{ g WIL_SUN LOSES HIS HEAD Repeal of the Resolution Creating the Po- sition Which He Ocenpieds ONE OF THE CITY COUNCIL'S BUSY NIGHTS Many of the Mayor's Vetoes Rejocted—Ate tention Called to the Unsafe Condition of the Eleventh Street Vinduct— An Interesting Sesalon, At a meeting of the city eouncil held last nieht, Mr. Beuner was afforded an opportu- nity 10 display bis ability as' a presiding of- ficer, but he threw that opportunity to the winds. Mr. Howell moved, that in the absence of President Davis, Mr. Bruner be elected to presido over the aeliberation of the body. Mr. Bruner wanted the honor, but said that he had cramps of the stomach and might not beable to sit the meoting out. The explana- tion wes accepted and Mr. Bechel bocame the the presicent pro tem. When the couneil got down to business the vetoes of the mayor were considered and this was the first ono that was presented to tho wise men The Time Did Not Suit s Hon ‘I herewith return without my aporoval the contract with Andrew Jaicks for paving St. Mary’s avenue from Twenty-sixth street to ‘I'wenty-seventh street, Improvement Dis- trict No. 450, for the reasyn that the time fixed in smid contract for the complotion of said paving 1s December 20, 1892, So far as tho practical results are concerned the date for complering tms - paving micht as well huve been fixed by the Bord of Public Works for the next Fourth of July, us avout Christmas time. Unloss puving with asphaituru cun be completed be- 1ore sevore cold weather areives it cannot be completed av all. The outside time for com- pleting this work should not hive been Jater than November 1, which would huve eiven M. Jaicks forty days for proparation and at least threo weeks for dowg a small job of paving which_ should be dovo within one week's time. 1 am desirous of favoring com- petition in the laying of asphaitum pave ments, but Lam notin favor of postponing until next year work that should bo done this scason. MF. Jaicks has no rightto ask.aud the Board of Public Works has noright to grant, such time for the completion of tois work as will tako it to a date in the winter season whou it is impossiblo to be dove. While T reuret to veto this contract, I do not hesitate 10 do 50 50 far us working deluy1s concerned. 1f there is an houest purposc on the part of Mu. Jaicks and tho Board of Public Works o0 have this work done this season & now contraot can be presented in ono weok’s time fixing reasonablo limits for the completion of the work and which would give Mr. Juicks all the time necessary for establishing a plant in Omaba and doing the work on or be- fore October 1 or mnot later than Nover ber 1. M lsnsser was tho only member who had anything to say ragarding the veto. He remarked that it was wrong to single out ove contractor. Mr. Jaicks was the unly competitor whom tho Barber Asphalt coni- pany had ever met, and it was not the correct thing to drive him into thosearth. Squires, ho said, who was at the head of the Barber company, bad robbed the city of thousands of dollars and the mayor had not attempted to veto his contracts, though some of them had nov been properly signed or prepared, The veto was rejected by a voteof 12 to 4, Ocdina The mayor vetoed a number of ordinances ordering the improvement of streets. The votoes were based upon tho grounds that the ordinances failed to stato whether the streets were to be paved, curbed or graded. Mr. Howell wanted to kuow who drew the or- Ainances, Mr. Specht, chairman of the comuittee on paving, curbing and guttering, threw the re- sponsibility upon City Engineer Rosewater by saying that hio was the party who drew the ordinances, “Yes, said Mr. Chaffee, “but the nances passed through the hauds of commiltee and wera reported correet.” The veto was sustained and new and cor- rected ordinances wore jntroduced. There was troublo when the mayor re- turned a veto on some of the items in the ap- provriation ordinance He bad refused to approve the bills of John A. Wakefield for lumber furoished to the city and used 1n the lnying of sidewalks. Iu the veto ho stated that Wakefield’s charges wore excessive: that he had not made deductions that he should and, owing to that fact, ho advised a cancelation of the contract. ‘This brought on bursts of ovatory. Howell said that the city attorney had ex- pressed an opinion that the city could not go bock on the contract without there was fraud. Ho said, however, that when the con- :lmcl was let Wakefield wus the highest vid er. Mr. Tuttle said that Walefield was from $2t0 9 per 1,000 feot bigher thun the other bidders, That statement brought Mr. Elsasser to iy feet. He wanted to kuow by what right the contract was awarded if Waketield was the highest bidder. City Attorney Connell said that the can- s Votoed., ordi- your celation of the contract mennt a lawsuit. (f e contract was obtained by fraid or by mistake a cancelation would stand, but if Wakefleld was honest in his bidding the matter wicht bo different. Mr. Elsasser urgod & prompt and spoedy effort to find why the contract was uot