COUNCIL GIVES UP IN DESPAIR
Various Reports, Financial and Oth
erwise, Received and Consid
ered by the City Dads.
From Tuesday's Dally.
Working short handed as two of
the legislators were not in their
places, the City Council last even
ing went after the work before it in
a way that dmonstrated a desire on
the part of every member present to
get the work done and go home, as
they were not looking for a loafing
place.
After it had been officially ascer
tained that the two solons, Vorndron
of the Third and Harris of the Fifth,
were not present and that the min
utes of the last previous meetng
needed no repairing, they hopped
onto the business of the evening.
The first matter up was the confir
mation of the nomination of Super
intendent G. K. DeWolf, as a member
of the Library Board, to fill the po
sition by the removal of former Su
perintendent W. G. Brooks from the
city. This was done in short order.
While awaiting the report of the
Finance committee, the report of
the Chief of Police was read show
ing two arrests and two cash fines
collected, while the report of the Po
lice Judge 'showed that there had
been two fines assessed, amounting
to $12, with costs equalling just one
half that much, making a total for
the month of $18.
The Finance committee reported
it was ready to offer its statement of
Finances which wass follows:
Bills Paid.
Water Co., hydrant rental $920.00

Then came a policy for insurance
covering the city property, which
showed in the aggregate $185.00 as
premium on the same. This looked
like a large advance, and after dis
cussion the policies and matter of

mittee for investigation and report
at the next meeting, it having bee'n
shown that the former rate -was but
$148.00.

ported that the Nebraska Lighting
company acknowledged they h:t:l
read the meter wrong in the case of
E. B. Thrall, and that was the rea
son the amount apparently piled up
against him at the last. lie also re
ported on the Swoboda matter that
the company stated if Mr. Swoboda
would arrange to have the light line
connected at the other end of the
house, which would save the com
pany 140 feet of wire, they would
furnish the service. In the matter
of Mrs. Stenner's request the com
pany reported they would have to
build two blocks of line to serve and
'ime was asked for in this case.
Councilman Weber said that the
?ompany was reported to have asked
Mrs. Stenner for $20 to connect up
her home, which is already wired.
Considerable discussion was indulged
in as to the looseness of the contract
with the Lighting company and some
were of the opinion that it was no
contract at all. This matter was
finally disposed of by placing the
cases in the hands of the Judiciary
committee and the City Attorney.
Mr. Patterson then brought up
the matter of the payment of inter
est on registered warrants. Somt
time ago warrants were issued draw
ing seven per cent, and were allow-
ed to accumulate interest until such
time as they were paid, when the
interest was also paid. Those of oth
er issue bear only six per cent and
the interest is paid annually. Some
holders of the seven per cent war
rants "desired to know if they could
convert the same into six per cent
warrants and thus receive the inter
est annually. The city attorney was
present and expressed himself as of
the opinion that this could be done,
30 the matter was turned over to the j
Finance committee and the Citj- At
torney to adjust. j
The Coal Situation. i
1
Thon came the matter of coal,
which had been left in the hands of
a special committee. The report of
this committee was made by Coun
cilman Johnson of the Fourth Ward,
he saying: "I interviewed II. A.
Schneider, who told me to go to Om
aha, which I did and interviewed
Kennedy, Loomis and others, who
said they had received no notice of
coal shortage from the Cass county
committee."
When It was made known to Mr.
Kennedy that the coal was wanted
for municipal delivery to the people,
he stated he could do nothing, but
if there was a coal shortage ;n thi? j
city, he would 6ee to it that the
Platt6mouth dealers got their share,
or if the city itself needed it for a
lighting plant or a water pumping
station, it coultalso be secured.
With the presentation of this re
port the city seemed about ready to
go out of the coal business, as they
could not get the goods, but nothing
was done to change their position.
In the matter.
Mayor Sattler called attention to
the condition of the Police fund,
which showed a credit of $857.32,
and suggested that the position of
Assistant Chief of Police be restored
and that Mr. Jones be given $65.00
per month, and not have to collect
from the merchants after February
first. On this motion everyone voted
yes and it was declared carried.
The Delinquent Tax List.
There is a large amount of delin
quent tax due in this city which re
mains uncollected by the county,
and a list of the same which had
been ordered by the council some
time ago, was prepared by the Coun
ty Treasurer and presented at this
meeting. The list showed unpaid
taxes dating back as far as 1866
or over naif a century, in various
amounts. .. The list showed a total

due the city of $6,389.15 divided up
as follows:
Delinquent Taxes $3,254.40
Advertising Expense 167.00
interest Charges 2,907.99
Total Amount $6,3S9.15
On motion it was voted to take
)ver the entire list as presented with
the understanding that nothing
should be paid over until collected,
and just as collected. It was placed
in the hands of the City Attorney
and Judiciary committee with power
to act, to foreclose if necessary, or
adjust in some manner by private
sale or otherwise, in order to get in
this money which the city so much
needs.
There being no further business
of import the august body of city
fathers adjourned until date of the
next regular meeting.
