TTIF OHA“A DA"T BEE: THU RQDAY, MARCH 5, \\ ATER BOARD 1S URH\IZLD Latest Addition to Omaha's Government Has Taken on Formal Life. JAMES E, BOYD ITS FIRST CHAIRMAN Matter of Naming a Commissioner- Seeretary and Choosing an Ap- praiser Left for m Fature Session. Six of Omaha's most dlstinguished, in- cludinig some of the most wealthy, citiz went to work for the city last night at $50 a month each and organized themselves as the first Water board. They were selected by the governor to control and operate the first water works plant and system owned by Omaha, after they have assisted in ac- quiring it. An utter lack of feature char- acterized the first meeting, which was wit- scd by Albert C. Wells, agent for the surety company that bonded the members, a newspaper photographer and two news- paper -reporters. 51 1t v'as held in cotncil committee room C on the second floor at the city hall, which the councll had designated as temporary quarters for the board. Apart from the fact (hat ilumination had been provided, there was no sign that a new department of city affairs was to be organized Former Governor James E. Boyd was elected chairman, Isaac E. Congdon tem- porary secretary, the hour for meetings fixed at 3:30 in the afternoon and a recess taken until that hour Saturday, March 28. The latter action was done as a matter of precautfon, so that all points of law might be complied with. John F. Coad was the first member of the board to arrive. He came at 7:40, sat down and lit a cigar. Five minutes later Isanc E. Congdon and former Governor Boyd appeared climbing the stairs and joined him. Guy C. Barton came under the wire a few minutes before the 8 o'clock bell sounded, while Milton T. Bar- low was just late enough to be late. T. J Mahoney was fifteen minutes tardy and the Gther members smoked and chatted until he arrived. Meanwhile the agent of the bonding cormpany appeared and presented applications to each member for bonds that have been issued and approved by the mayor and council. Then a staff photo- grapher for The Bee came with his machine and made a negative of the entire board as soon as Mr. Mahoney entered. Setting the Board in Motlon. By common consent the other members appeared to look to Mr. Mahoney to lead them. He did so by moving that Mr. Congdon act as temporary secretary. This motion was seconded by Mr. Boyd and was carried unanimously. Then on motion of Mr. Congdon Mr. Mahoney was made temporary chairman. The temporary chair- man stated that the next business in order would be to appoint a permanent chalr- man to serve for one year. Mr. Congdon made the- motion which provided for the election by ballot. He was named as teller of the vote. Each member of the board took a loose shect of paper on the long table around which they were seated and tore off a scrap, which he wrote upon with pencil drawn from his pocket. Almost instantly the ballots were folded and placed in Mr. Congdon's hands. There were five votes for Mr. Boyd and one ballot was blank. The chairman sald: Gentlemen: I thank you for the favor. It shall ba my purpose and my pleasure to execute the pleasure of the board, knowing that what it does will always be for the best interests of the people of Omaha. Mr. Congdon was then elected temporary cretary of the permanent organization to serve until the commissioner-secretary 1s appointed. The chairman asked whether the first meeting s to be considered the firs( regular meeting and after opinions had been expressed by Members Mahoney and Congdon, the two lawyers on the board, that it would not be deemed the first reg- ular meeting, such was informally agreed. Mr. Barton, by motion, had the time of meeting at regular sesslons fixed at 2:30 n the afternoon, Appointment of Appraiser. The board then discussed the question as to whether or not an appraiser will have to be appointedsbefore the mext regular meei- ing of the council. Mr. Mahoney sald that the board was not bound to appoint the ap- praiser until notice had been received trom the mayor and council to do so, and that in- asmuch as such notice could be served on Jhe board only while It is in ses~ion, and the notice will not come until Thursday, that feature could be arranged later. At the first regular meeting the board Is required to appoint a commissioner-gecre- tary and after the meeting on Marck 28 it will be necessary for the members to nomi- nate before the next regular meeting of the council an appralser to act with an ap- praiser appointed by the water company, and a third to be chosen by the two in de- termining the value of the water plant. The councll may appolnt or reject the water board’s seloction for appraiser as it seos fit. By the motion of Member Mahoney the board touk @ recess until the last Saturday in March. The reporters were excluded and with coples of the Howell-Gllbert law and the city ordinance making arrangement for the acquirement of the water plant, the A PRISONER'FOR LIFE* Offences againet the laws of health are pun- ished rigorously and inevitably by nature.

At the Orpheum there will be a matinee today. The bill has an abundance of com- edy in it, and is well calculated for both women and children, who constitute —the gregter portion of the afternoon attend- ance. In the presentation of the little com- edy, entitled A Daughter of Bacchus,” by Filson and Errol, women, besides being highly entertained, can get a cue to & cure for an inebriate husband. It's rare that Manager Burgess plays one show twice during a season, yet he has given Katherine Willard that privilege be- cause of the very excellent impression she created on theater goers en her first visit here in December in “The Power Behind the Throne,” a romantic drama on “The “Prisoner of Zenda" order. Miss Willard will be seen in the same play at the Boyd tonight for but a simgle performance. The same company will be seen with her. Wright Lorimer heads it, playing the young count. The story of the play tells of the intrigues of a countess, & court favorite, to win the love of a young nobleman who is in love with Aria, impersonated by Miss Willard, the daughtcr of the ecourt musi- clan. The plece is full of sword duels and exciting situations and «climaxes. Mark Hamburg, the planist, played with fine technique and much feeling the con- certo in B flat minor, opus 23, by Tschalk- owski. While no credit should be taken from the planist, much praise should be glven to the instrument he used, for one hears few pianos with such tone and res- onance as this instrument.—New York Press.