given 10 tho lowest bidder. Mr. Chaffce sud that ke had talked with the comptroller regarding the matter and that that gentlomun had told him that he had checked the Wakefield bills and that his s were in nccerdance with his bids, Lowry ealied for the ordinance, but it not with the veto message. Tho may- clovk was sent after the ordinance, When it came in, on 1ts faco it showed that the yeto covered bills amounting Then the members voted and was thewonly ove who stood by and his veto. To it vestigate the overcharge, dent appomted Messrs, Muuro, Howell a committee, ot Vetoes Rejoctod, was another veto and it was signed by ayor. In that document he stated that the First ward had got all of the cross walks to which 1t was entitled under the allotment. Notwithstanding that fault the gentleman from that ward bad baen cunning onough to secure some six or cight more than ho was entitied to receive. Mr. Back, one of the representatives from the st ward, suid that tho mayor bud not culeulated correctly. Instaad of that ward having used all of “the waiks allatted, 1t bad s0me sixteen or eightoen that had not been ordered. The voto was rojected, Mr. Munro alone voting no. In the general appropriation orainance there was an allowance of §0 to Adam Suyder for dama to 4 horse which was injured by comiug 1n contact with a water fountuin, T'he chwirman of the committes on elaims said that the bill bad been lnvesti- gated und found correct. This settled it and #ll of the wembers voted to override the mayor's veto ‘T'he item of §1,500 to ald in the construction of the bridee over Cut-Off luke was in the appropristion crdinance, The ftem was vetoed by the mayor, ho stating thet the ex- peuditure, in bis “opinion, was 1llegal’ and unauthorized und that the Courtland Beach Tmprovement asscclation had not lived up o 115 ugreemeut In tho way of improving the grounds on the south shove of the lake. The velo was rejected by a vote of 12 to 4, Mossrs. Jacobson, Munro, Tuttle and Specht the mayor the presi- Steel and being tho members who were with the mayor. A Message from the Mayor, The mayor wrote this regarding the No- vewber cleetion : “On the Stu day of November next a gen- eral eiciion will bu beld in the city of Omaba to elect state ofticors and for other purposes. In view of the fact that undor the Australian ballot system a general or special election juvolves a'vory large expense, it 18 not only desiruble, but ubsolutely necossary, that any propositions proposed 1o bo submits ted to the electors of 1hoe city of Omahs should be submitted at the Novewboer elee- ton. The timo is now t Land, not only for the cousideration but for taking action with roference 1o any propositivn to be submit- fed to the people concerniy works of public improvement for tho uext yoar, 1t 1t is proposed to issue aaditional bouds for paving, sewer eoustruction, or any other Mr, | purpose, tho matter shonld be considered by your houorable body without delay, and ordinances should be passed authorizing and airecting the submission of such propositions. In view of the unprecedented and unneces- sary delay in the work of publio improve- ments during the present year, [ am not sure that the clactors of the city of Omaha will be disposed to vote additional bonds, but if We are to continue the work of paving and sewer construction additional funds will be necessary. “Imuch regret the dolay whioch has oc- curred, and that proper heed was not given 10 my messages urging prompt action, dating back to iy inaugural in January, 1 trust this communication will receive the atten- tion it Geserves, and that unnecessary delays in taking action regarding works of pubiio improvement will cease, and that from this time forward tho taxpayers of Omaha will nave no causo for the just complaints now being made." Mr. Munro expressed the opinion that men could not be hired to serve as judges and clorks at 83 a day. Mr. Howell scouted the idea, and said that thero were 2,000 men in the city who would accept such positions. Made Vacant Mr. The council picked up Sidowalk [nspector John M. Wilson and dronped ahim overboard in short oraer. I'noy accomplished this by tho adoption of the following resolution, which was signed by sixteen membors yorconeurring—That reso- Tuly 21, 1802, bo, and the ed and rosehided. and the oity clerk immodiately notify any iorson or pensons ombloyed under said, roso; ution that the same is hereby repealed, and that bis her or thelr '\)nv will_stop imme- dintely upon such notificatton from the city clerk io hin, her or then Rasolution No. 80 was the one which auttor- ized the Board of Public Works to employ a competent person to nspect the laying of permanent sidewalks where the same were laid by privato parties, Comptroller Olsen reported that the ex- verses incurred in holding tho Nebraska Central bona clection amountod to the sum of 88,754 53, Upon the subject of tearing up and repay- ing the Tenth street visauct Uity Kugineer Rosewater and Chwirman Birkhauser of the Board of Public Works reported some rotton blocks, but wroto that