THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6 1903 GOVERNORAND WATER BOARD Oity Attorney Believes Law for Btate Appointment is Unconstitutional SAYS IT VIOLATES RIGHT TO HOME RULE is of the Provi- Purthermore, City Attorney Opinfon that Bi-Partisan wion i in Nature of Class Legisiation. That the governor's appointment of a Doard of water commissioners under the Howell bill, at this time would be uncon stitutional s the opinion of City Attorney Connell, who sald yesterday morning “The gentlemen whose names have been mentioned in this connection are among our best citizens, and undoubtedly well qualified for the duties of members of such & board, but in my opinion their appoint- ment at this time by Governor Mickey would be premature and absolutely without authority of law. The pretended authority 1s claimed to be given by sections 6 and 6 of Howell's water works bill. In the first place I do not thjnk the governor can be empowered to appolnt.-a water board for the city of Omaha, as his act in that behalt would be an usurpation of the power that can only be exercised by the inhabitants of the city. By this I mean the right of the people to local self-government and to | control their own aftairs and expenditures, especially those that do not relate to the maintenance of peace and good order in | which presumably the entire state has an interest. Considers It Class Lexislation. In the second place, the provision con- tained in the Howell bill requiring the governor to select the members of the water board from the two political parties casting the greatest number of votes for governor at the last preceding general elec- tion would rule out from consideration by the governor every person—no matter how desirable or competent—who did not hap- pen to belong to the republican or demo- cratfe party. In fact, it would rule out every persop who falled to register as a re- publican or' a democrat. I believe this is an_injustifiable and unconstitutional at- tempt to discriminate between citizens and 1s in. the nature of class legislation “In the third place, I consider that under the express terms of the Howell bill the action of the govornor in appointing mem- bers of the proposed water board at this time would be premature and unauthorized. The Howell bill provides that In ‘each city of the metropolitan class which owns and operates a municipal water plant, or which has heretofore voted or may hereafter vote bonds for the construction or purchase of ® municipal water plant,’ there shall be a water board of six members. Bond Vote of 1500, “It 18 mot claimed or pretended that Omaha now either owns or operates a municipal water plant. The only pretense of authority for now appointing members | of a water board is that the city has here- tofore voted bonds for the ‘construction or purchase’ of a municipal water plant. This contention Is based upon the vote of the People at the election of 1900 under the provisions of ordinance 4091, containing a proposition to authorize the issuance of bonds for the ‘appropriation or purchase’ of a municipal water plant and land there- tor. “The proposition contained in ordinance 4691 1s not for the ‘comstruction or. pur- shase’ of a water works plant, as contem- plated by the Howell bill, but is for the ‘appropriation or purchase’ of a water works plant, and s based on a then existing law which authorized the mayor and city coun- 1l to determine the mode of acquiring the water works, and to declare the necessity ot acquiring the same by condemnation pro- seedings under what {s known as the right of eminent domaln. This is the only safe or proper way for the city to acquire the water works plant. Even under the Howell bill the right of the city to acquire the water works plant by this method Is rec- gnized. To now appoint the members of @ water, board ‘would be adding the fifth wheel to a coach. It would serve no useful purpose. The members of the board and | the superintendent, until the water works plant is acquired, would have aothing to #o but draw their salaries. to be especlally designed to enable the su- perintendent %o do this, commencing at ence and ending indefinitely.” No Levy for W Speaking of the effect of senate file 1 upon the former power of the council to er Fand make & levy for the purposes of the water | tund Mr. Conbell said: “The council cannot now legally make any such levy. The Howell bill amends a mumber of sections of the charter and among others section 138, relating to the annual levy of taxes for municipal pur- poses. Speclal mention is made of each fund, and the limit of the levy for each fund {s stated. Among the other funds for which & levy was authorized under the section prior to the passage of the Howell water works bill was the water fund, as tollows: ‘For providing a fund for paying tor water for fire purposes and for public use, $100,000.' This provision is completely eliminated and dropped out of the charter by the amendment.” POWER TO PU_DEHASE REMAINS Supreme Court Reafirms Deciston in the 'Popplet Water Works Case. The city of Omaba still stands with power to purchase the water works under contract st any-time it wishes now, and at the same time it bas no power to secure the 200 extra hydrants desired until such purchase is made. This 1s the result of a decision just handed @own by the supreme court of Nebr: which was roafirmed the decision of some years ago rendering permanent the Popple- ton Injunction agalnst the city counell This injunction restrains the couneil from extending the time of purchase under con- tract five years, or from 1903 to 1908. E. M. Fairfigld, manager of the Omaha Water company, recelved telegraphic infor- mation frym Lincoln yesterday to the effect that this reafirmation had just been banded down. The case started in 1598. At that time the contract between the city and the water company read for twenty-flve years, with the addition that the city might purchase the works after twenty years it desired. The contract dated from 1883. An ordinance was Introduced providing for tak y that privilege of purchase ==—'¢ No Dessert More Attractiv: better results in two minutes? in the package.

