Though the water company. through its

ordinance forcing the water company 20

nous vote by the city council Saturday
morning at an adjourned meeting.
While laying the Burt street sewer the
city requested the water company TO raise
the water main. but the company refused.
Suit was instituted in the district court
where the company won. Later it was APP
pealed to the supreme court. and that body
held that the notice to the company was
Irregular in that 1t came from the city
engineer. instead OF the city council. To
remedy tho defect an ordinance directing
the raising OF the main was introduced in
the council and the officials of the water
company were granted a hearing.
Rose contended that the company should
opot be forced to raise the main, saying
that the change would handicap the water
company in serving patrons. lie stated
that the principal water supply to Omaha
was furnished through this main and that
service would have TO be discontinued until
the change was completed. He also sad
that the expense would ultimately have to
be borne by the city, as the water com
pany was operating the plant as trustee
for the city. He suggested that the sewer
could be changed In construction at this
point to meet the conditions.
City Engineer George Craig opposed the
changing Of the sewer. as q would cost as
much. II not more. to make It, than to raise
the main about two feet. AS to whether the
city would have TO bear the expense, he
eontended that Il was immaterial. In that
