- / Y - have OWNERSHIP OF EAST OMAHA, A Movement to Hava the Question Decided by Congress. SENATOR MANDERSON'S BRIDGE DEMAND. He Says Omaha Wants No More Wagon Bridges and That the New ilrldge Must Accom- modate Railroads. Tho opposition that has been shown in cer- tain quarters to the passage of the interstate bridge bill, now pending in congress, has awakened a lively fnterest in the measure, The chief objection to the hill, as stated by 1ts opponents, is the uncertainty that is al- to exist concerming the boundary be- n Towa and Nebraska, which is now in dispute in the United St upreme court On this subject a prominent business man whohas no direst intercst in the matter one way or the other, said yesterday morning: here is no remson for the ob- il'(li'm made that both ends of the bridize, if located as proposed, would be in 1owa. *The question of boundary is now in dispute. If tho suryey of 1853 is held by the suprene court to be the boundary it would take a large slico of the present Kast Omaha land company’s property and add it to Towa. Tt would not effect the focation of the bridge, ywever, as even under the old survey the st end of the proposed structure would reston Nebraska soil,” Theve is a movement on foot among business nien to take prompt action for the settiement of this controversy It is proposed to make a formal attempt to the taxes on the property in the dis puted territory paid into the Omaha city treasury. Thers is another plan for the settloment of the boundary question, This contemplates the addition to the inter-state bridge bill of a clanso defining the boundary lne between Towa and Nebraska at the prosent channel of the river, and thus effcctually put an end to the present dispute and tako the matter from the supreme court. Senator Manderson's Demand. “The following letter has been received from Senator Manderson on the subject of the new bri States SeNaTE, WAsHINGTON, D. H. H. Meday, Esq., Manager of H. Hammond Packing Company, Neb.—Dear Sir: Your telegram tho low bridge charter for the In- bridge company at Fast Omaha is Omalia, concerni tersta recelved, I huve introduced a bill for this purpose, and it is now with the commitice on com- merce. The difficulty with the situation is, that the engineers’ department of the United States army earnestly oppose the building of a low bridge in our vicinity. The opposition, 1 think, is rathier an absurd_one, for I do not belie such a bridge would interfere with what little navigation there ison the Mis- souri river at Omaha, Still it is an opposi- tion extrer difticult to overcome. 1 will certainly do what Ican to pass the bill in form that it may do us good. I oppose the building of another wagon bridge; what ‘we want is a roilroad bridge, The bill in- troduced by Mr. Reed of lowa in the house permits a wagon bridge, anda I will never ive my consent to the passage of a bill for a ow bridgo that will not absolutely require that it shall be & combined railroad and wagon bridge. The wholo stato of Nebraska fs interested in this subject, and it is more ’ important than any other to the interests of # Omaha. Since I have been o the United States senate, I have been instrumental in the granting of several bridge chartors, but the difficulty is that they are never allowed to materialize into a railrond bridge that will id us of the monopoly that has been such an fncubus upon our commerce. Omuha could have well afforded, years ago, to have built @ bridge that should have been free from the vassage of the trains of every rond that had a termious on either side of the Missouri river. I hopo to get this bill through, but if I do not, it will be because of the opposition of the engineers, and those interested in per- mitting high bridges along our border, or the opposition of thoso who, for purely sel- fish reasons, oppose the assage of the tralns of all roads un- embarrassed by outrageous and unrea- sonable demands, across the Missour: river at or near the city of Omaha, To the aumerous other persons at Omaba and Lincoln who have telographed me concerning this char 1 have simply writte ying that I w what I could for the passage of the bill. I have hercin explained the situation more fully to von than to anyone else. You are P vilegged to exhibit this letter to anyoue in- rested in the subject, Truly Yours, s I, MANDERSON, ridge Question. ] vrs, Jan. 25.—To the Editor of Tur Bru: Some comment was caused yesterday by an article in Tre Bk of last Baturday, contributed by a man who signed himself “Taxpayer.) It was calculated to raiso objections to the Interstate bridge scheme which is now awaiting the action of congress, Awong other things the writer said: “Already the Interstate bmidge company has caused the white lead works to remove {ts works to the cast bank of the river. It is said, moreover, that if the bridgo bill passos congress, immediate steps will beot once taken toward the location of the freight yards in the Bluffs, thereby seriously crip- Pling Omaha’s commerce.” This article is in_direct line with a resolu- tion which was offered at the last meeting of = Omaha’s real estato exchange. Indeed, somo think that both emanated from the same source. The resolution read as follows: “Wherens, Some of our officials and many of our peopie have committed themselves in favor of the