THE OMAHA DAIL Y BEE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1895. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS President Ecwards Names the Committees for the Year MAYCR VETOES THE WATER WORKS BILL — Counell Stands by Him and the Payment of the Money Is Hung Up—The Eleventh Street Vinduct the Subect > of Discussion. At the regular meeting last night the city council of 1895 completed its organization and began In earnest the business of the year. The first transaction was the annual selection of | seats, which was accomplished by lot. It was suggested that on account of Bechel's five | terms of service in the body he be allowed to select his seat, but some of the democratic members, who still retained vivid recollec- tions of occurrences of the preceding meet- ing, objected and the motion was withdrawn. Bechel's luck remained with him, however, and his name was the first called. He se- lected the same seat at the left of the front | row that he had occupled last year., Kment drew second choice and took the desk at | Dechel's left. The other three seats in the front row went to Saunders, Jaynes and Ken- nard. Gordon will occupy the seat formerly graced by Hascall, with Howell at his left, Prince and Lemly round out the opposite end of the semi-circle, and the remaining mem- bers were disposed in the intervening space. AMED THE COMMITTEES. The business of the year will be considered by the following committees, which were ap. pointed by President Edwards and unani- mously approved: Judiciary—Saunders, Kennard, Gordon, finance—Taylor, Jacobsen, Kennard.

Councilmen Taylor, Bechel, Howell, Jaynes and Kennard were named as a special com- mittee to consider the mayor's message, and Frank Planck was appointed sergeant-at- arms, MAYOR AND HIS VETO. The mayor transmitted the following veto: ““To the Honorable the City Council of the Clty of Omaha—Gentlemen: I have the honor to inform you that I have vetoed an item in the last " appropriation ordinance under voucher No. 10,338, being the bill of the American Water Works company for the last X months of 1804, amounting to $42,462.04. 1 have vetoed this item for the reason that the city is not recefving the fire protection required to be furnished by this company under its contract. It s not necessary to go into detalls on this point, as the matter was investigated by a committee of the council, which reported on December 3, last, that the fire protection supplied by the water com- pany was inadequate. As this. company is under contract to furnish ample pro- tection I believe it is the duty of the mayor and council to protect the interests of the taxpayers by deducting from the water company’s bill the amount which the city is required to expend fn order to supply the pro- tection which the company should furnish. “Up to this time the city has been com- pelled to purchase three new fire engines, and the cost of the engines, together with their maintenance and that of the one old engine, up to the first of tho present year, has been $30,656.20. The cost of maintaining the four englnes now in service will be at least $15,- 000 per annum, and if additional engines are purchased the cost will be proportionately greater. “I therefore recommend that the amount already expended by the city, $30,556.20, be deducted from the amount claimed by the water company, leaving a balance of $11,- 905,84, which I recommend be at once paid to the water company. “I further recommend that the expense of maintaining these engines and the cost and malntenance of any additional engines be de- ducted from ‘future bills of this company. SUSTAINED THE MAYOR. Jacobsen opposed the veto on the ground that the water works was. in the hands of the United States court and that to refuse to pay any part of the bill was to incur the displeasure of Judge Dundy. Howell said that the city attorney had pre- viously decided that the water warks com- pany had lived up to the terms of its con- tract and that the city had no legal re- courso against it. Consequently 1t would oo useless to contest the bill. In this con- nection Mr. Connell stated that since he had glven that opinion several large fires had occurred, at which it had been dem- onstrated that the water supply was not sufficfent. He thought it would be very poor policy to pay the bill fivst and then investi- gate Its merits afterwards, Prince declared that it useless to try to compel the water works company to fur- nish a sufficient pressure-for fire protection. This could only be obtained through the pur- chase of additional fire engines, City Engineer Rosewater said that it made no difference whether the water com- pany was in the hands of a court or mot. They had contracted to furnish a certain service to the city and the courts would com- pel them to give that service, There were places in the city where a single engine would consume all the water that could be obtained, as the mains were not large enough to carry a larger supply. Cahn agreed with the city attorney that the city might better be a defendant than a plaintiff in court, and thought that some re- duction should be made in the bill. On roll call the veto was sustained, VENTH STREET VADUCT, The mayor also presented a communication directing attention to the unsatisfactory con- dition of the elevators in the city hall, It was referred to the committee on bulldings and property and the building Inspector. The annual reports of the city electriclan, gas Inspector, city clerk, poundmaster and other officials’ were received and referred to tho comptrolier. 8. 0. Ernst was appointed a eity weigher.

The petition was referred to the committee on viaducts and railways and the city attorney.