they did not deem it advisable to order the structure repaved at this time. Upon the subject of the Eloventh streot viaduct the committee appointed to investi- gate its condition reported a state of affair as described in last evening’s Bee, The committee recommeudod that stops at once be takon to put the structure in a safe and passable condition. City Bngincer iRosewater said that the re- paving alone would cost 8,500, He could not tell what the roplanking under the pav- ing would cost, but estimated it at ‘the viaduct would haveto ve ropaired or closed up at once, as it was in a_dangerous coudition. The question, however, was Witson's Position. where was the money to come from to make | tho ropairs. Me. Lowry moved that tho report be ro- ferved to the committeo on viaducts and rail- ways, the Board of Public Works and the city enzineer, with power to act. Mr. Jacobson said_that he should opposa thoexporditure of $10,000, as the eity aid not nave that amount of moeney on hand with which to make ropairs. Mr. Chaffee said _thav it was a question of finance and u serious question, too. The streot railway company should havo boen charged a sum for crossing, and thats should bave been saved to pay for w repairs Mr. Howell moved as an_amendment that the committee next Tuesday mght report to the council the sum of money that would be required 1o muke the repairs. This motion provalied, Ono week ago the hack and baggagomen of the city complained to the council that the Omana Transfer company monovolized the ousiness and saco at the union depot. This was referred 10 the commitiee on viaducts and railways. Last night this committee re- ported abai no relief could be afforded until the completion of the new union depot, as the roads selling tickets to and_beyond Omaha had a contract with the Transfer compauy which made it absolutely necossary that its teams should bo at the dopot and oc- cupy the limitod amount of space about the platform. Régulating the Speed of Street Cars, Tho ordinanco to regulate the speod of the running of street cars was passod. This »rdinanca proviaes that in all that portion of the cily bounded by Twelfth, Sixteenth, Loavenworth and Cuming stroots tue speed of tho cars shall not excoed ten miles per hour. Outside of this district they may run at a rate of speed not exceeding firteen wmiles per hour. ‘I'he ordinance accepting and approving the plans for the vroposed Fifteenth streot via- duet was read three times and passod. The time-honored ordinance rogulating the kind of wagons to be used in hauling earth over puved streots and compeliing all grad- ing contractors Lo take out a permit and de- posiv & forfeit that they will cloan up from the streets all earth spilled, was passed by a vote of 10 to 5. By resolution the telephone company was instructed to remove its poles to the curb 1ine on the west sido of Twenty fourth from Spauldiug street to the north city limits, Tho company was given ten days within which to comply with the resolution.

WILL HAVE HOT AIR IN ONE Stoam Heat Men Lose Another Round in the Board of Education Mill. ON RIGHTS OF THE LOWEST BIDDER Some Interesting Features of the Law of Contracts Discussed at Length by the Board—Arranging to Erect w Buldings. Some discussion arose among the members of the Board of Education at l vight's meeting as to the kind of heating apparatus to be placed in the Windsor Piaco school. The committes on buildings and proverty recommended bot air. Mr. Powell made a strong plea for steam beat. He held that steam was superior to hot air as a medium for furnishing heat. He asked sorae members of the committes if they had not received word. from eastern cities very rocently to the offect thatsteam was being exployed in proference to hot air. Mr. Coryell stated that the very opposite was the case. Kastern cities were using hot air, he said, instead of steam. Mr. Powell then asked again, very point- edly, if the commitice on buildings aad prop- erty bhad not recoived telegrams very re- cently from eastern cities pertaining to the matter. Prosident Spalding answered, saying that he had veceived such telegrams and had turned them over to tho committee. These telegrams stated, he said, tuat steam was being adoptea in eastern cities. After some furthor discussion the board voted on tho report and adopted hot air for the Windsor building. Wanted to Withdraw His Bid, ‘The contract for doing the carpenter work on tho new Winasor piace building was awarded to Duncan Einlayson at 3,375, und the brick work wus awarded to C. P. Strows- borg at £10,000, Mr. Martin then inforniea the board that Mr. Stromsberg had just informed him that he had made o mistuke and bud too low. He wanted to withdraw the bid. Mr, Coryell moved that Mr. Stromsberg be permitted to witudraw his bid iveludiog the $300 check. Mir, Morrison and Mr, Smyth made a_hard fight against the withdrawal of the check. ‘They declared that such a course would break dowu all protection in tho future and permit the contractors to play horse with the voard. If contractors could