The goverament surely should take some interest in tax on their whisky was about a mil- lion and » half dollars. The trouble from water below the bridge could be remodied very esslly. There were two or threo ways to sccomplish this. the work hitherto and it had been a great help to all the river industries. The current does not atrike in belew the bridge, and a bank of earth would do at that point. If the chaunel is deepened it will take away the sand bars both aboveand below the city, which cauee much of the rise at_this point. Mach more business could be done by river if a front were bu 1t and steamers could land. & M. Gray said the work would have to be done under the supervision of Major Sator, who is government en- gineer over all this territory and noth- ing could be done withaut his approv- al.” Before going very far it would be best to have an moderstanding with Mz, Thrall said that the bank below had been cut away by the late flood and the channel was in better shape than ever before. Mr. Davis, engineer in charge of the work at this city, said that all of themoney would be expended under Masjor Sator, who had a representa- tive in Mr. Pesse at Council Bluffs. The latter would doubtless be willing to confer at any time with the citizsns of Omaha as o the best methods ot protection. The present channel was better for steamers than it had heretofore been, s it was nearly at right anglos with the bridge. The shore now was in shape to be e tected and held permanently. The Union Pacific company's_protection put in in 1877 was a good one. The bed rock varies from thirty-two feet down, to alittle less at the pumping house. With small expense a front can be put in tc last permanently. In reply to questions by Col. Chase, Mr. Davis said that $30,000 had been expended in 1878, and $50,000 1n 1879, The last appropriation of £30,000 had not been used. Of the amount experded oaly $35,000 had bBenl it t‘)'l; this side, but this was partlally owing to the fact that ever bend in the Misonri was governed I:; the two bends above, and oftentimes farther, #0 that to maki m. mh::;& l;l'o ‘:-inhin the w t ecessary to begin up as far as Florence.

After afew minutes conversation, the meet- ing was called to order by the vice president of the board of trade, who sunounced that President Boyd was He stated the object of the meeting and Invited Senator VanWyck to take asess,on'the platform. When the senator accepted the lavltation he wes greeted with a The chalrman, after a few forther romarks, calied upon Mr. Webster to define the object of the meetlng more fully and give the meeting what ideas 'hat gen- tleman responded by saying that he was wholly uninformed as to the amount appropriated by congress for farther work on the river, but under- stoed that it was about £40,000. The secretary of the board probably knew Secretary Allen stated that he had The meet- ing was called at the suggestion of the citizans to make the acquantance of the senator and_telk over the matter which was of so much interest to all —a future_protection to property on City Englneer Androw Rosewater, was called for by Mr. Broatch, and said that he had no further informa- tion than that possessed by many others. The proposed bullding of a river front was under the suthority of the government and it was improbable that the government would allow any one to dictate what should be done. It was nggostad to builda dyke. 1t for it to connect the U. P. line with the Saratoga Bluffs. A high bank rapped would probably do all that could be expect- ed. It could not beexpected thereby to control the chanuel but a perma. nent river front could bs built from this, which woald allow an outlev for Mr. Horbach eaid that river front from the water works to Boyd's pack- ing house would {nvolve an outlay of 1t was not probable that congress would make an approp:i- ation for the city, but one doubtless could be obtalned to improve the river chaunel. Certaln improvements on the other elde now talked of would douttless] throw all of the wator wd involve great , if no river iront An appro- pristion by congress was the desired thing, and the application should be made carly, as it is understood that the people of Council Blaffs would endeavor to obtain one also. By hav- ing tho requests for appropriation in together, au agreement could doubt- less ba arrived at with the cltizens on Mr. Burnham sald that it was de- slrable, if not abeolutely necessary, that something be done to save the on theriver bottoms. Tais is the verdlct of s1lf business men and Incommon with all indus- tries there situated, the Union Pacific company is convinced that it must protect itself or remove from that lc- cation. A removal need not be im- mediate, butit would come, and how it would effect the city he did not feel suthorized to say. This matter of overflow and damage from the water s- elon and much correspondence with eastern officials of the company, The company has expended about §100,000 hitherto in protecting its property,and was willing to expend more if a guar- sntee of ssfety could be obtained. Two things were to be considered— the washing of the channel and the If the washing of the channel can be prevented by a rip-rap haps an overflow can be prevented As far as money is con- cerned ,$100,000 will not be nearly enongh, and what the government would give would only be an addition ed by the city and property whers. Mr. Stephen Tler said that the dis- tillery company had just got over a the matter as it had more at stake than the company did. The yearly ‘The Union Pacific had done most of of the work done at this point useless. There is no detailed plan by the gov- ernment engineers, but a general plan to protect these river industries. the river, Omsha hasn't had her shace of the money expended.

