STILL HOPE FOR A COMPROMISE
Gas Company May Go to the Courts for
Settlement.
DISCREPANCY In THE BILLS
Gas Company Admits It's Present BiII
~ for More Than a Expects 60
ReRIfzc-Dispute over the
Value Of Service.

Though the committee Of the whole OF
the CITY council rejected both bills Of the
omaha Gas comuany for street lighting at
IL It's meeting Monday afternoon members
Of the council have hopes OF compromise.
While IL is believed that both bills are
entirely too high-one calls for $4,000 and
the other S212OOJ-and that the difference
between the estimate Of the gas Inspector
Or. Charles Crowley and the company is
too wide for immediate settlement, hopes
for compromise are not entirely shat
tered.
Following the rejection OF the two bills.
there are two courses left open for the gas
company. one is the submission Of new
bin and the other is an appeal to the
circuit court The company viii not submit
a new bill according to Councilman shell
don. chairman Of the committee on light
ing
Rather than submit a new claim. il is
said, the company prefers to take a chance
in the courts. However the city council
can make a tender OF settlement and that
is what II will do. As chairman OF the
lighting committee Mr.. Sheldon says he will
suggest that tender be made to the com
pany, which it can accept or reject
There Is no question that the city is
indebted TO the gas company for street
lighting for a period of five years" said
Mr. sheldon, NO one denies this. The only
| question now to be considered Is what is
a reasonable compensation for the services
This must be determined either by compro,
mise or by legal action. / do not favor
/ going into the courts II It can be avoided
] Though the councilmen are unanimous In
! their opinions that compromise should bt
! effected a difference exists as to tn,
amount which should be allowed.
| Councilmen Lee Bridges and McGoverr
are in favor of making tender to the gs,
/ company, taking $22 a lamp as the basis
| This figure is reached by taking the mini
mum estimate $50, and the maximum es
innate, S24. submitted by Mr.. Crowley, and
/ striking an average.
Twenty-Five dollars will be about right
according TO Mr.. Bridges. and he will vot,
for such resolution. Councilman McGov
ern will also support such a resolution
he says.
Councilman Sheldon, however. thinks
these figures trifle too low. He does no
believe that the payment of $40 LAM
would give the company reasonable com
pensation, yet he says he will vote 70
such a resolution If it is offered.
Neither of the three, however, will intro
duce such a resolution.

G.. E. HaverStick is
Elected Chairman of

Commercial Club Rewards Man Prom
inently Identified in Its I'm

George e. Haverstick Of the United
States National bank received the coveted
office of chairman of the Commercial club
in the annual election by the board of di-
rectors at noon Tuesday. Just as has
been the custom for some time the for
mer chairman was elected president, the
office this time falling to David Cole.
The other officers elected were John
Steel, treasurer; w. r. Wood, secretary,
and G. NJ. Guild, commissioner. The re-
election of Mr. Guild as commissioner came
merely as a matter of form and as an en-
dorsement of his services in the past, as
the constitution of the club does not re-
quire the election of a commissioner from
ear to year.
