Board to Decide
Today What to
Do With Graham

The disposition of N. NJ. Graham,
former superintendent of the South
Omaha schools, will be discussed this
afternoon at a meeting of the teachers
committee of the Board of Education.
In this connection the committee also
will consider principals for the Central
High school. High School of Commerce
and South Side High school
The members differ on the Graham
matter. Some believe Mr.. Graham should
be cared for during the year remaining
of his South Omaha contract, but just
where to place him is the question. One
suggestion is that he be made assistant
for Superintendent Graft. The general
opinion seems to be that capable educa-
tors should be secured for the two Omaha
high schools.

LIGHT COMPANY TO
REDUCE THE RATES
Will Make Reduction No Matter
What the Outcome of Conference
with Officials.
LOWER THAN DAHLMAN BILL

Along the lines of the infor-
nation first printed by The Bee,
conference or no conference,
mediation or no mediation, the
Omaha Electric Light and Power
company proposes to wait for none
Of these, but will go ahead and offer
a reduced rate schedule to the pub
lie very shortly, and while officials
cannot be induced to say much about
it, ii is limited that 1t will be effec-
tive for the July bill. Thus while
the Commercial club special commit
tee appointed to mediate difference
between the city council and the cleo
trio light company, is getting ready
to mediate them, the company is go
ing ahead Independently with a
schedule of reduced rates.
1. B. zimnan, contract agent of the
company, when asked concerning the
matter said Il really don't know any
thing about It"
General Harries president of the cleo
thiV hBht CVhlFdnyf knOWb ali dDoul IT.
but he is not talking much. When he
does talk, he talks on subjects foreign to
electric light rates.
Reduction Proposed.
Anyway, the new rate voluntarily pro-
posed by the company. will cost the con-
sumer for lighting purposes cents per
kiiowat hour for the first twenty five
kilowats, and bk cents for the rext 125.
Then It will cost 4 cents per kilowat
for the pext 1900 kilowats, and CORES
ponding reductions per kilowat will be
made for greater amounts.
1T was hard for Us to understand"
said General Harries, how the other
rate proposed some time ago could have
aroused such universal protest when we
were voluntarily cutting down our gross
income some $So.OOO a year. To say the
least 1t was looking a gift horse in the
mouth"
The present proposed rate, 1t is said,
will reduce the oompany's income some
$4,000 per year. The secondary rate
now proposed for per kilowat for cur
rent above twenty-five kilowats and not
above $50 kilowats is to be a half cent
per kilowat lower than the secondary
rate proposed in Mayor Dahlman's ordi-
nance iii the spring. 1t was found at
the time the Dahlman ordinance was up
for discussion that in some instances the
proposed change would really increase a
consumers hill rather than REFUGE it. 1t
is said that the proposed new rate sched-
ule will cure this situation.
