tioning additional evidence received, when
the case was appealed before 1t is suffi-
Client to say it thinks the circuit court was
right. The proof was, says the court, that
the water company had substantially per-
formed it's contract and there was no sub
stantial evidence to the contrary.

definitely postponing the four other hydrant
rental cases now pending in the United
States circuit court at Omaha. All Of
these cases are for approximately $4,000
each. The sixth of these cases was filed
