THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , APEIL 8 , 1891 , VOTING LIKE AUSTRALIANS , Eonth Otnalm Chooses Oity Officers Under the Now Election Law , INNOVATIONS CAUSED DY THE SYSTEM , m Ari-nngoincntH of thn Vootlne Booths nnd tlio Kxcliifllon nf Ward Workers nnd Heelers A Quirt Omaha yesterday had Its first ex- prupnco with the workings of the Austra lian ballot law pawed at the recent session of the legislature. The uvent was the annual spring election , nt Which no city clerk , thrco members of the Council , ono from each ward , nnd two mom hers of the board of education were MS- loctcd Formerly thnro wcro but three voting pro ducts in South Omaha , but to comply with the new law , the city had been redistributed. The liuv apparently giuo entire satisfac tion to nil parties who were desirous of a fair ballot nnd an honest count. Owing t it being n nowthtngaUtho Judges and tlerhs wore inexperienced hands and the machinery was slow in starting , hut shortly nftur o'clock .vaitardny morning the nlno polling phicfs wcro opened and tlio work of dcpo King ballots was commenced. The following diagram will give nn idea of the dimmer In which a voter deposits his bal lot , mid ns nil pollinir plaeos tire the same , a inscription or ono is n description of nil : a a K O a w I A llallothox.

The voter ontura tbo room at II , and nn- nouncoj his naino. Tlio ulorks turn to their lists nnd as soon ns the man's name is found , it la checked oil. The jud.ccs sitting nt the tahlo then pass him n ticket , on the back orvhlcn they have written - ton their names. This ticket the voter 10- colvoi und passes around the railing to one of the stalls , whc.ro ho places an X op- poslto the name of the candidate for whom Lo deilres to vote. The tlclfot having boon so prepared , the voter folds it in such a manner that it will hu Insldo nnd tlion hnnds it to the judge , \vho deposits it la thn ballot , box. The name of tlio voter la recorded by the registrar and ho passes out. To iivo an Idea of the form of the ticket , the following sample ballot is printed : foil Ci-rr'Ct.KiiK , I CouxeiMiix FIIIS-T WAHI > . VoTiirouO.NU. . A. V .

IndepcndonTJ Persons , Pranlc Indupcnduiit | x Should the voter by accident inutilato his ticliot , it is returned to the Judges and ho is given another. This may continue until the voter has destroyed four tickets , after which lie becomes disfranchised , as the law limits tlio tickets to this number for each votor. At the close of the pulls , the mutilated nnd misused tickets nro sealed nnd returned , to the city clerk , from whom they \ - were received , and by him held until examined by the canvassing board. During the time tbo election is In progress elx voters , ono for each stall , tnay bo al lowed In the room besides two challengers , ono from each political party , nnd an ollleor. The election yesterday was unusually quiet and harmonious , as the usunl f- brawls nnd rows wcro not witnessed. In this respect It might bo nddod that the ward worker nnd heeler was no longer In It Ills occupation 19 goao. The reason is that the only thing ho can do Is to stand around , nnd look on. Heretofore tickets have been peddled by tlicso fellows , who would follow the voter to the polls and see that the Identical lullot was deiioMtcrt , but today It was different. Not u ballot was outsldo of the poling place , and " whllo It was possible that u" voter made pledges , no man know for whom horast his vote after reaching the seclusion of Ills stall when ho marked his ticket. . The members of the board of education , the ladles , or nt least seine of thorn exercised the right of franchise , but they were few , as they hail failed to register nnd did not care to go to tlio trouble of swearing In their votes , or passing up through the lines of men who gathered out side the polling places. * In order to aid tbo voters , nnd assist them In becoming familiar with thu workings of the law , the city clerk furnished eaniplo ballots at each polling place , but they were ot no use for voting places , ns they were printed on green p.ipor nnd marked "sninplo ballot. " Tlio system Is expensive , but it satisfies the South Omaha people. Previous elections liavo eot on nn average of $ . ' > ( )0 ) , but lu thU the extremes will roach $ ISUO. This Is , princi pally owing to the fact that six additional wlllnc places at 510 c.\ch had to bo provided , besides there are thirty inoro clerks and Judges than under tlio old law , each of whom receives $0 for his work. . The booths , stalls nnd other fixtures cost $100 , but this outllt will bo tnlcon down and stored away for future uso. Counting tlm llallots. Counting the ballots proved to ho a much shorter tnalc than nt previous city elections , nnd the result was ascertained before 11 o'clock and In many of the precincts the count wus completed by 0 o'clock. Thoio wcro a number of ballots thrown out Jn bomo precincts on account ot Irregularities in the way they worn marked. Following Is the result : rcm CITY CI.EHIC. John J.