This tribunal also afirmed it and a rehearing was se- cured and begun last spring, with yester- day’s result. MUST HAVE FIRE ESCAPES Building Inspector Will Appeal to Court, 1t Neces ¥, to Enforce Law. fome time ago Buflding Inspector Carter undertook the enforcement of the law and ordinances requiring adequate fire escapes on all hotels and flat bulldings and he has now extended his efforts to the huan‘!l‘ housps and other public buildings. | Among these is the block, the five-story | office building on the corner of Sixteenth ‘nnrl Dodge streets, to which the attention of Mr. Carter was directed at the time of the recent fire in Rose's art store. Mr. Carter and Deputy Labor Commissioner Watson ordered fire escapes on this build- ing at the time of their inspection last summer, but the matter has never recelved attention. Now the building inspector has ordered that the improvement be made at | once and intends to see that it is done even if he has to go to the courts for as- sistance. Mr. Carter has approved the fire escapes recently placed upon the new buflding ot the Bemis Omaha Bag company, which he says is now the best equipped of any busi ness block in the city, and also those on the Windsor and Iler Grand hotels. The con- tract has been let for fire escapes on the Merchants hotel in conformity with the directions of the bullding inspector and work will be begun this week. Contracts have been let for the mew work on the Paxton annex and the Thurston hotel. Mr. Carter says the proprietors of two hotels heve refused to comply with his require- ments as to fire escapes and he intends, | after he has allowed them reasonable time, to appeal to the courts for assistance, THREE INFANT INDUSTRIES | New Corporations Formed in Omaha to Conduct Manufactur- ing Clants. This s a prolific time for the organiza- tion and establieliment of infant industries in Omaha. Yesterday there were filed with the county clerk articles of {ncorpora- | tion for three manufacturing concerns and tor one realty company. The Seattle- | Omaha Mineral Soap company, with author- 1zed_capital of $300,000, was incorporated by C. F. Robertson, R. A. Willison, A. J. Calvert and L. S. Thomas, to make soap and pastes. Thurman Huston, Herman Haneen and Allen W. Jomes incorporated the Central Manufacturing company for 50,000, to make mop pafls and wringers. A. L. Patrick, H. L. Willson and L.

At the meeting of the tax committee of the Real Estate exchange yesterday it was reported that the outlook for the mass meeting Friday might is bright. T. J. Ma- honey will preside at the meeting and ad- dresses will be made by Herman Kountze Edward Rosewater, G. M. Hitchcock, James H. McIntosh, W. M. Bushman and others, It is expected that time will be glyen for anyone present to make a short talk on the tax subject. A number of théymembers of the Douglas county legistative delegation have expressed their intention of being present, and it may be that an expression will be secured from some of them. It is believed that the meeting will fill the hall, as members of the tax committee say there is great Interest in the affair. AFTER DEALERS IN CAST-OFFS ¥ e Declde to Ferret Out Certaln Practices of Junk Shop Proprietors. The police are preparing to round up the pawnshop, second-hand and junk ehop pro- prietors within the next few days. Many complaints have come to the attention of the police that property which was stolen and bore excellent marks of identification had been eagerly bought by some of the above dealers who did not show much alac- rity In assisting the police in the recovery of the property. That property fs being secreted is the opinion of the officers. Cases have been brought to light whera dealers have bought property every day in the week from the same man, giving the stranger a different alias In the reports sent to the chief's ofice.

The Increase in sales for the year 1902 over 1001 was 367,116 bottles, a record never before at- tained In the history of the champagne trade, marking a galn equal to 564 per cent | greater than the combined increase of all other brands of champagne.

