ROYALTIES MAKE INCREASE
Three Thousand Dollars More to City
This Year, Outside of Inde-
pendent Telephone,

over $4,000 will be paid into the city
treasury by the Omaha Gas company and
the Omaha Electric Light and Power com
pany in royalties on their gross earnings
for 1908 Friday. This is an increase of over
5000 in royalties over the preceding year.
To this $4,000 must be added the royalties
OF the Independent Telephone company,
the schedule of which has not as yet been
made up by the company officials, but
which will be done within a few days, ac-
cording to information given out at the
company's headquarters.
The gas and electric light companies COM
pleted their schedules Thursday and will
certify to them before the city comptroller
Friday, when the money will be paid into
the city treasury. The gas company will
pay nearly twice the amount of royalty as
the electric light company. the increase Of
the former being over s.. 900 and Of the lat
ter nearly $1,000. The gas company pays
8 cents per thousand on all gas used in the
city by private consumers, while the cleo
trio light company pays 8 per cent of its
gross earnings on private business in the
city.
Tn amount OF royalties to be paid by the
Omaha Gas company this year is $26,b71.3
Last year II paid S24, AZ. SO. Since It has
been paying the city a royalty on its gross
earnings the gain has been steady. Royal
ties have been paid by the gas company
since 1887.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power
company will pay the city s14, $3.50 in roy
atty on Its gross earnings for 1903, as
against $40, ass. 80 on it's earnings during 1907.
The Independent Telephone company will
pay a royalty this year for the first time.
The Independent Telephone company, the
Omaha Gas company and the Omaha Elec-
trio Light and Power company are the
only three public service corporations in
the city which pay royalties.

MEETING OBLIGATIONS THE THING
Attorney for Chicago Company Says
Mission L. to secure Arrange
ment with New Telephone
People Here.

THE Automatic Electric company Is at
work aBcertainlng the condition Of the In
dependent Telephone company and what
that company can do in the matter of its
obligations. There is every likelihood an
arrangement satisfactory to both parties
will be reached, but this arrangement will
be quite definite. A statement on the mat
ter will be given out when n conclusion Ia
reached"
Albert e. Wilson. attorney for the Auto
matte company made this statement Thurs
day morning in further explanation OF the
visit here Of himself and Sanford Harris. a
director of the Chicago company. Mr.. Har-
ris affirmed Wilson's pronouncement.
Putting the situation in other language,
the Automatic company is willing that the
Independent company shall take It by the
hand and lead it, but is insistent on know
ing whittier 1t Is to be led. Extensions of
notes held by the Automatic company will,
for instance, be granted, but this will be
done when an explicit understanding Is
reached as to what will happen when the
renewal time has elapsed. Wilson further
intimated that negotiations to this end are
in satisfactory progress.
Good Physical Condition.
The Independent company is a big prop
osltion," he declared, land is in first-class
physical condition A million dollars was
spent in building 1t and there has been
practically no depreciation. Its Increase in
the number OF phones since the reduction
in rates has been surprising to US, and I
fancy even to the officers OF the company.
This is one most encouraging sign for flu
ture success"
The books of the Independent company
were examined Thursday by the Automatic
officials in company with General Managed
Matthews and President Stowe. T. +. e.

and Wilson have themselves made an ex-
animation of this and are enthusiastic over
the way the plant was built and Its present
condition.
1t Is expected that the Investigations ana
conferences will last until Saturday, when
a statement will be issued by the Auto
matio company.
