COMMERCIAL CLUB GETS BUSY Making Effort to Force Packers to Storage 'Wa: houses in BI l The executive committee of the Commer- clal club, having falled to induce the South Omaha packing houses to ergct a meat storage bullding in this city from which the local trade might be.supplied, in place of the meat being hauled by wagon from Omaha daily, has taken the matter up with the Kansas City packers. The executive committee took the mat- ter up with the South Omaha packers at the request of the local butchers, but 'the packers claimed ‘that the Council Bluffs trade .could be served cheaper from thelr cold storage houses {n Omaha than from a local cooling bouse. In the first place the South Omaha packers stated that the erec- tion of such a bullding in this city would cost between $20,000 and $30,000 and the difterent houses would each have to main- tain & wagon service here ss well as a force of mren to look after the business. The conference between the executive committee and the representatives 8f the South Omaha packing houses falled of its purpose and now the, executive committee has taken up the matter with the Kans City packers. 1t the Kansa®' City houses will establish a distributing house here it 18 said they, can command the local trade, which now goes to South Omaha.