East Omuha bridge charter, and, whereas, later dovelopments have awakened new opinions: therefore, be it Resolved, That oursenators and representa- tives In congress be requested to hold the wholo subject matter at least two wecks, until we can all fairly consider the conditions in- volved The passage of the resolution was asked for on tho ground that the bridge began and ended in Council Bluffs, and was therefore in reality an lowa institution. It was lost by a vote of 13 to 3 when it came to a vote, “In spite of the fact that it was lost," sald & prominent attorney of the city last evening, “‘the mere fact of its beiug under conside; tion at all shows that thero is a disposition Rmong certain Omaha capitalists to plap Council Blufs and her interests In the face at every opportanity. “If the bridge bogins and,ends on Towa soil, what right has Nebraska to meddie with the business at alli To say the least, it shows a very narrow-miaded spirit for these people to scek to injuro Council Blyffs by blocking roceedings in the way they httempted. +0f course it isan open seeret. that Couneil 1uffs is going to reap the lion's share of the henefit of this bridwe. That belug the case, §t is our business to take some action at once, and notify our representatives in congress Dot to allow a postponement of the matter on poy ground, but to push it to a completion Buring the present sessiou by all means,’ ToLL Gare, A potition 1s now being circulated among the citizens of Council Bluffs asking the sen- Btors and representatives to pass the bill which is now beforo them @utboriing the gonstruction of the bridge. The House Eill, v Bre yesterday published & copy of Benator Manderson's Interstate bridge bill as Jt was reported by the senate commerce com- Imittee. The house committeo has also sub- itted the following report on the house ridgo bill: Mr. Mason, from the committes on com- - & merce, submitted the following report: “The'committee on commerce, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 13071) authorizing tho construction of & draw street railway, otor, wagon and pedestrian bridge over the issouri river near Omabia, Neb., report as ollows : At the present time there are existing be- n Omaha, Neb.,, and Council Bluffs, la., ut two bridges, one of which is used exclu- ely asa rallway bridge, the other as a ptreet railroad and wagcn bridge. ‘Tho demands of eommerce require,and fair \;\v‘np\-utlau makes It necessary, that new and additional facilities be furnished to the numerous railroads centering at Omaha and Council Bluffs for crossing the Missouri river at availaole polnts between said cities. It is the purpose of this bill, with the amendments herewith proposed, to provide such facilitios At the prosent time the right of certaln railroads to cross, with their trains, the pros- ent existing bridge is denied, and_travel and commerce is thereby delayed and Interru pted.

With the restrictions and requirements contained in the bill, the use and nayl of theriver by boats or rafis is amply sufciently provided for.

Very respectfully youe obedient servant, T1oMAS LINCOLN CASEY, Brigadier General, Chief of Enginecrs, Hox. Reveiewn Procton, Secretary of Wer. Mr. Thurston on the Bond Quoestion. Mr. Thurston, upon being asked why he had not appeared in the injunction case brought by Stuht and Howe against tho Union depot company to restrain the issue of bonds, said: “The directors of the Union Pac been in doubt as (o the proper course to pur- sue. There wus a strong feeling that the company could better afford to give up the city bonds than to bind itself, under tho terms of the ordinance, to permit all lowa roads to have access to the depot grounds and to cross the Missouri river bridgeon the terms set forth in the ordi- nance; and it was especially felt that the provision requiring the Union Pacific to sub- mit to arbitration the question of compensa- tion for use of tho bridge and of the depot was unfairto the company. Notwithstand- ing this fecliag, the company has at all times stood ready to perform both the letter a the spirit of its obligation. The viaduct was constructed, the depot was commenced, work was being pushed on it rapidly, and the bonds of the Union Paciile and the devot company had been propared, oxecated and approved, as to form, by the city attorney. If there’ has been or'is to be any breach of faith in this matter it will come from the city and not from the com- pany. To show the company’s good faith, it is only necessary to say that the executive committee of the Union Pacific, at its meot- ing in New York on Friday last, p assed the following resolution : “Resolved, That it Is the polley of the Unl Pacific company allow all rallroad co les the use of ‘the bridge over the Missouri river at Omaha and the approaches thereto, and also the use of the union pussenger depot ut Omaha, on equal and equitable terms, the same to all ipanies. “I will bo_frank wich you in this matter and say that if the city of Omaba desires to back out and take the responsibility of the failure of the union depot scheme, the Union Pacifio has nothing to say. It is not asking any favor. It is keeping its faith, and if there is any breach of compact it will come from the action of the city or the citizons and not from any action of the Union Pacific