(U .E .)— The right of a maaicl-
pallty to enter retail business ia
direct price competition with p r i
vately owned companies w ill be
fought out before the Nebraska
supreme court thia week.
Lincoln, which has enjoyed
lower retoil gasoline prices than
any other city In the country for
the past two years as a result
of the municipality owned gaso
line filling station, will defend
its constitutional right to Re

A Surprise

So changed were the floors
that Mrs. Spurting, back
from • w eek’s visit to the
city, could hardly believe
it was her own house. Jim
had had Frank Lovejoy,
the painter, get busy with
Acme Quality Floor Paint
and Varnish. ' The floors
were refinished and beau
tified. In fact, all the Wood
work smiled a welconfe.
And Mrs. S. said if a week
and a little Acme Quality
could make such a differ
ence, she’d go away again
and a s/ come back fo r a

to meet the competing , price
Whereas gasoline form erly sold
for about 23 to 23 cents a gal

17 to 18 cento a gallon. This
price is said to be lower than

A t the earns time the voters
of Lincoln voted to open gaso