We look to the senator for helpin this ‘matter. going to make him flike us before wo get through with him. Judge Hawes said that it had been suggested that a committee bs ap- polated to take such steps as might by necessary, confer with Senator Van Wyck and with the secretary of war In regard to this matter. It is said that there should be a protection from Sulphar Springs dlagonally to where the river bends and from there to the packing hous In forder to protect the city against such floods as we have had It would require at least $150,000 The city cannot stand this; the government can. This state pays into the mnational tressury yearly 2,000,000, which is mach more than it draws out, and the United States can sfford to extend aid. There ought to be a committee of gentlemen interested in pretecting the river front, who could manage this matter. Everyone here knows how affalrs of this kind are legislated through con- gress. Nebraska, with her single con- greesman, can hardly hope to n a sufficiently large appropriatf8 in the house, but in the senate, when the bill reaches; there, both our senators can obtain an amendment without trouble, which will bring the appro- priation to its proper amouat. Ouar seaators should be backed with a pe- tition to present on that occasion, and acommittee ehould be appolnted to get up such a petition and take what other action they deem proper. Senator Vao Wyck arose and was greeted with applause. He sald that he need not express the pleasure it af- forded him to thus be able to meet so many of his friends snd the citizens of Omaha upon an occasion which was of the importauce of tho present o The objact of this meeting con- cerned both the city, the state and the country. Many of the questions brought forward there had been an- swered heretofore by congress, in its legislation regarding the channels of great rivers. These rivers belonged to and were controlied by the . general government, and thelr waters could not even be spanned by a bridge with- out its consent. A grest deal of money had been expended in digeing out channels of rivers which contained but little water, and Jtbe government would not hesitate to clear the chan- nel cf a great thoroughfare of com. merce like the one which flowed past this olty. But not only hae the attentlon of thecongressof the United States been turned toward the valae of our river #s a channel of commerce, but also has the necessity of action in this matter been emphsizsd by the recert calam- ity, disaster to people and destruction of property. Ineel not say that I will render most cheerfully all the aid 1 can to the enterprises and welfarc of this city as well as to the state, of which th and s destined to be the great motropolls, (applause) and I as- sure you I have very mear to my heart the welfare of your citizens, and the safety of those great interests which are_situated on the river bot- toms, subjectto the fary of the fl>ods. 1 apprehend, also, that neither Major Sutor nor the secretary of war, nor any member of congress or govern- ment official wil hesitate to expend any money which may be needed for this purpose and to heed the advice of those who reside in this locality and best know the necessities of your clty and the state. No one, In congress or out, who has read of these great disasters will Ees- itate to give a reasonabls amouat of money. The expenditarenow should ba based upon a plan broad enough to build 80 that senee of eecurity msy bo felt by owners of property. An other thing is the matter of com- merce. Why may we mot open a channel to the sea whereby all boals from the northwest may have a froe courss! The government is now clearing all channels of its great rivers to provide for the vast stores that are pouring from the golden harve of the west, and even the great state of New York fs making its water courses free to give an outlet. It is tho duty of the gov- ernment to open the channels and take advantage of the great river course here provided. Pablic atten- tion at this time is being drawn to this matter, both by the neceesitles of commerce and the recent calami- ing to the fact that it will be neces- sary to both protect the inhebi- tants of this state, and to provide a water course to the sea. In con- clusion I need mot say- that I am with you in all measures to procure the needed appropriatlon and provide for the protection of yoar olty, Judze Hawer moved the appoint- ment-of a committee and suggested the names of about twenty gentlemen on that committee. Mr. Broatch suggested that a smaller committee would be more effective, and et the same time sald that the names_of several gentlemen had been omitted who should especially be members of it. Mr. E. Rosewater said that it seem- ed to him that the object of the meeting had been perverted. H un- derstood that there was about $50,000 of the money appropriated by the government yet unexpended, and it was now the opportune time to obtaln that moneyand devote it 1o the in- terests of Omaha. It sppearcd thata large percentage of the smount hith- erto used had bsen expended on the other side of the river without any visible improvement. The appoint- ment of a committee was unnecessary as no additional sppropriation could be obtalned before December next. ‘What was needed now was to get the money slready sporopriated and use it. He was skeptical in regard to the government rip-rap. In his oplnion fc bad not been tbuilt preperly. The Unton Pacific rip-rap was built in a durable manner, but that con- structed by the government engineers had falled to stand the test. The mouey appropristed and unused shonld be obtained and, togsther with what could and would be ad- vauced by thoss haviog -lnterests on the river bottoms, applied to the con- straction of such protection ss would went further disastera this year. ‘hen the board of trade could call a meetiog and a committee be = pointed to secure a patition for an ad- ditional appropriation, or the board could itzelf take such action in the ‘matter as was thought beat. Mr. Rosewater's remsrks were greeted with applause. Judge Hawes further romarked that he had moved the appointment of acommittee, upon the suggestion of aroond him who were interested in property slong the river, and stated that all money ap- propristed in 1879, which had 1ot ol.

Mr. Bartlett, who had made & mo- tion that the committeo be appointed | by the chair, withdrew his motion. Secretary Allen said that it was suggested that sometime in the sum- mer a convention of representatives from all the northwestern states be called to assemble at Omahasnd dis- cass the whole question of Mistourl river transportation.