company. “It has been publicly charged that the re- fusal of the Union Pacific to permit the per- formance of the contracts with the Mil- waukee and Rock Tsland roads is a refusal to to comply with the terms of the ordinance lotting other roads across H}d bridge with their passenger trains, Such is not the case. Both of thoso contracts give to the Lowa com: n an- vanies notonly the use of the bridee and’ depot grounds, but of ten miles of the main line, and a large portion of the terminal facilities, for all their passenger and froight business, Even this would not have been objected to particularly, but the contract of lease was for the term of 999 years, without any provision for termination or increase of rental in ac- cordance with the dovelopment of tho busi- noss and the value of the leased promises. The fact of it is, that if the contracts with the Milwaukee and Rock Island roads are held good it will bo impossible for the Union Pacitlo to lot other roads across the bridgo witbout the consent of both the Milwaukeo and Rock Island companies, “Judge Dillon has written me that in his opinion *if these contracts stand they are an obstacle to the policy of free and equal use of the bridge by all companies, since tio Rock Islund and Milwaukeo companics_will have to be consulted as well as the Union Pacitic.” *It would be folly for the Union Pacific to 0 on with the construction of the union pas- senger depot in Omaha unless the use of such dopot was to be shared by all the Towa roads, Tho rental to be paid by those roads 1s ali there is in the scheme out of which to pay interest onj the plant. The Union Pacific] sinoo the trouble commenced with the hzli waukeo road, offered w let its passen, trains and thoss of the Rook Island road {nto Omaha on just and_roasonablo torms. That ofter still holds good, snd the Union Pacifio 18 ready 1o lot the trains of all the Lowa roads come across the bridge into Omaba for fair and reasonable compensation. ““An affidavit showing the above action of the executive committes will be filed in the injunction case now pending before Judge Doano; and the question of abrogating the contract will be left with the city of Omaha and its people to determine as thoy see fit. If tha people of this city do not wish the union depot schome to go ahead, it will be no hardship, so far as the Union Pacific is con- corned to have it abandoned. In my judg- ment it would bo money in its pocket to ~hold its aepot grounds for its own uso and retain the exclusivo operation of its own bridge. It is now for the people of this city to say whether or not they insist upon its doing so.” THE COMMISSIONERS. perts Report Only Minor Defects in the Hospital Plumbing. After several ineffectual efforts to got enough members present to hold a frequently adjourned meeting of the county commis- sioner board, Chairman O'Keeffe finally suc- coeded yesterday under a rule that he made on Saturday, namely, to enforce a postpone- ment whenever a quorum was not present within ten minutes after 2 o'clock. The full board was present and eonsiderable routine business was done. Quarterly reports of the county judge and clerk were read and placed on file. The re- port of the clerk appeared in Tik Ber last week, That of the county judge shows ro- coipts amounting to $152.10 aud the expendi- tures $435.2), leaving a baiance of $16.9) 0 n hand, A number of small bills were ordered placed on the appropriation sheet and paid, A report of fiues and trial fees collected by Frank 2. Moores. clerk of the district court, during the auarter ending December 31, 1390, stowed 30 of fines and $153 in_trial fees col lected, giving a total of $183, which amount he has paid into the county ‘treasury. Anupplication from Dr, McManigal for the position of county physic ferred to the committee on ch 3 County Treasurer Snyder filed a request for an increase of salaries of his clerks as follows : Thomas F. O'Brien, from $1,500 to to $2,100: W. Scharick, from §1,500 to $1,500; E. T. Shelby, from $1,200 to $1,500; George Anthes, from $1,200 to #1,500. The request was referred to the committee on finance. The report of the experts appointed to ex- amine the plumbing and steam heating ap- paratus in the new county building said in effect that everything wus all right, with a few minor exceptions. It was referred to the committee on construction. A report of the finance committee favora- blo to allowing the deputy county clerk $1,200 instead of §1,000 was approved. D. W. Cannon was appointed constable of Elkhorn precinct A resolution was adopted placing 84,000 in- surance on the furniture in the new county lospital. The value of the furniture is placed between 7,000 and £5,000. Mr. Berlin introduced the following set of resolutions ‘Whereas, T. A. Megeath was, on Novem- ber 8, 1887, elocted to the office of register of deeds within and for Douglas county, Ne- braska, and was 1nstalled in said office on Januw 1888, for the term of two years, beginning on said last named dato; and Whi , During his incumbency of said termm of two years in the said ofice of register ounty, Nebraska, the h, by virtie of his said of- ed the sum of §7,603.90 in fees ov and above and fn excess of the sum of £1,500, his salary provided by law for each year and the necessary doputy hire; and Whereas, The said T. A. Megeath has only paid over and accounted for the sum of $3,600.90 of the said sum, 50 as aforcsaid re- ceived by him, which said payment he made on June 30, 18%0, and the remainder thereof, to-wit, the sum of 4,000 yet remains unpaid , and the said Megeath refuses to pay the sane or any part thereof ; now, thorefore be it Resolved, That T. J. Mahoney, the county attorney of Douglas county, Nebraska, be and he is hereby requested to give this board his opinion in writing as to whether or not the said Megeath, as register of deeds aforo- said, has any legal right or authority to re- tain'snd money, or any part theveof, and it 50, to state what right or authority the said Megeath as register of deeds has to retain and Lold said money. 