CHAPTER XIII
THE PROGRESS OF LINCOLN AND HER UTILITIES
In point of years the City of Lincoln may be said to be in her infancy, but in point of experience, growth, municipal improvements and efficient government the city compares favorably with the eastern cities settled scores of years before the commissioners located the capital here in '67. In the Agents' Bulletin, a Mis- souri Pacific Iron Mountain publication, of May, 1915, appears the following :
"As the capital of a young but fast growing state, Lincoln at once became the mecca for hundreds of ambitious young persons, and within a few years founda- tions had been laid for an enduring civic structure. Railroads backed by home and foreign capital sprang into being as if by a magician's wand, and where one already within the state's borders showed signs of hesitating about reaching across the prairies to the new metropolis, the people offered large subsidies or proceeded to build connecting lines themselves. Out of this welter of little and poorly built roads there have been evolved five great modern railroads which serve the city, forming arteries of trade which bring vast commercial territories within the reach of her business men.
"Early in her life as a city, Lincoln developed into a jobbing center, and as the state increased in population, as the railroads were extended and as agricul- ture multiplied, this form of commerce, linked with manufacturing in dozens of lines, became a dominant factor in her growth. As the capital the city became and remains the political center of the state. The University of Nebraska fol- lowed shortly after the selection of Lincoln as the capital and its growth has run far and fast ahead of that of the state itself, as individual wealth piled up and the belief in a strong educational system grew. The dominance of agriculture as the great business of the state early led to the founding close to the city of a giant agricultural college and school, where hundreds of boys from the farm are taught everything there is to know about their business. To insure the stability of its educational institutions a large part of the agricultural domain was early set aside as school, university and agricultural lands. From sales and rentals a fund, invested in bonds and amounting now to $10,000,000, has been collected and there yet remain thousands of acres as the inheritance of the educational system of the state.
"The Lincoln of 1870 numbered a thousand or two souls, clustered about a combination business and residence district, that was less than a mile square. Today the city proper has an area of eight square miles, and within five miles of the postoffice 65,000 people live and labor. The one-story frame store buildings with flaring fronts of pioneer days have been replaced with modern business blocks, ranging in height to ten stories, equipped with all modern devices for com-

fort and dispatch and filled with merchandise of quality and worth. The poorly equipped cottage of the pioneer has vanished and in its place are found the bungalow, the fine residence and the palatial mansion. There are no rookeries where the shiftless and the unlucky seek refuge, no district where vice and crime are given quasi-license to flourish and to prey. The Lincoln of today enjoys a prosperity so well distributed that it is equally as well famed for the absence of Knob Hill palaces as it is for the absence of slums."
Within the area of the City of Lincoln there are approximately seventy miles of brick and asphalt paved streets, sixty-five miles of street railways, and ninety-five miles of sewerage. The water and light plants are municipally owned and commercial lighting has given the light consumer the lowest possible rates in a city of this size. The street railway system of the city is well organized and no quarter of the town is more than fifteen minutes from the "hub."
