PAT HAND TOOK THE POT, Threo Bidders Drew But Didn't Help, and Away Went Their Substance, INSTEAD ELECTRICITY OF GASOLINE, Becger R ised His Bia Anything Else - Boil Built According to Spec ifications. it He Didn't rs Must be Four firms wero in tho game at the coun il chamber last night for the city lighting Jnck pot. Three of them went in with gaso- line bluffs, und didn't botter themselves in the draw. Mr. Wiley of the New Omaha Thomson-Houstdn electric lignt company 8tood pat, and even on the show down ‘Tho gamo was opened by Mr. Donnelly Wwho offerca a resolution instructing the clerk o roturn tho bids for lighting and instruc g the proper authorities to enter into a contract with Mr. R. Seeger for furnishing the city with 700 or more gasoline lamps. This was promptly tabled and the cl fnstructed to open tho bids received from the comptrolier's office, rk Thero were four of these, oue from tho Ohlo strect lighting company under the name of the Sun vapor company, one from ot Tobert , one from the Missouri s gaslight company of St Louis, and ono from the New Thomson-Houston electric light company Mr. A. Seeger, whose first bid was 815 per lamp per annum and afterwards raised to 60, presented one for $16,%0 per lamp por and its reading caused a whistlo of sur. priso from nearly every momber of tho council Mr. Bell, the Omaha agent of the Ohio street lighting company, camoe up as the agent of the Sun vapor lighting company and presented a bid of 81550 for a fourteen- candle power, #16.50 for a seventeon-candle power lamp and for a nineteen-candle power lamp. The Missouri street gas light company pro- sented a bid of &15.50 for thirteen-candle power, $19.50 for sixtoen-canalo power and $22.50 Tor ninewen-candle power. What Wiley Held. Mr. Wiley’s bid for the new Omaha Thomson-Houston electric light company was offored. This company agreod to fur- nish 700 or morc incandescent electric lights of twenty-candle power, to be placed at int vals of ouo block in the suburbs at points designated by the council, ot £20 per lamp per annum, Mr. ‘Tuttle at once offered a motion to award the coutract to the Thomson-Houston company. Mr. Blumer wanted an amendm clude the sun vapor oil for outskirt: Mr. ChafTeesaid : We know the olectric light company can furnish a rwenty-candle power 318 t to in- light. We don't know that any gasoline com. pany can furnish a sixteen-candle power amp. We do know we n't had a twelve- candlo power during tho past year.” There was some question in the mizds of several of the council as to whether or not the electric Leht company would go iuto the far suburbs with its lamps. + Mr. Wiley was callod for and said his company vroposed to put on lamps in_any part of ihecity designated by the council, On a call of the roll the contract was awarded to the electric light company, Mr. Bruner alone voling in the ncgative, after making a spocch. The checks of the other bidders were ordered roturned and the city attorney in structed to prepare a contract with the elec- tric light company. “Better send the contract to the mayor, too, before it gots back to the council,” suggested Mr. Cooper. About Those ¥ This settled one question considerable contention and anothoer one was sprung instanter. Mr. Coots presented a letter relativo to the contract for boilers in the new city hall. Tur Brw yesterday con- tained a statoment of the situation showing that the boilers ordered were not in accord- ance with the requirements of the specitica- tions. Mr. Coots, in his communication, stated that the steol in the boilers used was equally as good as that of the Otis steel called for in specifications, Boilor Inspector Standeven was called for in reply to Mr. Coots, and stated that the steel in the boilers ordered was not such as was called forin the specifications. Thero Wwas no way, he said, to tell whether 1t was as good stecl as the Otis steel, which was called for by the specifications. Mr. Osthoff wanted three expert boiler men appointed to investigate the boiler aud test the steel in them. *1 for one,” said Mr. Elsasser, “shall de- mand that none but the steel required by the specifications be allowed in the city hall boilers. Itis notour business to find out whether this steel is as good as the Otis steel or not. The only thing we are required to do is to msist that nothing shall be used unless it is called foc in tho specifications and to bo lers, satistiod with nothiug less.” resolution, Mr. Chaffeo offered a was adopted, instructing the superintendent of tho city ball to have the boilers now on the ground removed and to accept none that do not comnly with the requiremeuts of the specitications. Aud they weren't through then, Swoko consumers came in for a fow min- utes consideration. Mr. Cots offered to put In three Herbert consumers for £3,500. Mr. Elsasser wanted the cousumers — laid on the tavle. After u wordy cross-five the matter was reforred to the committee on public property and buildings, The Johnson heat” regulating apparatus was