Charter Meeting
is Not Held-Rine
Could Not Attend
Meeting to Be Held Later to Consider
Recommendation from the
Commercial Club.

A conference between a committee from
the Commercial club and the trainers OF
the bill for the charter revision went
wrong Monday morning because City At
torney Rine was absent from his office.
The meeting was scheduled for 10 and
Mayor Dahlman and Councilman Berka,
two Of the original trainers of the bill
were present, as the Commercial
clubs committee. But AIR. Tline was busy
I'm court and could not attend the meeting.
Consequently. the conference was post
poned.
The Commercial clubs committee wished
to discuss certain provisions in the new
charter At a recent meeting Of the commit
tee on municipal affairs Of the club, ii was
decided to recommend amendments for the
provisions. regarding the collection and
disposal OF garbage and the opening and
closing OF the polls at general and special
elections. The committee also wanted en-
lightenment on other provisions.
Objections to the provision creating
new lighting fund, and that which gives
the city council power to create special
lighting districts within the city have
arisen in various sections.
Some who do not object to increasing the
fund do object to the manner in which
special districts may be created. The pro-
posed charter gives the council absolute
power TO act
II has been suggested that a check should
be put on the city council in the matter
OF establishing these districts to this eX-
tent-that the property owners should
have a right 10 say whether they want a
lighting district and whether they are
willing to pay one-half OF the cost of
maintenance.
Under the proposed bill the council can
order lighting districts In any section,
Irrespective Of the citizens, and assess one
half OF the cost OF maintenance.
| TO remedy this, 1t has been suggested
! that certain boundaries which would take
in the downtown district, the council be
empowered 10 create lighting district, but
without this district lighting district
should be created only on petition from
property owners.

Middle West Gets
a Grand Soaking
Farmers Are Happy Over Precipita-
ton, Which Gives Them What
They Needed.

Considered from an agricultural view
point, the precipitation of rain, snow and
sleet Saturday and Sunday is the grandest
thing that has happened in the west for
months" declared Forecaster l.. A. Welsh
Monday. The area of precipitation was
general throughout all the, western and
middle states and is rapidly extending to
the east, with ralnfalls as far south as
Tennessee.
Practically the entire west has been
benefited and Nebraska got its full share
Of the precipitation, though 1t did not re-
ceive as much as some of the states In the
northwest. In the north and northwest
parts Of Nebraska there was heavy fall
OF snow The storm area did not go as far
south as the farmers would have had IT,,
Oklahoma and parts Of western Kansas
missing the precipitation entirely.
Reports today from the east tell OF
snow and rain over a wide territory ex,
tending from the lake regions. where snow
is falling, to Tennessee where there is a
precipitation OF rain. The storm center
this morning radated from Peoria ard
northern Illinois. Ohio and other states to
the east are getting plenty Of moisture.
The area Of low pressure is rapidly moving
east"
The barometer at the local station just
now has a slight tendency upward, though
II is reported that another area OF low
pressure Is following closely upon the one
which passed over Saturday and Sunday
In the meantime. however, there viii be
some fair weather, but more storms seem
to be coming

CITY PREPARES FOR
DECEMBER ELECTION

Tomorrow morning at the city hall
John HALEY, Jr., will open the regis
tration books for city voters in pre-
paration for the municipal election
which will be held on the first Mon
day in December. He was recon-
mended to the council last night as
re registration clerk by Mayor Murphy
and duly appointed.
The election which is to be held
promises to be a warm one as there
are number of positions to be filled,
and it IS possible that a number of
il itiative measures will be placed up
on the ballot. The officers whose
terms expire and whose places must
be filled either by their own re-elec-
ton or by a new choice are Mayor
Murphy, Councilmen Strable, Strain,
Dyer, Montgomery and kirkpatrick,
and Water Commissioner Moore. Some
of these men will undoubtedly be can
didates for reelection but several in
Guiding Mayor Murphy and Council
man Montgomery, it is understood,
will retire from public life.
