THE OMAHA DAILY AMORTGAGE ONTHE COUNCIL, It is Held by the Oity Hall Arch- itects. PECULIAR BUSINESS METHODS. The Architect roaded Throu tention Busine Claime are Rail- While Puablic At- 19 Distracted—-What s Men Think of it 1t Looks Bad. Tecent events clearly show that the city hall architects have & mortgage ‘on the city council, and that they have commenced fore- closure proceedings on the finance commt- tee. ‘When the city ball plans were solicited, the couneil committes on buildings and property was directed 1o invite proposals from local architecis only. They did so and after a lengthy examination of plans and oharts the council awarded the contract for the city hall puans to Fowler & Beindorfl. There was thon and still remains a general feeling among architec s that the matter was oot conducted in a fair and square manner, and that the committee hy some hocus-pocus had worked the contract for the parties to whom 1t was awarded. Bo that as it may, a contraet with Fowler & Beindorft was made. But strange as it may seemn, the contract contained no provision as 0 the umount of fees to be paid to the archi- tects or the munner of paying them. The architects were simply bound to the fixed limit of the cost of the city hall building. At that time it was expected, of course, that the plans would be ready, so that the basement would be finished this fall, but in that the public was disuppointed. ‘The mat- ter dragged along for wecks ana weeks, and it was curreatly revorted that the plans had n prepanred by m second rate eastern architect and revised by the home firm to fill the long-felt want. Then came the letling of the contract to Mr. Coots for the superstructure of the building, which calls for an expenditure of $213,000. Mr. Coots had scarcely got through pulling up the foundations laid by Brennan & Regan, when lo and behold, an appropria- tion was sandwiched among the city appro- vriation bills to the tune of $12,075 3 ment in full to the arcbitects for the city hall pluns, the total estimated cost of which is given at 8345, ‘I'ho following is a copy of the repory of the council committee to whom the architects' bill wus referred: “Omana, Neb, Nov. b6.—Mr. President: Your commitiee to whom was referred the account of Messrs. Fowler .and Beindorff, have examined same and recommend that the sum of §12,015 be allowed in full of said account, being 84 ver cent upon $345,000 the estimnate of said architects Gpon the cost of said building avd in accorcance with the rules of the American Institute of Archi- tects. . “DaxNiern H, WHEELRR, “C. L. CHAFFEE, “Adorted Nov, 7, 1859, ITHARD, City Clerk.” This report, it will be seen, was rushed through on the night of election when public attention was looking in snother direction. Hence nobody noticed this extraordinary allowanco and the matter was quietly ex- pedited. The mayor approved the appropriu- tion, although it is stated he was asked to withold his approval of this very questionable transactiou. No soonor bad this business been approved by the muyor than on comes Mr. Wheeler, chairmuu of the finauce commitiee, with the following official request on the comptroller: “Omana, Neb, Nov. 13.—C. 8. Goodrich, Esq., Lomplmller Omuha, Neb.—Dear Sir: Will you plense issue a warrant for 3,000, in favor of Fowler & Beindorff, architects, on account ? “‘Ihey will witbin thirty days complete the inside drawings (a small part only beiog wundone), and then you will issue warrant for the bulauce, $4,095, allowed by the coun- cil. Yours truly, Daxier, H, WaerLe, * Chairman Finance Committee,” On its face this request bears the stamp of arregularity. Comptroller Goodrich has not yet issued the warrant, as he thinks there is some “error in the matter, and wunts to have it straightened out before the money is paid over to the architects. The warrant was drawn on the city hall fund, which now amounts to $107.859. A reporter iterviewed a number of lead- ing archivects and owners of large buildings relutive to the method usually employed in “the puyment of such commissions, In the flrfiplm the fees of the architects are reguluted by the National Architects’ as- soviation, and are fixed at b per cont of the estimated cost of the building for which pluns are made. The custom among archi- tocts is to collect 3¢ per cent, half of the commission, when the plans are completed and the balance as the work progresses, balf of the commission being due on the drawings ®ad the other half on the superindendence of the construction. In this cuse the council has oraered 8} per cent of tho cost of the building paid to the architects before the work on the building has been fairly com- menced. ‘Ihe cnstom among architect who erect large business blocks and public buildings is to charge 8i§ per ceut for their plans and specifications, including the detail of every class of work from foundation up to the fin- ish, and 11§ per cent for superintendence ‘where architects anvhln a_superintendent, In most, it not all cases, the architects do Dok et moro thau | por cent when they are ady to begin building and they are paid as Ihs uilding progresses. The former city council, which made the contract with Mo}url for his city ball plans, agreed to vay him #5,000 after the building was compieted. The vlun of paying the architect's fogs in installments has been carried out by the ‘county commissioners in the construction of tho court hourt house and the county ho - pital. In both cases, small puyments were made when the plans were adopted, and the balance us tho work progressed, The county hospital is almost completed, and there is - still aue Mr, Meyer, the architect, about a thousand dollars. e urphy, of the Mer~ bank u{ President lfillll'l Nation: “I have al- , in dealing with nom the as l.ha work progreased. ing wo paid the mhlucu -bonl one-tiird of their commission when the plans were ap- proved, and the balance from ume to time until the work was completed." ent Herman Kountze, of the First National bank said he did not pay Men- delssobn, Fisher & Lawrie, the architects on the bank building, any vart of their feu‘ either for plans or -umm.endehm. until of the work had compieted.

