Why Isn't the U, P. Living Up to Its Part of the Contract? The Scheme By Which the Ordinance Was Hastily Run Through the Municipal Mill—- A Bee's Sting. To the Editor of Trr Bee, When the old council gave to the Union Pacific, as & present, Union av- onue, which had already cost this city between £7,000 and £8,000, the ordin- ance expresly spocified that the com. pany should run fts trains between Broadway and Omaha every half hour. That _they would do this, and meet all other requiremonts of the contract, the Nonpareil, the orgen of that corporation editor, Mr. Chapman, to whose influence and shrewd work the passage of the gift ordinance is in measure due. When the council was about to lay the ordnance over until ally an opportunity to investigate what may be legitimately called a corporation steal, Mr, Chapman arcse in the meet- ing and eloquently and cutely urged the “great importance” of investigation, and succeeded in having the ordinance passed that very night, beforo many citizens knew it was before that august body of municipal protectors of people’s rights and property. He assured the council that the Union Pacific had to have the avenue in order to shut off some opposi- tion scheme of the Northwestern com- pany, and that if the passage was delayed until another meeting. Maryin F.Hughitt and other C.&N.W.ofticials would be promptly informed of such ac- tion and would endeavor to ‘‘block the ame,” 1n other words, he was afraid the game of himself and the U. P, would be shut off by the Northwestern and tax payers of this city in tho event the scheme to get the avenue as a pres- ent got out before the ordinance was finally read and the titleagreed to. If the U, P. had to have the avenue, why didn’t its authorized spokesman, the late editor of its mouth-piece, guarantee that the company would pay what it had cost this city? But as to carrying out the company's part of the contract, it isa well known fact that they never put on a half hour trains, and in going to Omaha passongers were always compelled to lay at the transfer fifteen minutes. And. recontly the company took off one of the dummy trains, thus bringing the thing back toits old original standpoint, and this one wrain leaves Omaha on the even hours, and this side on the half-hours. It has also taken off the 12 noon train from both sides. Where is this contract, and is it not now null and void, by reason of a failure of the company to' comply with its part of that agreement ? In all busi- ness transactions between men or corpo- rations of honor. a contract becomes void if either fails to comply, and can be so declared by either party to the same, The official organ of the compa- ny should endeavor to bring the company to a realization of Its duty in place ot fili- ing its columns with abuse of the board of trade and Congressman Pusey because cheaper facilities for communication be- tween the two cities (and thanks to Mr, Pusey I see his bill has passed the house, Chapman’s opposition to the contrary.) 1 see by the Sunday’s Nonpareil that it treats the Bee as ‘‘the Omaha paper whose interests here are only to destro Council Bluffsand all her institutions,” otc. 1 thought the Nompareil always claimed that the Bee had noinfluence for geed or evil in this city. Its little whiue Sunday does not look as though it still retains that brilliant idea. But perhaps it didn’t mean the Bre, I think it got lightly turns to thoughts of love,” the poet says, but it is very evident that his fancy does not turn to thoughts of mar-|; riage, for Clerk Street has notbeen called oa for a licenso for nearly a week, Among new papers recently added to the Y.

There are now over forty-five running horses at the Driving Park and Secretary Thomas Bowman is daily in receipt of new entries.

With a paid city attorney, a special paving committee, and an expensive common icil, if such a blunder was permitted it is about time to turn out the old, and turn in some new oflicers. Perhaps it would be well in the future to have the city attorney draw up the contracts, instead of leaving it to the attorney of the outside parties, who was at the same time attorney for the U. P. stroet railway. The attorney for the U. P, road drew up the contract, giving Union avenue to that corporation for certain considera- tions, which considerations it is now discovered cannot be enforced. Theattorneyfor Regan Bros. McGorrisk and for the U. P. street railway drew up the contract for paving and now it is dis- cavered that the city has no contract with any one to pave the streets between the car track,or within 12 inches each side of the track.