At the Donrd of Education Meeting Aikin Won in a Cantor, The deadlock over the election of the presi- dent of the Board of Education was broken | last night and now Colonel H. C. Aikin holds down the chair for that august body. The meeting was scheduled for 8:30, and at that time the faithful who had stood by Afkin solldly Monday night arrived full of hope, as they were confident that their champion would pull out a winner after a very few ballot None of the opposition, however, were in elght, but the meeting could not be called | to order on account of the lack of a quorum, | Nearly an hour later they came in in a body, | and it then developed that they had been in caucus for an hour. They had come to the conclusion that it would do no good to buck any longer, and consequently, when Tem- porary Chairman Lunt called the meeting to order, Thomas moved that the secrctary be instructed to cast the entire vote of the board for Aikin. On taking the chair President Aikin stated that he would attempt to satis factorily fill the position, upon which the eyes that the secretary be instructed to cast vote of the board for J. L.

The matter was referred | to the superintendent of buildings with in- structions with power to act, On motion of Rhoades the committee on claims was Instructed to report favorably on the salary of the attorney for December. The report was made and adopted. The amount was $41.66.

S s Nearching for the M ng Marshal. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 8.—For twenty-four hours a posse has been out scouring the country for miles around in the hope of finding some clew to the missing town marshal, William Bowers, who was at first thought to have been murdered. Beyond the diecovery that he called at Sampson's cattle ranch, twenty miles westward, Janu- ary 1, securing a horse and saddie, Mr. Sampson thinking that he was after a pris- oner, and that he rode off in the direction of the San Juan country in Colorado, no trace of the missing man has been found. It is thought taht he is a deserter from the regu. lar army. Ex-Sheriff Yrissorri reported that Bowers was short on license collections about $100. —_—— Could Not Agree.

There was a larger crowd of ‘®pectators 'present than usually attends the meetings, this being oc- casioned by the expectation that there would be some fun to witness, but the lobby was disappointed, as the very smoothly. The first piece of business that came up was the election of a chairman. City Clerk | Sackett occupied the chair and when he called | for nominations ex-Chairman Stenberg arose and nominated Commis: er Willlams in a neat speech. No other nomination was made | and the call of the roll Commissioner | Willlams was unanimously elected. He took whole proceedings passed on | the chair and made a few remarks, in which he expressed his appreciation of the honor paid him. Chairman Williams announced that the committees of the board would be composed as_follows: Financ Judiciary Court Stenberg.

Hull and William Asquith, Each of the com- missioners made a speech When the ballot was taken, was_elected, for Hull. A report from the Soldiers' Relief commis- sion for the past year was read. There have been 198 families cq for his favorite, however, Asquith recelving three votes, to two d for, which was an increase of thirty-two over the preceding year. The expense was Sixteen old soldiers, five soldiers’ wives and two minor children were buried. Twenty soldiers were sent to the soldiers’ home: Grand Island and Leavenworth. The expense for physicians' services was $6 drugs, $395.62; undertakers’ services, interments, $148; coal, $1,041.65; prov and incidental expenses, $2,471.24. The port stated that only one-half of the levy had been expended, the first time that such a thing had happened at this time of the year since the institution of the commission. The commission had attempted to persuade as many old soldiers as it could to go to the home, but it s overcrowded and but few more ‘could be accommodated, The finance committee, the chairman of which was Mr. Stenberg, failed to present the re- estimate for the expenses for the coming year. Some of the commissioners stated that the board must make this estimate, this being the first meeting of the board, as the law so provided. Stenberg made a motion that the board go into committee of the whole to consider this, which was done. On reconvening, after a recess of thirty min- utes, the following estimate was submitted and approved: General fund, $250,000; road fund, $60,000; bridge fund, $30,000; sinking fund, $60,000; soldiers’ relief fund, $9,000; total, $409,000. A number of bonds were approved, includ- ing (hat of County Attorney Baldridge and Commissioner Stenberg. Applications for the position of county agent were received from J. W. Kincaed and J. C. Ish. A petition was received from the Knights of Labor indorsing Fred Bugbee for the positfon. A communication was read from the Typo- graphical union protesting against the ac- ceptance of the bid put in by the South Omaha Printing company for the county printing for the ensuing year. Ed Cone was appointed constable for West Side precinct, to fill the unexpired term of the former official. The chairman was instructed to sign the papers admitting Edgar Whitesides to the Soldiers’ home. A report was read from County Judge Baxter, showing that fees for the year, less the expense of the office, amounting to $2,417.18, had been turned over to the clerk. A number of bills and the appropriation sheet for December were passed. A resolution to publish notices in the Ger- man Tribune was laid over. The old rules were adopted for the coming ear. **A resolution was introduced that the board sit as a committee of the whole to selwct petit jurors. On motion of Stenberg, how- ever, a recess was taken to next Saturday afternoon, and the malter was laid over un- til that time. PR — Shiloh’s Cure is s0ld on a guarantee.