The officers of the Omaha Street Railway company admit that the Twenty-second and ‘Twenty-fifth street motor line does not even pay the wages of the motormen and con- ductors on the line, to say nothing of the ‘wear and tear of cars. and other equipments and the waste of motive power. Its aban- donment is probably the matter of ouly a fow weeks. The failure of the line is at- tributed to the fact that it is paralleled by the North Twenty-fourth street motor line d the T wentieth street cable line, both of which furnish better service. The ‘street car line runnlnglo Creigbton college is also said to be a deaa weight. ‘The trolley wire on the Sherman avenue and South Bixteenth street moator iine to South Omaha is now in position aud the only work now remaining u is the fastening of the wire to Lthe insulated cups on the cross wires.

UNDER WHICH COURT ? A Little Darling Buffeted by Conten d- ing Attorneys. Both the law and equity branches of the United States court have finally sottled down to routino business, and they are dis- posing of cases at a “rapid rate and keep everybody in motion. While Jadge Brewer listened to exhiaustive arguments in the Woolworth-Root land suit, Judge Dundy cailed his docket, heard p ro- port from the grand jury and disposed of several unimportant motions. Two rather interesting matters marked the forenoon session. One was Judge Brewer's decision in the Eveline Miller habeas corvus case, brought before him on an appeal from Judge Dundy's final ruling last soring. Ho made it very orief, the substance being a denial of the petition. “This remands the cause to the district court, where it originated. After Judge Brewer had announced his decision, Mr. Lambert- son, attorney for defendant, Burrus, went before Judge Dundy ana raised the question that tho United Stites court had no jurisdic- tion 1n the cuse, He claimed that this little girl, Eveliue Miller, is not, under the con- troversy for possession of her, in any subject to the dictates of a singlo pro in the federal statates.

DO TUEY WANT T0 UNLOAD? | Mysterious Doinga of the Sioux City Stcek Men, A SOUTH OMAHA THEORY. ¥rantic Efforts of the Prohibition Packers to Control the Trade and ‘iben Dump Their Industries, Is It a Conspiracy? South Omaha packers und commission men are not a little surprised at the la ceipts and packiogs at Sioux Cily this sea- son compared with last year's work at that ceuter, und the number of hogs marketed this season, Those familiar with the situa- tion are ‘quite firm in thew conviction that there is something out of the ordinary busi- ness ifluences to cause the present anoina- lous condition of afful Said one of the leading commission men and one of the shrewdest and best informed men on this market: ‘‘Lherc is some- thing singularly wrong, It just looks to us as il the Sioux City people were unx- ious vo unjoad their wholeouutit, stock yards, packing houses and ‘all, and, to force a blanket sale, are joining together to bring the matket into its present anomolous condi- tion. Whut makes us think so is this: South Omaha has been known as one of the best markets, if not the very best stock market in tha country, and to-day our market is bet- ter thuan any compatitor, Why, on Tuesday ivwas frou 5 cents to 7i¢ cents botter on nogs tnan Sioux Ci cents better thun Kansas City and nearly all the time it 18 within 10 ceats or 15 cents of Chicago, while it costs 32 cents to ship hogs to Chi- cago, and yet Sioux City, neither having the rairoad faciliies nor stock in adjacent tributary territory, is receiving us much and is pucking more than we are. Wo know that in many cases hogs have heen bought and as much puaid for them in the country as they were sold for on the Sioux City market, A lot of hogs bought ut #3.60 by Sioux City agents at St. Paul, were sold at Sioux City at that, figure.
