Fixing the Royalties to BE
Paid the city.

That a company has been organized and
sufficient money subscribed to operate an
electric light and power company in Omaha
was admitted by Councilman Funkhouser
Friday morning. MIR. Funkhouser states
that a franchise, which VIII be asked of
the city council has been drawn and save
for few details accepted by the promoters
of the new company
A conference among the promoters and
Funkhouser Is slated for Monday, when
the promoters Will give definite decision
on the provisions of the franchise, over
which a difference exists. In the event
that a satisfactory agreement Is reached
the petition for a franchise will be made
to the council Tuesday night.
The franchise which the company seeks
has been drawn by Funkhouser on sugges-
tons made by l j. Dunn, former assistant
city attorney.
Among other things 1t provides for a
twenty-five year grant, reduction in
rates and a concession in the amount of
electricity consumed before the minimum
rate is charged. 1t also provides that con
sumers OF like amount Of electricity must
be given the same rate irrespective of loca-
tion. and makes 1t Imperative that the
rates be published and placed on file
SO far, however, Funkhouser and the
promoters have been unable to get to-
gether on the amount to be paid for the
privilege. The promoters want the occu-
patton tax eliminated and suggest a sliding
scale of royalties instead. They suggest
that a royalty Of either or 8 per cent be
charged at first and the royalty increased
as the business increases. At the end of
ten years, the promoters have agreed to
