LIGHTS FOR YEAR AT A LOSS
Such IS the Assertion Made by Gen.
eral Manager Holdrege.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THURSDAY
'ommtssiOners Desire 20 Get the
Views of the PubIic on Desir-
ability of Entering Into
the Contract.

That lights would be furnished to the
city for year at an actual loss under
the proposed five-year contract was as
serted by General Manager II. A. Hold
rege Of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company before the city commits
sion.
President f. A. Nash OF the electric
lighting company said he had been light
ing the streets OF Omaha for twenty
years at cost
General Manager Holdrege said the
Mazda lamps proposed for installation
under the contract would cost 1861 each
per year, exclusive Of overhead charges,
which is S.S per year more than the
proposed contract price.
Under the contract, which Is to be
prepared by the city legal department
and submitted 10 the council at a public
meeting at the city hall on the evening
of Thursday, May 2S, it is proposed 10
install the new lights gradually, increas-
ing their number from 100 the first year
to 2,1OO the fifth year. This is the ar.
rangement made because the city could
not pay for 2lOO lights next year.
Changes in Contract.
~ tnt meeting OF the city commission
changes to be made in the contract were
discussed and several suggestions were
made Councilman Thomas McGovern
suggested that bids for street lighting be
advertised for.
"Or let r. Beecher Howell do It," sug-
gested President Nash.
Assistant City Attorney w. c. Lambert
was Instructed to incorporate into the
contract clause specifying that In case
the city decided to install a plant of
its own the contract would be terni.
mated. Attorneys for the lighting COM
pany and Mr.. Nash objected to this. They
objected to any reference in the contract
to municipality owned plant
Commissioner Dan B. Butler suggested
that fifty or more lamps be installed for
experimental purposes to find out IL they
gave as good light and if they were sat
isfactory to the people. This suggestion
was opposed by the lighting company
representatives, who said the company
would keep the lights burning and live
