)l DNESDAY OCTOBER 3( CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS 1098 of Mayor Moores Sustained, One Un sly. PAVEMENT PAY PROPOSITION HELD UP Vacating of Old Coanty Roads Oblige Union Pacific is Ann =Provision Made to Pay & Judgmen At Tuesday night's meeting the city coun- cil unanimously sustained a veto of Mayor Moores destroying that clause in am appro- printion ordinance providing for the pay- ment of $7.000 to the Grant Paving com- pany for its recent labors in repairing holes in the pavement on Sixteenth and other treots At the preceding meeting of the council the ordinance which was the innocent cause of the alficulty was passed. This measure, providihg for the payment ot many bills, was amended to include the cancellation ot this 87,000 paving debt, it being specified that the amount should come from the curb, gutter and paving fund. At that time Comptroller Westberg reported offhand, when questioned, that thers was sufefent 10 this fund to cover the sum, 8o the matter went through on wings. But when the comptroller later got down- stairs in his ofice, where the figures were, he discovered that $443 had just been pald out of the fund for Interest on outstanding warrants. He had forgotten thiy item, and it was enough to cut the balance down to $6,686.00, several hundred dollars less than the bill pald. Mr. Westberg at once notified Mayor Moores and the veto of Tuesday night re- #ulted. 8o the Grant Paving company will not now get Its money through the regular channnls of the city's business till the m: ter can be run through on another appro- priation, Second Veto A second veto was sustained, though by a cloge vote. This one operated to annul the ordinance passed at the previous meeting which vacated the old courty road known as “B-50," running north out of Omaha. Mayor Moores said that this attempt was chiefly to pleaso the Union Pacific Rallway company, and that railway already had sev- eral other similar matters before the coun- cll which were still unsettled. Councilman Hascall differed from this veto, saying that the city was trying to settle with the Unlon Pacific all land differ- ances d get all titles quieted. In this case, sald he, the road has given an ade- quate equivalent, and the title of the prop- erty constituting the road was of most doubtful and shady origin, anyway. Three other members held with Mr. Hascall, but although Messrs. Hoye and Lobeck were ab- sent the combined strength of the opposi- tion was not sufficient to carry the measure over the veto. In concurrence with a recommendation of the park commissioners that the clalm should be allowed, it was voted to give J. Leverton $100 from the general fund payment for a horse of his which was killed ‘while working at Miller park. Repaving of Twenty-second street from Dewey to St. Mary's avenue will be resumed. The councll adopted the report of the ju- diclary committee, which looked up the flaw In the petition, and recommended the continuation of the work. An ordinance providing for the repaving of Harney street between Fifteenth and Twentleth streets, with the exception of the Sixteenth street intersection, was passed on third reading. Asphalt will be used. Provision to Pay Jadgm Provision was made for paying the judg- ment of Alfred T. Richardson against the city for sewer construction dome in 1891. The judgment and interest amount to $4,916.10. Of this $3,897.37 will be pald by the levy provided for by a special ordinance. The balance of $1,017.73 will be taken from the neral fund. According to a report submitted to the eounctl the repaving district on Twenty- elghth street from Farnam to Leavenworth street is now ready for business, as a ma- fority of the frontage has been secured in signatures. The total frontage s 3,172.5. Namies representing 1,925 feet of t e on a; petition and this leaves a margin of .7aver the majority. The vitrified brick paving on Howard street from Twentleth to & point 80 feet west, having proved satisfactory under the one-year guaranty, the council voted to allow the contractor, W. P. Mumaugh, the 45 per cent reserve retained. This amounts to 1. ned. By a unanimous vote the Union Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rallroad companies were granted a time extension of one month In which to finish the Twenty- fourth street viaduct. This sets the limit at November 1. The rallroads excused tho ay by stating that difficulty kad been rienced in getting the material. L e council will hold a special at 10 o'clock Friday morning to pas salary appropriation ordinance, CATHOLIC FAIR IN PROGRESS of En ot St Church. wsion the 8.

Booths are arranged about the walls and the stage s artistically draped. The fair will continue until November 3. Every evening a mus! cal program will be given. Last night the program opened with a musigal farce in which Sarah Bernhardt and a number of other celebrities were in- troduced. After the opening skit, Peter Boleen sang “Carry Me Back to Old Vir- giny.”" The program closed with a sketch by Stella Mulvihill, Mary Kennedy, Ther- ese Switt and P. J. McGough.

