AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMARA Watohmen at Grade Orossings Get Some Attention from Railroads. — COUNCIL BOUND TO HAVE PROTECTION Ordinance to fover Point Wil Be Passed and Enforced Without Fear or Favor, Say the Councilmen. At the meeting of the city council on mext Monday night an ordinance will be introduced requiring the rallroads passing through South Omaha to maintain watch- men at grade crossings. It is asserted by members of the council that not long ago a request was made of the raliroads to place watchmen at cross- ings In the business portion of the city. The request was refused, the rallroad offi- clals c'alming that the city had no right to make any such request. When this re- Ply was receved the councilmen got their heads together and looked over the ordi- nence book. It was found that no ordi- nance was in existence regulating such mptters. Councilman Broderick has se- ocured the passage of a motlon directing the city attorney to prepare an ordinance lJocating a watchman at every grade cross- ing within the limits of South Omaha. If the ordinance is drawn as the motion di- wects and is passed the rallroads will be compelled to employ quite a number of men to guard their grade crossings. No particular crossings are mentloned, as the motion directs the city attorney to include all grade crossing There {s another ‘demand to come, and that is the placing of electric lights at all erossings. This matter s to be looked into @fter the ordinance compelling the placing of watchmen s passed and signed by the mayor. Members of the councll in the clty #ay that they propose to see that the ordi- nance governing watchmen at grade cross- ings is passed. Laying Crosswalks, As s00n as the material can be secured a number of crosswalks will be laid in dif- ferent parts-of the city and repairs will be made to walks. At the last meeting of the councll the members of that body re- quested the laying of a large number of crosswalks and Mayor Koutsky stated that Be was in favor of having the street de- partment do this work just as soon as pos. sible. It will be necessary first to ob- tain & report from the street and alley committes on the resolutions. This report will be handed in next Monday night, and it will favor the laying of the crosswalks included in the resolutions. The mayor and counctl seem to favor the idea of getting crosswalks laid as carly this fall as pos- sible, in order to prevent the necessity of digging up hard ground later in the sea- sen. Quite a sum is to be expended in the laying of crosswalks and the repairs of sidewalks this fall. Correction of Figures.

Mr. Howe reports that he has sconstant inquirfes for tax statements due October 1 This Mr. Howe cannot furnish at this time, as the 1803 taxes are not due until October 1.

President Steiner responded to the ad- | dresses, saying in part: “Our conventions differ very materially from other conventions. The sheriffs and thelr assoclates are unlike many other for|they have mot the same sub jects for consideration. Our meetings are not so much for the transaction of bus ness as for the purpose of the mMembers becoming acquainted with each other. The subjects discussed at our meetings are usually those pertaining to the detention of criminals and their treatment; laws gov- erning sheriffs; salaries, duties~etc. “Crime is on the increase and this being makes. all the more necessary thorough organsation of ‘the officers who have to do battle with the criminal, for as you are well aware, some branches of the class are very thoroughly organized and can kedp the officer guessing as to the best way to bring the criminal to justice. As a matter of fact no officer has as much to contend with as the sheriff and more is expected from him than from any other officer. It therefore behooves us to get to- gother, discuss matters pertaining to our officlal duties, exchange ideas and thus become better fit to meet the expectation of our constituents.