adopted for the new city hall, and then the council got down to work 'and traus- acted a lot of routine business, Vetoes Coming In. The mayor's veto of a resolution instruct- fne the cliief of polico to abate a nuisance at Forty-fifth and Cuming was sustained. The veto was ou the ground that the property had not been declared a nuisance by an ordi- nance of the council, as required. The papers were referred to the judiciary cor The mayor also votoed the contract with Hayman & MeDonald for the construction of a sower in Bemis park, his nonor lrolding that thero were not fuvds availablo for the work and that the pay, or i part of it, would hayo to come out of the Judgment fund, Mr. Davis and Mr. Chaffoo stated that the contruct in question called for a sower to cost $1.50 & foot, but that they favored the approval of tho contract because City Attor. ~ney Popploton had recommonded and tho wmayor wvproved a simiiar contract for a sower in district 18, costing £3.20 per foot, "Tho coutract was approved, the veto of the mayor to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Blumer alone voted ‘to sustain the veto Tho city attorney called attention to the docision of Judge Wakeloy giving an injunc- tion against tho paving of Dorcas street be- cause tho proper gas and water mains had not beon luid. The city attorney stated that in view of Judge Wakeley's' deoision it would bo usoless to order streot paved without first requiring tho laying of gus sud ‘water main: Contractor Squires' street sweeping e mate for Juue, amounting prosentod, and for @ wondor, for ih first J which ime in years, was approved without a kick. Quite a Popular Idea. On a final grading estimate Mr. Chaffeo ssked for the cortificate of the board of public works that sidewalks taken up by the con- tractor had been replaced. The clork replied that no such certificate was visible to his nude eyo. The chairman of the board of pubdlio” works thought the walks haa been replaced, but ho wasu't real sure of it Mr. Chaffee then announcea that he would oppose the approval of any final estimate Lo which the required certificuto was Dot attached. This idea seemed popular and tho estimate was referred to the board of public works to secure the necessary certifi- €ato about the condition of the sidewalks. Len per cont was held out of Contractor Burn's estimato for sidewalk coustruction by thio board of public works to cover any do- ficieacles in tho work. Some of the council- men wanted to know why any amount should be held out if the work was properly done, sud why any amount shiould be allowed 1f the work had not been properly doue. This mat tor was finally sottiod by allowing the re- sorve minus the 10 por cent resorve, and ap- that has caused Lu tog Osthof, Burdish aud Donnolly as & ] o oral Leavonw ttee to investigate the matter in gon th stroet and Park avenuo camo up with a demand_for repaving, repairing or auythine to get them in a passable condi- tion, The wholo matter wes finally reforre to u joint committeo of finance and paving, o g and guttoring, I'he salary of A.

The party will visit Mon- tana, Idaho and Colorado and the gentlemen have an intention of investing largely in farm lands in the states named.

Attorney E.W. Simeral has given tho question of South Omaba's position under the revised statutes considerable attention. In rosponse to the request of u representa- tive of Tus Bee ho yesterday made this statement of the situation and the means which the city may employ for relief from its proseut embarrasing and unfortunate condition *“The complications arising by virtue of the amendment to section 1 of charters of cities of the first class makes & change so as to pro- vide that all cities having less than twenty- fivo thousand and more thau ten thousand in- babitants shall be known as cities of the first cinss, thereby changing the law us it hereto- fore 'stood, which provided that all cities having 25,000 and more than eight thousand inhabitants should be cities of the first class, places South Omaha and perhaps other cities throughout the state 1n a somewhat peculis condition, although I do not think that it joived hands in | WEDNESDAY Tite Ber in reforench to the indobtednoss of y. 1 suppose thy first question that would naturally arisecwould be the eff it would have ipbon the prosont city govern ment and any future action that thoy may take i v to Municial afMairs, “Thore s 1o dow byt what the legisla ture mag alter, ch nend or wholly aunul a eity ehartor, or deprive a municipal ity of all or any of its powors, This has ! b done nnumber of times in the history of cities thi hout 19 country, m o pecially | 0 cast Of the city of Momph Tenn., whervin the dhurier was absolutely annulled, But as a genoral lo this course | 18 taken because of the bankraptey of the | city, although any aw that o le, ure | miht pass affecting its chartor.could not af. | fect any pro-existing debts, The practical | uestion | how th though, would immodiately arise 0 debts can be collocted.

