REPAIRS COST LESS THAN AVERAGE Other Citiea Pay More Than South Omaha for Main nk Asphalt In Good Condition at AN Timen. As a geperal thing residents complain about nine months In the year about the condition of the pavement on Twenty-fourth street and the impression prevalls that the expense of keeping this pavement In half way repair is excessive City Engineer Heal has gone into subject of repairing pavements with con- slderable care. He has found by corre. spondence with other cities thut the aver- ago cost of repairing asphalt pavement is about 6 cents a yard; this is counting every | yard of asphalt in the street. On Twenty- fourth street there is about 40,000 yards of asphalt and the average cost of repairing this pavement once a year Is $1,500. This is at the rate of 4 cents per yard. ““The repalrs to Twenty-fourth streef sald Engineer Beal, “have been less than the average pald by other cities, but the street has not been kept In repair all of the time. If the councll would appropriate $2,000 each year for repairs to thé Twenty- fourth street pavement it could be kept in | &0od shape all of the time. Repairs to this pavement should be made in the spring and Dot In the fall, as has been the custom. Then In the fall any holes worn through could be filled and thus maintain & good pavement the year round." Some time ago there was talk of paving this street with brick, laying the brick on top of the asphalt. This would cost not less than $60,000, and the property owners will not sign petitions for such an expendi- ture at this time Just before the cold weather set in the street commissioner filled the holes in the pavement with concrete and the roadway will be In fairly good condition until spring. Owlng to the fact that the annual levy is not available until the middle of the sum- mer repairs cannot be made In the spring | as desired unless some arrangements are made to secure funds temporarily. When the repairs for Twenty-fourth street are considered by the council & sug- gestion will be made that the vitrified brick pavement on L street from Twenty-fifth to Twenty-seventh streets be repaired. Vitir- fled brick can be bought here for $12 per 1,000, and it is estimated that it will not take more than 10,000 new brick to replace the worn ones. The total cost of repairs to this stretch of pavement will scarcely exceed $300. Councilman M Councilman August Miller called at The Bee office yesterday to take exceptions to a statement made in The Bee to the effect that the present administration is not re- sponsible for the present condition of the fire fund. The item in the paper showed that the 1901 levy amounted to $11,842 for fire purposes. Of this eum, when avallable lust August, $5,856 was pald out to take up an overlap from the year before. This cus- tom has been going on for the last elght or ten years. Mr. Miller asserts that the fire department can be maintained on a more «conomical basis. He suggests cutting off three firemen. Then he eays a saving can ler Objects be made by having the men do the laundry work for the fire hall instead of hiring It In addition, a saving in coal could, Mr. Miller says, be made by taking out the stoves on the ground floor of the fire halls It is not & wise thing, “to have eald this member of the council, heat where the Neighhorll Advice.

He evidently forgets that each mem ber of the department spends not less than $100 a year for clothing used in fighting fires for the city. The city furnishes no supplies beyond a house, apparatus and beds, brooms, brushes, etc. Two uniforms a year cost each fireman $60, while rubber boots, coats, mittens, regulation shirts, ete., run the total up to not less than $100 a year. With this reduction it will be seen that firemen are in the clear only $740 a year, while they stand ready at any time to risk their lives for the sake of saving prop- erty. City officials generally will object to | the curtailing of expenses in the fire de- | partment and some provision will be made | for paying the men the balance of the | fscal year. || Packers Need Men. horses are kept The packers are hunting for men to work on the ice flelds. Yesterday afternoon Swift had an agent out hustling for men to go to Ashland to aselst In harvesting the crop of ice. This agent said that Swift could | 8ive employment to forty or fifty men at the present time. Other packers are in the same position. They all want men to work on the ice. At Ashland and Memphls the ice Is beiween nine and ten inches thick, while at Seymour lake it Is about the same. Twelve-inch ice s what the packers want, s they say they can use fce of this thickness to better advantage than when it is thicker. Jetter's pond at Thir- tleth and V streets gave employment to about 100 men yesterday. nd Army Elects Meers. Phil Kearney post, No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic, elected these officers for the coming year at the last meeting: Colonol Fred J. Btter, past commander; John O'Hearn, senlor vice commander; J. T.

She now says that she 15 willing to sign a waiver of damages and there will be no opposition to the is- suing of the bonds to pay for this work, which is nearly completed. The withdrawal of tho remonatrance of Mrs. Galbraith will tend to make the history of the bond clear. Candidates for City Attormey. kes Signed. Local attorneys are showing considerabls interest in the election of a city attorney in the spring. Mr. Lambert, the present | incumbent, has announced that he will not {be a candidate ander any circumstances and the chances are that there will be a lively fight for the place. Under the exist- ing charter the office pays $1,000 a year. Among the republicans who are belng talked of for the place are A. H. Murdock, Henry C. Murphy and A. L. Sutton. The democrats have suggested the names of J. J. Breen and R. B. Montgomery. Under the old charter the city attorney was appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the council. Now the office is an elec- tive one. Syecinl Sidewalk Taxes. On account of the laying of permanent sidewalks on Twenty-fourth street there is now due Contractor Paul Hamil the sum of $1,802. When the council decided to create a permanent district of this street notlce was sent to property owners giving them thirty days in which to lay substan- tial walks. In a great many Instances property owners made thelr own contracts. but in cases of outside property owners the work was done by Hamil and charged for at the rate of 11 cents per lineal foot.

That this interest {8 not merely confined to a few scientific men but is ehared by the general public, is shown by the numerou’s articles In the col the daily papers. Most readers have undoubtedly felt time and again how much more Interesting news of this kind | would be it they only had some tangible | idea of the kind of animal which the fossils represent. To meet the demands for such information Frederic A. Lucas of the United States National museum has written | a popular treatise on the extinct animals | of past geological ages. which he has en Animals of the Past.” In this book he tells some of the Interesting facts con cerning a few of the better known or more remarkable of these extinct inhabitants of the ancient world. Accompanying the text are numerous {llustrations showing the | toesil remains as well as the restored form of the animal. The drawings were made Charles R.

L. C. Page & Co., Bos- ton. Robert Herrick, who will be remembered | as the author of “The Web of Life" as well | as of several other novels, has a new story, | “The Real World,” which s just fresh trom the press. The chief woman in this new world by Mr. Herrick Is the daughter of an Ohio manufacturer and the plot 1s | developed through the story of a young man's life. The underlying fdea s | cternally old; that the world does not exlst | until created afresh for each person. The | way the hero makes his own world forms the pith of the story, the scene of which moves back and forth between the wast and the west. The readers of fiction will find in this story of Mr. Herrick's something | entirely out of the ordinary. Mr. Herrick 1s u strong writer and all his novels are possessed of originality. His “The Web of | Lite" was pronounced especlally strong by the critics, dealt with soeial conditions in the young west and was a most interesting and absorbing story. The motive of the | story in the “Gospel of Freedom," owe of | his best known novels, is that of personal { {ndependence in its appeal, especially to the restless, eager, egotistic woman of our new civilization His new work will be reaa with interest by his many admirers.

As this ac- tlon of the court disposes of the informa- tions, the South Omaha mayor is again free from court entanglement, Mayor Kelly's lawyers argued that two Informations filed against him bribery did not allege a crime under the statutes. The law pertaining to ‘bribery enumerates list of officers who may he | prosecuted for that offense, followed by the | the for words, “‘or any other officer, ministerial or judicial,” but making no mention of “execu- tive" officer County Attorney Shields appeared for the state with the contention that a mayor has | the attributes of both a ministerial and a Judicial officer and Is therefore clearly Within the scope of the statute.