2. Did not the holding of the said §7,603.90 on aud after the expiration of the first term of oflice of said T. A. Megeath as register of deeds of Douglas county, Nebraska, make the said Megeath as register of deeds in default us collector and custodian of public moneys or property, and preveat him from being eli- igible to re-election to the office of register of deeds, to which he was re-elected for a sec- ond term on N 1889, under the pro- visions of section 2, article 14, of the consti- tution of Nebraska, which provides that any person who is in default as collector and cus- todian of public™ moneys or property shoula not be eligible to uny office of trust under the laws of the state 3, If the said Megeath was in aefauit as collector and custodian of the public moneys or property and was not elizible to re-elec- tion, cannot he, the said Megeath, be ousted of said office by institution of quo warrauto proccedings 1n the district court of Douglas county, Nebraska. And whereas, It appears that aftor the re- election of said Megeath as register of deeds he did receive at the end of his first quarter in the year 1890 the sum of $1,567,66, and at the end of his second quarter of said 1890 the sum of $1,054.50, and at ond of his third quarter of said year §1,2 and at the end of his fourth quarter of year the sum of $—, no report having yet been made by the said Mcgeath, all of which Wwas i the sums and to the amounts afore- said in excess of and over the sum of $1,500 salary for each year, and over, above and in excess of the mnecessary ana actual deputy clerk hire; and ‘Whereas, The said Megeath has failed to pay the said excess of money into tho treas- ury of Douglas county, and still holds and re- tains the same, as well a3 the sum of $4,000, balance unpaid for his first term of office, which expired on January 9, 18%0; now there- fore be it lyed, That the county attorney be and by requested to report to this board his opinion in writing as v whether or not: 1. By reason of the retention of said funds and default of said Megeath to make pay- ment of same, he, the said Megeath, has not forfeited bis right to longer hold the said office, and whether or not he may not be re- moved by quo warranto proceedings, 2, And ifin tho opinion of the county at- terney the said Megeath is liable to be re- moved from office by such procecaings, in whose name the said proceeding should be instituted—that is to say, whether in the name of the state on relation of the county attorney, or whether in name of tho state upon relation of any citizen of the county and state of Nebraska. 3. Whether or not in his, the said county attorney’s opinion, the said Megeath, under the facts aforesaid as stated in the foregoing preambles, on of his having collected, held and retained saia moneys, and having been iu default of payment of same into tho county treasury, he is not guilty of wilful und habitual or wilful neglect of his duty, and of wilful maladministration of o within the purview of section 1, articlo chapter 18, of the compiled statutes of Ne- braska. 4. Whether or not the colloction and reten- tion of the said funds and failure to pay the same into the treasury of Douglas county, as hereinbefore recited, would or would rot give this board the power, right and authority to remove the said T. A, Megeath from the of- fice of register of deeds under the provisions of article 2, chapter 18, compiled statutes, should any person file before this board an accusation charging the saild Megeath with such failure to pay said money, and the same should be fully sustained by proof. After the resolution had been read Mr. Berlin moved its adoption, Chairman O'Keeff¢ announced that County Attorney Mahoney was about to filo certain papers in the district court relative to fur- ther litigation lookig_toward securing this money, when Judge McCullough, sttorney for Megeath, met him (Mahoney)on the stairs and told him if he would kold the tl- ings off for forty-eight hours the whole mat- ter would be straightened. Mr, Berlin stated that he offered the reso- lution out of no malice whatever, but simply 1 the line of his duty as chairmanof the flnance committee. The resolution was ordered laid on the table, Mr. Beclin voting no. Chairman O'Keeffe added l\mb e county attorney, on the representation® made by Judge MeCullough, did not file the papers he had intended to in the court, It was ascertained that the papers which Mr. Mahoney was on the pointof filing con- sisted of a petition lnstitutihg proceedings agalnst the bondsmen of Mr, Mogeath.