The only quos tion arising is to whether or not it is neces. sary to have the governor make proclamation that South Omaha is & city of the second class, that section in rofe °0' to the proclamation by the governor ¥$ that whenever city shall hoveafter nave than 2 ttained @ population of 5,000 or less 000, and such fact shall bhave been duly ascertained and cortitiod by the mayor af such city to the governor, the governor shail by proclamation so declaro tho city to bo a city of the socond class and subject to the provisions of this act ‘As it is a matter of record prior to tho pussago of this act that th Omaha had over five thousand inhabitants a proclamation by the governor, perliaps, is not necessary. "he most sorious difficulty that at vresont S would stare South Omaha in the face { is in reference to its taxes and the assessing and _collection theroof, as section 35 provides thut the ecity council shall cortify to the county clerk the amount f tax levy for city purposes and the county pmmissioners shall make the assessment. This applies as woll to spocial assessments for improvements, ete., as to general taxes, But the fiscal year of a city of the second cluss dmwes not begin until the second Monc in August, so that evon theso matters in reference to taxation by following out the provisions of sections % and 40 may bo ad- justed so that no great trouble will arise. “It is to be hoped for the good namo of the city that tho present complications in ref- erence to this unexpected position 1w h tho city is placed will ho speedily set straight. Undoubtodly the troublo has arisen by inad- vertence upon the part of the logislature or those who had the matter in charge to look ter such cities as South Omaba. That they have made a buil of the law there ean bo no question, although as I said before 1t is to be hoped that the credit of the city will principal kickers will probabl the present ofticials as under the law go ing cities of the second class their salarios will be cut down about threo-fourths.” Broke His Leg.

I'ho commission ors took the matter undor advisement, FINLEY AND THE ST. PAUIL Chairman Finloy of the Westorn Passenger association gave his decision today in the matter of complaints against tho Chicago, Milwaukeo & St. Paul and tho Wisconsin Central lines for making rates from St. Paul to Toronto by way of Milwaukee on tho oc casion of tho educational convention. He beld that these roads violated a provision of the agrecment in failing to nut into effect the ruling made by the chairman at the time, but as no_harm had beon deno to auy other line he refraivea from inflicting auy penaltios. ‘The most important part of the decision is that in which Mr. Finley takes the position that these roads, under the agreement, have 1o right to use through fares via Milwaukee upon any basis lower than the agreed through fares for the reason that there is no provision for them 1n any of the existing rate sheets. He ex t in this instunce be. causo the roads are privileged to meet out side competition, and the Soo line had really made the rate used by them, but he insisted that there was uo authority for using through excursion rates via Milwaukee. General Passenver Agent Heafford of the Milwankee & St. Paul says he will not sub- it to this decision, but will appeal to arbi- tration. 0 Combinations. Bostoy, July 25.—A director of the Boston & Maine railroad today smd: ““There can be 1o foundation for the reports connecting the Boston & Maine with any other roud excopt what there may be found in increased busi ness of the Boston & Maine, Its territory is pretty well defined and all attempts to ally its finances with the New York & New I land ou tho south and the Canadian Pacif or Gravd Trunk on the north wiil be found m the future as in the past to be schemes that have no basis in_the Boston & Maine The road will never o out of New England. The trafiic oetween the Ca- | ¢ nadian roads and the Boston & Muine is, I believe, increasing. We are building a short cut oft and an_eiovator up by the Canadian border to faciiitate this business, Mr Van Horn aud Mr. Furber seem to get along ver. well together in the mutual develonment of business, but as to the Boston & Maine going into any grand transcontinental schews, that is too absurd for contradiction.” Burlington =howing.