withdraw theirbids at any time they would vut in straw bids and ‘manipulate matters to suit themselves, Mr. Stromsberg appeared and made the explanation that be had made an ervor in caleulating the number of brick by about 0,000. This would cost him_over 2,000 more than he had caleulated. He hoped the board would let bim out of the hole, Dr. Gibbs pleaded for tho contractor, be- cuuse the poor fellow had made a mistake. He thought it was very evident that the man had made a mistake, because he had bid lower than any of tho others by $2,:00. e'll Know Better Next Time, Mr. Coryell took the ground that the board could not retain the check if mr Stromsberg was permitted to withdraw his bid. Iven 1t the board should attempt to bold Stromsberg w0 his contract and he falled to furnish a satisfactory bond, then the board would, he said, be obliged to let him out and return his check. Mr, Powell took up the argument holding that the board would be laying down the bars for a long train of frauds by allowing this man to withdraw his check along with his bid. Higher bidders could bargaiu with the lowest bidder at any time to have the lowest bid witharawn and then divide the profits madoe by the high-priced contract thus forced upon the board. Coryell’s motion to permit Stromsberg to withdraw bis check failed to carry by a vote of 9 to 8. Coryell, Points and Wenrer voted aye; Gibbs, Smyth, Martin, Elzutter, W. N. Baocock, Poppleton, Morrison, Gib- son and Powell voted agalvst the motion. The contract for the carpenter work oun the Saratoga school was awarded to Duncan Fin- n at §8,320. The committeo recommended that the trac for brick work on the same buildin awarded to Deverell Bros, at §12,633, board concurred in the report. Coryell's Queer Proposition. The committee on buildings and property recommended that the brick work on the new Hartmao building bo let to Brayton & Dounecker at $19,990 ana thecarpenter work to Beverley & Wooley at $17,200. Mer. Corvell brought in & minority report. Ho thought the contract for the brick work should be let to Dellone & Cooper because that firm had been the lowest the first time the board advertised for tho work on the Hartman building., The board haa made a mistako the first time 1t advertised. Dellone & Cooper were the lowest at that time. They were not the lowest bidders on the second advertisement, but as a matter of fairness and encouragement Mr. Coryell thought that Dellone & Cooper ouxht to havethe contract. Theu the fur vegan to fly. Mr. Poppleton ceclared that the board should lay aside this idea of sympathy for contractors and proceed on business priniciples. He held that the lowest responsibie bidder should get the con- tract. ‘Tho first bid on this buililug was a thing of the pust and the board had to doal only with the bids that were received 1 re. sponse to tha sccond advertisement, for all of tho first bids had been rejected. Will Go Lo the Lowest Bidd Morris Morrison carried down tho mem- bers who wanted to let the contract to Del- lone & Cooper in a vigorous munner. e de- nounced it as a fraud. Brayton & Don- neoker were nearly £1,000 lower than Dellone & Cooper, he said, and even if thoy were bul $500 lower they should be awarded tho con- tract rather than Dellone & Cooper, ‘The motion to lat the contract to Dellone & Cooper was defeated on the following .vote: Yeas: W. N. Babeock, Coryell, Elgutter, Gibbs, Smyth, Webrer. Nays: Martin, Mor- rison, Ponts, Poppleton, Powell, Gibson, Spalding. ‘The majority report was then adopted, awarding the contract for the brick work to Brayton & Donnocker, avd the carpenter work to Boverly & Wooley. A long discussion epsued over the hoating apparatus to beselected for the new Hartman school. Tha committee recommended the Failer & Warren system of hot air. The commitiee held that the Fuller & Warren system was the best thut could be put in and Keep within the appropriation, Mr. Swyth and Mr. Powell wanted to seo the Smiih system of neating and ventilating adopted, becuuse it was more than $300 cheaper than the Fuller & Warren systewm. It was finally aecided to put 1n stoam heat if it could be done within the appropriation, A motion to eliminate somoe of the pressed brick and use common brick soas to cut down the cost and to put in the Holbrook system of steawn heal was put and carried, Mr. Martin informed the board that Mr. Mayo, to whom the contract for the carpen- ter work on the Central school was awarded, had not furnished a boud. The boara gave Mr. Mayo forty-eight bours more ia which 10 sign the contract and furnish o satisfag tory bond, and if at the oud of Lhat time he has not done so fthe contract will be lot to the next lowest bidaer.

The fire department will oc- cupy the first floor, and also the police judge's office will be there. On the second floor the city treasurer and ebgineer will have the two front rooms. Back'of the troasurer’s oftice is that of tne eity clerk, whilo the rooms in the rear of the engineor’s oftice will be occupied by the superintendent of buildings, city attorney and mayor.