Books Show Are Some e to Pennlt Twe to Ten Thoue sand Dollars. Divines from Ministers of grace, defend yourselves! The records of the county court of Douglas county indicate that if the law were taken In hand and vigorously enforced against you, one of you, a priest, would be liable to fines aggregating $10,000; that another, & Bouth Omaha divine, would be subject to fines aggregating $3,000; that still another, a rabbi, would be subject to fines aggre- gating §2,600, and that several more of you would be subject to fines aggregating so much that of your year's salary there would remain not enough to buy onme frock coat. And incidentally it might be shown that, inadvertantly, of course, you had been the means of depriving widows of money due them and children of their legacles, to say nothing of the embagraassment of innocent persons. To state it briefly, the sum and substance of your offending is your failure to return to the county judge’s office, properly certi- fled, your statement that persons have been married by you. Unless you do this there can be no complete record of a marriage having been performed and in years to come litigants over an estate may be left without foyndation for a claim really bona fide and correct. Form of Licensce. Every roarriage license issued in Douglas county reads: To any person legally authorized to sol- emnize marriages, greeting: _You are hereby authorized fo jolp in the holy bonds of matrimony, and to clebrate witjin this county the rftes and ceremonies of mar- riage between and and_this shall be your good and sufficlent warrunt and you are required to return this license to me within three months from the cele- bration of such marriage, with the cer- tificate of the same appended thereto, and signed by you, under the penalty of $500. In witness' whereof I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this — day of — A. D, 18—, County Judge. Directly under this license s the ocer- tificate which the minister or magistrate s required to fill out and return, ‘‘under penalty of $500.” It reads: Be it remembered that at ——— in sald county, on day of , 10—, Mr. - . residing at . aged —; and M— ———, residing at -, aged —, were duly ‘Joined in marriage by me, in presence of — , residing at . ‘and residing at . In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand this —— day of 5 No Record Bxists. Until this return is made the marriage record 1s not written and there is on file nothing but the stub in the license book indicating that leave has been given two persons to be married; nothing to prove that such ceremony ever has been per- tormed. The stub, however, bears the name of the minister or magistrate named by the groom | as the one he intended to have officiate, and 80 the responsibility of the Omahans who are derelict s the dereliction is an oversight in every case, but lawyers in an estate case ask nothing better than such “oversight” and costly tangles are woven on less than such as these. Even now there is a case in point, about to be commenced in the local courts, and an expected result is that min- isters will find themselves urged to hunt among their archives for the certificates they have falled to return or have allowed contracting partles to carry away with them. The fact that the groom gets the certificate and holds it does not relieve the minister after the three months have elapsed. THINKS HE HAS RIGHT MAN Chief Donahue pects Connolly of Complicity in O'Neill Sa- loon Robbery. The fact that there were blood stains on the broken window in O'Nelll's saloon at Sixteenth and Cuming streets, through which burglars entered, and also that a man named Connolly, who has been ar- rested by the police, had one of his hands sut and blood-stained at the time he was takea Into custody, leads Chief Donahue to belleve that he is one of the men wanted. In addition to this, his pals, Steve Horton and Ed McKenna, who are now in custody, were identified yesterday ‘by the owner of a restaurant on Sixteenth and Izard streets as the men whom he saw coming from his basement. After McKenna is sald to have left the place & search w ade and on a rafter was found a bag of 'old coins which is thought to have been stolen trom the O'Nelll saloon. The men will be arraigned Friday before Judge Berka. STERILIZED BARBER SHOP. A Famous Shop in the Carroliton Hotel, Baltimore, Maryland, The barber shop in the Carroliton hotel, Baltimore, sterilizes everything it uses in the shop. The sterilizing is done by heat. The towels, the razors, the strops, the soap, the combs and brushes are all steril- fzed before being used on a customer. Where there is no sterilization, have the Herplicide. It kills for the scalp, and for the face after shaving. All leading barbers everywhere appreciate these potent facts about Herpicide and they use it. “Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.” Announcements of the Theaters. While it is usually conceded that Eng- lishmen have very little sense of humor and that as far as an American joke s concerned, when told to one of King Ed- ward's subjects, a diagram should be fur- nished in every case, still it must be ae- knowledged that Englishmen can and do write and compose the best musical com- edies. They seem to go at It much more systematically in Enpgland than in this country, for instance, as in the case of “San Toy," which comes to the Boyd to- night, Saturday matinee and night.
