In view of the fact that a number of the city f are depleted, a conference of of ficlals was held yesterday to determine what is better 10 under the circumstances But for an inherited overlap of several thousand dollars which was paid ot the 1901 levy there would have been money enough on hand to carry the fire and police departments for several months longer. As t e overlap was paid as soon as the was available in August consequently there is a shortage all around now City Treasurer Koutsky says he will call the overlap warrants when he makes a call the middle of January. This is con sidered to be the right course In order to protect the credit of the city. In order to wipe out the indebtedness it is proposed to submit a proposition to the people at the spring election to vote sufficient to clean up all the overlap and to provide a sinking fund to protect the same when due The overlap at this time amounts to be tween $42,000 and $45,000 and in the opinfon of financiers must be taken care any investments will be South Omaha securities While th rter provides that inde must not bear interest greater than 4 per cent, it 18 asserted that by a vote of the people the bonds proposed can bear any rate of interest. At mich bonds could be sold on long time at thus the city would be re having a large indebtedness hanging over its head. This money last about bonds more made 1o tedness a premium and lieved from constantly matter s council and possibly a meeting of business men will be called to secure opinions of the heaviest taxpayers on the problem. Kelly announced yesterday that at Monday night's meeting of the council an ordinance would be introduced creating a library board to be composed of nine mem- bers. According to the existing laws the mayor appoints and the council Three members are to be appointed for a term of one year, three for two-year terms and three for three-year terms. Then threo members will be appointed each year. As soon ns the proposed ordinance be- s a law the mayor will make his ap pointments. When confirmed by cll the board will meet And organize by the selection ot a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. As no salaries are atached the members of the board will serve for the honor only 18 organized bids will be advertised for a site. Plenty of time will be given bidders to make out their propositions. Only $5,000 can be pald for a site and all bids received must come within this maximum amount. After the board has selected a site the council will proceed with the issue of bonds for the payment of the site. The honds cannot be fssued prior to the agreement for the purchase, as the amount would not be known. Mayor Kelly hopes to secure s site for less than the maximum amount of the bonds In the mattér of appointments the mayor sald yesterday that he proposed to name the four women who had worked bard in the past to maintain the present library. On the mayor list so far are Mrs. C. L. Tal- bot, Mrs. Harriet Lane, Mrs. Josephine Car roll and Mre. W. G. Sloane. In addition to these fivo members are to be named and the intention is to include the professions The mayor thinks that there should be minister, & lawyer, man or two on the board.

The Cudahy Packing company le purchas- ing material for the construction of new train sheds and insulated platforms for the loading of meat cars. Mention was made of this some time ago in The Bee when the project was first suggestedi The plans for the sheds and the insulated platforms were drawn by W. 8. King, chief engineer of the Unlon Stock Yards company. Some changes In the present tracks will have to be made sheds are erected, but be done as soon as the weather will permit the new system of sheds and the in sulated platforms meats for shipment bo removed from the to the cars without going through any marked change of temperature.
