City Officials Do
Not Like the New
Public Service Bill
Assert it Will Take the Right Of
Granting Franchises Away
from City.

II the bill giving public service corpora
tons in Nebraska indeterminate licenses
and putting these matters in the hands Of
the State Railway commission Is passed,
the city of Omaha will have no more to
say about franchises in this city than a
man in Oshkosh, according to Assistant
City Attorney I. ]. Dunn.
The bill was introduced into the senate
by Senator Alberts and is known as senate
file No 12S The bill provides that all pub
lie service corporations shall be given in
determinate licenses and gives these regula-
lions in the hands Of the state Railway
commission" said Mr. Dunn.
This means that franchises may be
granted in Omaha to public service cor
porations by the commission without the
city council or people having a say in the
matter.
''rhis commission, under this act, can do
as It pleases. II can grant franchises in
Omaha, from which the city viii not de-
rive one cent OF revenue. That will be a
fine state of affairs The purposes of this
bill are too obvious"
A campaign against the passage of the
bill will be started by Omaha officials. The
bill is being closely studied by City Attorney
Rine. who will make suggestions for It's
defeat as soon as ne has studied It's
phases.

prevent this deterioration.
The report says that Notwithstanding pro-
tests Omaha finds 1t must pay more than
$4,000 for the water plant in South Omaha.
The Water board wishes 20 guard the city
in ali ways possible. Now that it appears
that the South Omaha city council has

might seriously affect the water plant In

roadbed.
The first car which went over, day

was crushed upon the rocky bed. 1t
landed upon its side and few of the
occupants escaped death or serious In
jury. The following car plunged head
first into the chasm and with the for
ward end resting in the creek stood
balanced almost perpendicularly.