A company of business men of this city, representing a lurge aggregate of capital, is planning to establish a market place in Omaha and erect buildings thercon at & total cost of not to exceed $400,000, This information created a considerable stir among councilmen, who learned it for the first time yesterday morning. Coming as it did on the eve of the time when they were to consider the ordinance providing for vas | cating the proposed site on Jackson street the news enhanced to a great degree the excltement already In the wind over that move. . Organization of the corporation which would bulld and conduct the market place Is not complete. It it were, the proposition would have been broached to the city long 480, but as matters stand it is not ex- pected that any formal communication will reach the council for several days. One more week still remains before the council can do anything final in re- gard to a publicly owned market, and the private parties who are engineering the counter-proposition will use all the time they can get. Names of the chiet promoters are known, but till they make a move toward the council in carnest of the fact that their plans have carried success- fully members of the council do not care to disclose their identity, The scheme, as outlined, is distinctly a business investment. The organization plans to own the site and to own the bulldings, which are intended to be vast and adequate in every particular. Then regular rentals will be charged for the use of space and stalls. ““The cost of the en- tire thing might not exceed $200,000," sald one of the leaders, “but it will probably &0 much higher than that Councilmen find many flaws in the scheme. In the first place, it will be beyond them, for they have mot the power to bestow upon this organization the mecessary franchise. That must be done, under the present char- ter, by a vote of the people. This will delay the work and hinder the completion of the market considerably. Then most of the aldermen agree that it owned by a private concern the rentals which the people who use the market will be compelled to pay will be on a scale con- siderably higher than that which the city would establish were it conducting the place, On the other hand, it 1s urged that it these parties get the franchise they will hustle the work and finish It immediately, #0 that Omaha will have a flne market much sooner after all than the city can pos- sibly get It. The plan of the council is to buy the site mow and then erect merely temporary stalls for a year or so, postpon- iog the building of the permanent market til there is some money with which to do it The ordinance relative to the market place, which Mr. Hascall introduced night at the council meeting, was pre- pared by City Attorney Conmell and reads as follows: An ordinance declaring the necessity of appropriating certain private property and lots for the use of the city of Omaha for market places and providing for the ap- pointment of three disinterested free- olders of said city to assess and deter- mine the damage to the owners respect- iwvely of the property and lots taken by such appropriation. Be it ordained by the city council of the city of Omaha: That It Is necessary and it 18 hereby declared necessary to appropri- ate for the use of the city of Omaha for the purpose of market piaces and for the purpose of jerecting and establishing market houses and market places thereon for the accommodation, convenience, use and benefit of said eity ‘and the public the following described property, lots and real estate, situated within sald city of Omaha, in the county of Douglus, state of Nebraska, as described as follows, towlt: Lots one’ (1), two three (3), four (1), block one hundred and séventy-five (%), In the city of Omaha, as surveved and ' shown by the generaily recognized lithograph maps of safd city.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Treasurer Keutsky Worried Over Present Condition of Uity Finanees SHY AT THE NEW YORK FISCAL AGENCY City's Neglect in Providing for Pay- ment of Intereat and plications Make Eastern Bond Buyers Wary=City News. Clty Treasurer Koutsky I8 worried over the present condition of the city's finances There is due at the state fiscal agency in New York on November 1 $17,000, and all that the city can send at this time is $6,000 taken from the interest fund. An effort was made a few days ago to borrow money from the banks to meet this obligation, but as the council has neglected to provide a sinking fund the banks have declined and 80 the maturing bonds will have to go by default It is true that the maturlides up to No- vember 1 have been Included in the bond Issue recently authorized, but as the bonds have not been sold there is, consequently, no revenue from this source. An effort was made some time ago to sell these securities, but as no bidders re- sponded the council appointed a committee to see what could be done with the lssue at private sale. Several bond buyers have been approached, but without result. The city 1s desirous of securing a premium, but this is out of the question now. Some of the city officers are willing to let the bonds o at par, but still there are no takers. By deducting $6,000 from the interest fund at this time there remains only a little over 2,000 with which to pay interest for the coming elght months. Eastern buyers have declined to purchase the bonds on account of the city's neglect in providing for payments on coupons when due and because of the legal complications. A majority of the issue Is for improvement districts which have been declared illegal by the courts. These bonds the city now wants to take up with general indebtedness bonds, but even these do not sell. More than likely a special meeting of the finance committee will be held this week to consider this matter. This Market Popular. There was another big run of sheep at the yards yesterday. On Monday nearly 20,000 head arrived and were sold rapidly and yesterday 15,000 head were yarded. The shipments were snapped up by buyers as fast notes of the sales could be made. Packers are bidding good prices for sheep Just now and from indications the supply will be kept up for some time to come. Shippers are entirely satisfied with the prices paid and the treatment aecorded by stock yard managers and commission men. diict WHII Be By “It's all right,” sald an officer of the Union Stock Yards company yesterday, “‘to talk about dope factories and so forth, but the