The city of South Omah1 finds itself in a peculiardilemma just at this time, It wants to expend several thousand dollars in the construction of new schoolhouses, but it don’t know how to get the funds. Whon the couuty commissioners made the levy last July the people of South Omaha asked them to levy a tax which would en- able them to raise money to do this bullding, Acting upon tho advice of the county attor- ney, the commissioners refused to make tho levy, hoiding that South Omaha, being o ety of tho sccond class, undor the provisions of tho state law, 1t could make its own levy for this purpose. The matter went nto the courts, whero it was decided in favor of Soutn Omaba and Ainst the commissioners. Ihen tho mei- bers of the board asked their attornoy for an opinion.
