CITY HALL FURSITURE AGAIY, Builders and Traders Declars in Favor of Municipal Business Mothods, COUNCILMEN EXPLAIN THEIR POSITIONS . Interesting Session of the Exchange After Its S per's Vaention— Plans for Better Work in the Future. Tho Buildors’ and Traders' exchange ro- turned yesterday from its summer vaca- tion and took a now lease on life with u grip 80 strong and vigorous as to astouish even its oldest membvers, The meeting was conducted on something of a new plan, and there was a larger attend ance and moro interost was manifested than has been before noticeabie fn the exchange rooms, Recent apulications swell the mem- bership list 10 about fifty, and it is the in- tention of the organization 1o include within 1ts ranks every reputable contractor in- the aty. The plan now s to hold a méeting ery month, at which some topic of vital interest and importance to the members will come up for general discussion, and at the close & lunch will bo served. 1tis also intended to have the members meet at tie exchanyo daily, 1f possible, between the hoursof 11 and 12 o'clock, o transact their business with cach other, and to got acquainted more intimately, that they may work together more har- moniously than has heretofore veen the case. President Hussey remarked at the opening of tho session that the object to bo pri marily attended to was that of having the members get better acquainted with each other, so that they would all work together for the best interests of Omaha, He re forred to the plan of having a uniform contract and spoke of the richts of the lowest bidder. He said that the condition of affairs in Omaha at the present time is better than for two years past, and praised the work of the Xeal Iistate Owners' association and of its in- dividual members for thew nonpartisan eofforts, He favored tho form of uniform contract adopted by the joint committee of the American Institute of Architects, Wost- ern Association of Architects and National Association of Builders. Hoe had several of the printed contract blanks which he dis- tributed, as well as the decision of the Massa- chuselts supremo court, sustaining the ver- dict in the lower court ' favor of the piain- UM in the case of McNeil aguimst Boston Chamber of Commerce, establishing an 1m- portant precedent in support of the claims of the lowest invited bidder for proposed puild- Ing contracts, Councilman Davis spoke in_favor of get- ting down to active work again, and pushing the oxchango work until it effected the pur- poses for which it was organizod. The secretary read several communica- tions, umong them a general code for tho governmont and regulation of sub-contract- ng, Itemarks were made by Messrs. Vierling, Smith and Ittner, and then Mr. Davis said that he would like to hear the members ox- ross themselves on the question of the city hall furniture, He said that he did not be- lieve that the council had pursued the right course, and that he had always opposed the plan of letting, each bidder furnish bids on his own plans as it was simply a question of whicn could do the prot- tiest pencil work. Ho thought that there should be oue set of plans and_ specifications. Mr. Vierling said that the plan that had been followed by the council was unfair and unjust. He thouxkht that one sot of plans and specifications should have been agreed upon AL the start, and then submitted to geueral competition. Councilman T F. Tuttlo said that ho was a member of the council committee on public property aud buildings, to whor the matter ad been referred, and he wanted it under- stood that the committee had its instructions from tho council. They had simply done what they wero ordered to do and no more, He did not voto for Mr. Coots’ plan nor for the Ketcham Furniture company, but if Mr. Ceots could furnish the building properly all well and good 50 far s no was concerned. He kuew, however, that Mr. Coots had dono some things that the Builders' and Traders’ ox- change would not care to endorse. He had let contracts to outside partics that Omaha firms could have performed just as well as Chicago partios. So far as the furniture deal was concerned, he knew that Mr. Coots had neglected to come before the committee for a long time, waiting for plans to be furnishod by the architectof the building who was gotting 10 per cent for his work on every- thing that went in_and was going to got §0,000 or $5000 as his com- sion, and then when Mr. did fiuaily appear his plans simply wo in it by the side of those furnisned by bidders. Mr. Vierling smd ho hoped ho hadn’t been misunderstood, us he was simply speaking in a general way und with uo intention of cen- suring any varticular individual. Mr. Tut- tle said ‘be had taken no offonse, ouly he wanted to set himself square with the world, Mr. C. C. Bickel thought the council was wrong in the course it had pursued with referenco to obtaining bids. So far as the exchange was concerned he wanted to sce it propser, and thought that a tost case in Nebraska similar to the one in Massachu- seuts would be of untold benelit to the honest contractors of the state who submitted bids in good faith. Mr. Welshans said that the council went about the furniture matter in a very unbusi- nessliko manner at the outset, and ho did not see how any committee, no mattor what they were ordered to do, could pick up such vuried plans and consider them' with any de- gree of satisfaction or success. Mr. A. A. Bickel thought there had been o competition whatever i the matter, and aia the contract as lov should bo sbrogated. Tho council should then do what it ought to havo done in the first place—ugreed on one set of plans and specifications, readvertise for bids and relot the contract. ‘Phat ended the discussion of the furnituro question, althourh Mr. Debaugh gave the council & punch indirectly. He'said that he wanted to say a good word in favor of the good battle that had been waged in behalf of Omuha wmanufacturers. Ho was intorested in the munufacture of paving brick, and ho had noticed that while other cities were par- ticular to specify that home made brick must be used on their streets, oartain members of the Omaha Hoard of Public Works and other indivicuals whom he could miumo seemed to want brick that was made anywhere but in Omaha, Ho thought Omaha manufactures should ve encouraged and thought it in very poor taste for city offcials to aiscriminate agaiust thom when the citizens genorally were workiug for them. Mr. Vierliog said thut this broughtup a matter that was near his heart, and that was the work of the Manufacturers' and C sumors’ Association of Nobraska. He was proud to say that he was & member of that organization and was sure that its success meant great benefit to the state, The assock 10 now has 100 members and is oin to the front as fast us & man can travel the strosts and got the manufacturers in He wanted every member of the Builders' and Tradors' exchiange to join it. Mr. Davis said that thers was another move ov foot iu counection with the Manu- facturers' and Consumers' association, and that was the circulation of printed agree- wents to use ouly Omaha products, all things being equal, and there would b 100,000 of theso subscriptions in u very short tie, That called for the applause of tho mem- bers, and each member agreed to be ouo of the 100,000, They then anuounced tneir in- tention of daily attending the exchange, so faras practicable, and decided that at'the next monthly meeting they would discuss the sub-contracting code that had been read in their hearing. After adjournment several members of the Woman's exchange served hot coffee and sandwichos, aud S Wedge smiled sudibly over the success of his efforts as he passed around with & box ot the very best Dimaba-mado clgars - DeWitt's l.llllu Early Risors.

The case of the United States against J. J. Wilkinson was taken up yestorday in the United Statos court. This caso is the result of an_alleged illogal transaction on the part of Wilkinson in conducting the chattel loan busines: It uppears that Mr. Hiram J.