fact remains that the question of build- Ing a viaduct across the tracks to the stock yards is now being seriously considered. Just when the work will commence cannot be stated at this time, but from present indications it will not be long before some definite information on the subject will be made publie.” More than this, it is understood that the Hammond people are insisting that a via- duct of some sort be constructed in order that their facilities for handling meats may be increased. Omclal Red T Owing to the red tape mow necessary to secure an order for supplies needed the city clerk has been compelled to write out death certificate blanks on a typewriter. The same thing s being done with regis- tration rolls. Under the recent ruling of the council all requisitions for printing must now be made by heads of departments and read to the council. The requisition is then referred to the printing committee and all orders for stationery must be signed by two members of the committee and then reported back to the council. As the clerk’s supply of the blanks mentioned is exhausted, the typewriter has been called into requisition. This state of af- fairs will keep up until the council gets ready to order the blanks needed. Rowdies Deatroy Property. Complaint was made to Mayor Kelly yes- terday that rowdles persist in loafing about the school bullding at Twentieth and L streets. Monday Hight a gang of twenty or more loafers broke in the door of the school and tore up a number of books. Tho mayor asserted that he would station an officer in that vicinity for a time and en- deavor to break up the gang. Racquet Store Closes. Yesterday forenoon J. L. Barnett, pro- prietor of the Racquet store, at 2410 N street, closed the doors and posfed a no- tice to the effect that the stock was in charge of the United States district court. It 1s understood that Mr. Barnett has mede an application to be declared a bankrupt by the court. Hammonds Continue Busy. Yesterday the Hammond company com- menced shipping beef to Chicago, aud it is expected that this will continue for some time to come. On the first day the plant was opened 300 men were given employ- ment. With the increased run of cattle yesterday about fifty additional men were put to work. The hoghouse is about ready for active operations. Superintendent Felch expects to commence the slaughter- ing of hogs on next Monday morning. Repablican Rally. A republican rally will be held at Mod- ern Woodmen hall, Twenty-fifth and N #treets, on Suturday night. This meeting will be under the auspices of Swedish- American Republican league No. 2.

CLUBS County Thirteenth IN JOINT SESSION Commissioner Ostrom T Voters How the Democrats Ralded The Joint meeting of the German-Amer- fean Republican club, the South Side Re- publican club and the Second Ward Repub- lican club, held Tuesday night in Krug' hall, 1836 Vinton street, was well attended. Representative speakers discussed all phases of republicanism. Councilman Frad Hoye presided. Candidates 'Battin, Prichard, Edquist, Hunter, Vinsonhaler, Unitt and Berka opened the meeting with short speeches, which were well recelved. County Commissioner Henry Ostrom pre- sented facts and figures showing why the affairs of the county should be again placed under republican control. “‘During the last five years,” said he, “'I have been a mem- ber uf the county board, the first two years being with a republican majority. Until three years ago the county funds were suf- ficient to pay everything the county owed to within a month or so of the close of the fiscal vear. Now the county is compelled to stop payment in August, several months before the close of the fiscal year, and lssue interest-bearing warrants. It would take not less than $125,000 to place the county treasury in the same condition it was three years ago, before the democrats raided it. “The road fund was practically exhausted in July and the money has gone to keep gangs at work in various precincts for the political purposes of the democrats. There are a great many of these small gangs, each bossed by a man who gets $4 a day for doing nothing. ‘At the present time there is not a fund, with the single exception of the bridge fund, from which a dollar can be paid for work performed. The condition is such that next year's levy is exhausted before it is even made. The payment of all salaries will have to be stopped January 1 or not later than February 1, “You will realjze what democratic extra- vagance Is when you are called upon In the near future to vote for $125,000 or $150,000 of funding bond: Fred Bruning, candidate for county com- missioner in the Second district, was next introduced. He sald he would do what he could, if elected, to clear away the demo- atle wreck, but could not promise to undo all the damage they had done in one short term. Judge Baker made one of his characterls- tie speeches, which was heartily applauded. In referring to a recent newspaper criticism he sald: “They say it's bad for judges to talk politic it is, but I belleve that when I'm on the at least, I can and do disregard politics absolutely. I've sent a great ‘many fellows to the peni- It may be that they were demo- 'm sure I don’t know—but perhaps that's the reason for these attacks. A man has a right to tell the reason for the faith that is in him, and I propose to do so re- gardless of criticisms from such sources as these.” Judge Estelle followed and gald: ““There has been some criticism about certain Judges dragging the judicial ermine in the mud of politics. I disbelieve just as much as anyone in doing that. It cannot be sald and I hope it may never be said of me that 1 use my judicial position for political pur- poses. I earned my right to talk to tho people on public questions ig ‘62 and I pro- pose to talk whenever and wherever I please. As long as republicanism appeals to me it does now and always has I pro- pose to talk republicanism. I am a repub- lican because the history of the country the advance guard of civilization and pros- perity. The democratic party is just ten years behind the timés. A. C. Troup and Candidates Bodwell, Alt- stadt, Homan, Steiger and Christie also spoke. Simply Discuss Registration. A number of Eighth ward republicans met at Woodman hall, Twenty-second and Cuming streets, last night. There were no” candid present and no speechmak- ing. The members present discussed the registration and revised the list of vote: names in each precinct who have not reg: istered.
