University of Nebraska students partment had been able to get their trucks through the traffic difficul ties, it was found that the fire had originated in the basement of the structure. The fire apparently had been caused by a battery charter and as the basement was filled with many empty boxes and papers it was diffi cult to handle, dense smoke making it hard for the firemen to combat the blaze. Large holes were knocked in the side of the brick basement and which permitted the firemen to get water playing on the fire and soon getting it under control and prevent ing it spreading over the entire house. The smoke damage will be quite heavy, but it is fortunate the building was not destroyed as the fire had a good start and only the hard work of the firemen prevented more damage.

Henry Jasper, assistant chief and acting head of the department, was at the meeting to discuss the matter of traf fic at the Edwards fire Monday after noon. The truck had been delayed by a great many cars that had gone on out and it was several minutes later than ordinary in reaching the scene, one car or truck cutting in front of the fire truck and making it necessary to stop. When they had reached the fire it was found to be hard to handle and the delay had made it more so by allowing the fire to spread. He urged that something be done to enforce the state law In regard t right of way of fire equip ment. Several of the councilmen stated that the siren could be heard at long distance and no reason why the right of way could not be cleared.. On motion of Councilman J. fi Sohutz, of the fire and water commit tee, a resolution was adopted asking motorists when hearing the approach of the fire trucks to drive over to the right of the road aj far as pos sible, park and wait for the passing of the equipment, also not to park cars in the vicinity where a fire is In progress, but leave the way open for the firemen and lines of hose. City Attorney J. Howard Davis read sections of the old traffic ordi nance that provided that the fire equipment and department had full use or the street in time or nre, that traffic was required to draw to the right curb and remain inac tive until after the passing of the equipment. The ordinance provided for a fine of not less than $1 or more than $50 for the violation of the ordinance and also the cost of the case. The ordinance will be enforced In the future if further cases of in terfering with the firemen is reported. Mayor Lushinsky reported that the board of health had been busy in try ing to get the Monroe building fixed up, that the owner had agreed to make what changes needed, but get ting the occupant out of the build ing was proving a real problem for the owner.

So far there had been no rentals. Chairman Tippens of the streets. alleys and bridges committee, report ed that street work was all well cared for but that the workers had been busy in removing leaves from tiles after they had been raked Into waterways by those residing nearby or allowed to blow in and obstruct the sewers in cases of accident. On motion of Councilman Webb the parks and improvement commit tee was authorized to go ahead and secure the repair of the floor in the lower part of the city hall where the firemen are to have a club room and meeting place soon. Mayor Lushinsky explained that the Chicago avenue sewer project was approved and as soon as rock could be secured would be ready to start working on. It would require 4,000 yards of rock at six cents a foot for the chief material cost. The engi neers had wanted to start the work at the north end of the project near Pearl street, but the mayor and most of the councilmen urged the start at the south end so that it would not j interfere with the avenue near as much as otherwise. The sewer will extend from the present culvert at Chicago and Patterson avenues, on north to follow the present old creek and at Tenth street will meet the present opening of the sewer and the new branch then continued north to Pearl street It will be a five foot sewer.
