(ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Lobeck's Resolution for Joint Committee on Eleotric Franchise Fails. ENCOUNTERS OPPOSITION ON BOTH SIDES an Contends (hat Councll Should Try to Shift Responsibility of Settling Question at In to Other 8 oulders, Councilman Lobeck received a rude shock last night in the treatment accorded to the resolution which he believed would fur- nish a satisfactory settlement of the power canal franchise controversy and re- sult in an ordinance that would be satis- factory to all concerned. Instead of being received by the council as the only true solution of the difficulty the resolution met with opposition from all sides. Members of the council who fayor the ordinance as presented by Andrew Rosewater opposed the resolution in the belfef that it was an- tagonistic to his interests and Councilman Hascall, who has most prominently con- tested the acceptance of Mr. Rosewater's ordinance, opposed the Lobeck resolution on the ground that it was framed for the benefit of Mr. Rosewater. And stifl other members of the council objected to the reso- lution on other grounds. Joint Committee in Proposed. This resolution: provided for the appoint- ment of a joint committee to cosist of three members of the Commercial club, three members of the Real Estate exchange and three representative citizens to be ap- pointed by the mayor and the plan proposed was that this joint committee should.frame an ordinance with due regard for the in- terests of Mr. Rosewater and the interests of the city as well. As soon as the resolution made its ap- pearance Mr. Hascall entered his protest against it, criticising the plan proposed in most severe terms. He suggested that whether the resolution had been framed in the interest of Mr. Rosewater or mot it would in its operation have the effect of furthering Mr. Rosewater's ends and pur- poses. Mr. Zimman, who has thus far manifested triendly feeling toward the ordinance as submitted by Mr. Rosewater, declared him- self to be opposed to the resolution for the reason that the people had elected nine men to the city council to represent thelr Interests and those men ehould take the responsibility of deciding such questions as the one now at issue and should not try to shift thelr duty upon the shoulders ot others. ¢ As to Pablic Semtiment. Then referring to the meeting of the pre- vious evening of which Mr. Hascall had had a great deal to say In his remarks, Mr. Zimman sald: ‘“This was to be a citizens® meeting and not a Hascall meeting or a meeting of the judiclary committee of the council. _As it was we had practically no expression from the citizens. Did any rep- resentative man of Omaha express any ob- jectlon to the proposed franchise or has THE OMAHTA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER_ 3 1902 MILWAUKEE'S LARGEST BREWERS Over One Million Barrels of Schlitz Beer Sold in One Year This makes us, by over one hundred thousand barrels, Milwaukee’s largest brewers, and Milwaukee, as you know 1s the most renowned brewing center in the world.

No, I don’t think but we, have heard a great deal from resi- dents of other places as to the impractl- cability of Mr. Rosewater's plans. Now, as to Judge Hascall's proposed amendments, We cool Schlitz Beer in plate glass rooms, and all the air that touches it comes through air filters. his restrietions, as he calls them, I want to say that I think we have too many re- strictions now and too little enforcement. We bave restrictions in the ordinances governing all- of the 'frapchise gorpora- tlons, but none of them 18 observed and the companies are permitted to do practically as they please in spite of us. Lobeck Does Not Insist. After the resolution had been attacked from all'sides and the discussion had sub- sided the president asked Mr. Lobeck if he would' like to speak. He ruefully replied that he did not see much use of talkin What he could not quite understand was that both those in favor of the ordinance and those opposed to it should object so vigorously to.this resolution, but since it appeared to be so generally unpopular he would not try to force its adoption. He wished to say, however, that the measure was introduced by him in good faith. The resolution, when put to a vote, was lost by 6 to 2, Mr. Mount belng absent. The council authorized the city treasurer to sell to Spitzer & Co. of Toledo, at private sale, the prospective issue of $200,000 of | funding bonds at a premium of $3,000. These bouds, as first framed to draw interest at 3% per cent, were advertised for sale with practically no offers. Then on November 27, as 4 per cent bonds, they were again offered, and Spitzer & Co. and ome other firm were the only bidders, the highest pre- mium oftered being $200. These bids were rejected by the city treasurer, who did not believe they were in good falth, and since then Spitzer & Co. have increased their offer to $3,000. Sustains Mayor's Veto. The mayor's veto of a voucher to pay $3 000 1o the clerk of the district court in sat- istaction of & judgment in the case of Rich- ardsod against the city was sustained. In his message the mayor stated that he un- derstood that there was a case now pending thut might have some bearing on this mat- fer, and he would favor waiting at least until the court should mandamus the city officers.

He arrived two days ago from St. Louls and has since been working into his duties. Mr. Morse will not immediately retire from his position, but will coptinue until Mr. Leussler is thor- oughly familiar with the work.

Oue of the Bohemian lodges owns a lot at Twentieth and T streets, but it is proposed that this lot be sold and the money be put into a lot nearer the headquarters of the Bohemlan Turners. There is now over $600 | in the proposed building fund and every meeting increases the amount. Before the week is over it 1s expected that there will be $1,000 in the fund and then arrange- ments will be made for the sale of the present property and the purchase of a new site. As there seems to be plenty of money in sight, the proposed building looks like a sure go. There will be a stage and rooms for lodge meetings.

At the present time the room where the city fathers meet looks more like & delapldated bar room than an execu- tive chamber. Two or three broken chairs are leaning up against the wall and the floor covering is a fit subject for an inves- tigation by the sanitary inspector. Some months ago the council ordered that the room be cleaned and arrangements made for seats for visitors. This has not been dome. It s true that the railing has been moved a tew feet, but no benches have been provided for the public and the chairs in use now are in the last stages of decay.

While the council allowed the appropria- tion of $50 for November salary for Clark Howard, who still calls himself city meat inspector, the mayor declined to sign the warrant and Howard {s going around look- ing for his money. Howard did not pretend to inspect the butcher shops, as he was supposed to do, and therefore he will not carry him on the payroll. As far as Mayor Koutsky is con- cerned the office of city meat inspector has been abolished.

In each of these he carried $2,000 insurance, but allowed both to lapse during the month of July of the present year.

It was r«porlwl that Bushnell was in the toilet room ad- joining the bofler house at the time. He was washing his hands when the explosion occurred. Members of local lodges here do not know whether he carried any eastern insurance. | Boys Break Windows. | Puplls in the public schools are reported to be guilty of throwing pebbles through | windowglyss in school buildings. Slingshots are used and In the territory west of Q street windows in schoolhouses are broken dally by mischievous boys. An effort is to be made to stop this practice, as the con- stant breaking of glass incurs a heavy ex- pense upon the taxpayers. The plan now | is to have officers in citizen's clothes fre- quent the school bulldings for the purpose found destroying eity property. Members of the School board think that if a few arrests are made and the | boys sufficiently punished there will be no | more trouble from this source. Magle City ».