Hostilities wcro declared off at the session of tlio city council hold last nlgbt , and the thirteen members who wore present alien Jed strictly to business C. C. LUtlolleld protested against certain portions of the milk onllnmico. Ho objects to tlio power of revolting milk licenses being In the hnnds of the nicmbors of the board of hoaltliniul wants this power to rest with the city council. Mayor Cushlng vetoed the ordinance estab lishing n paving district on South Tvveuty- secoml street , between Hickory street mill Popploton nvonuo. Ills ronson was that the tltlo of the ordinance reads , "Ho It ordered , " whllolt should bo , "Bo It ordained. " 1'hcro was another reason. Tlio number of the pav ing district had been omittea. The llullou clectrio light ordinance was killed bj a veto of the mayor. His reasons for withholding his signature were numer ous'tho timin ones being : Tlinttho orell- nnneopassed was not the ono Introduced ; that the rights of the city vero not properly protected ) that ttie slzo of conduits mm their locations wcro not mentioned ; that nothing was said about the height of wlros from the Ki-ouml ; that no provisions vero made for the time- when the plant should bo in operation. In other words , the mayor considered the ordinance us full of holes as n skimmer. The veto was sustained by a veto of 7 yeas to 0 nays. Comptroller Ooodrlch Informed the council that Gibson , Mlllor & Ulchanlson will bo un able to comply with the terms of their con tract for dolnp lithographing and printing. The matter was referred to tlio committee on printing ami the comptroller. For furnish Ing 700 street lamps , the Ohio " street Itchttnp "company offered to furnish the gnsollno lami ) at $21 per nnuuin ; the Western street Ifghtlne company , gasoline lamps lit S'JO per year per lamp. The Dunlin Thompson-Houston clectrio light company offered to furnish 700 twonty-ciindlo power Incandescent lights at0 ' , ortwonty-fH-o-can- dlo power Incandescent lights ntl per llfjht per nnnuin. Hugh Murphy offered to fur nish the gasoline lamps at 5J1.-I5 per lamp. Mr. Davis favored the cloetrio light , say- Ing. "A twcnty-cnndlo power electric light Is certainly better at the same price than u sixtcen-caiidli)1 power gasoline lamp. " The bids all went to the committee of the whole and will bo considered Saturday night. Mr. OstholT thought It mlirtit bo well to refer the bids to the comimttoo on gas and electric lights. President Lov.-rv opposed this , saying : "Mr. Mudscn , the chairman , Is very sick and cannot attend to these duties. " The proposition of H.V. . Gibson to sell the city n lot for nn engine house nt Twenty- ninth and Spauldlng streets was referred to the committee on buildings and. public prop erty. erty.Tho report of the cltv physician for the month of March showed ITS deaths and 1U'J births. Tlio March report of the gas Inspector showed 178 gas lamps , C'2I gasoline lamps and VJli electric lights In use on the streets. The report of the superintendent of plumb' ing showed forty-eight permits issue ! to mailer plumbers , fourto tbogas company and f our to the wntor works company. His fees amounted to f 10.50. President Lowry suggested that hereafter the committees should oxamlno their pnpors in committee meetings and not pass thorn from member to member during the weak. Ho wanted this rule to apply more espec ially to the committees on grades and grading. Mr. Davis -was in favor of the Saturday evening meetings , and thought they would result In much good If the members followo d this rule. Mr. Elsasscr thought the papers should go to the conmlttecs as o.iny'nsi Wednesday morning. "They hnvd flvo clerks In the city cloik's ofllco , and if the clerics can got a hustle on themselves they can , get the papers to the chairmen on the next day after the mooting , " said ho. Mr. OsthofTsaid : "If the papers can't ho delivered to the chairman , let tliom go to the next member on tlio coinmittuo. " Mr. Morcartv embodied this in a resolu tion , and until Mr. Comvay regains his health all matters pertaining to grades and grading will pass to the second member on this committee. ClerK Groves explained that it will bo im possible for him to got the papers to the com mittee oy Wednesday morning. Property owners protested against opening Mason street from Twenty-fourth to Twenty- 11 fth streets. By the resolution of Mr. Donnelly , Miss Hose Copley , the stenographer in the city clerk's ofllco was allowed § 10 extra for tak ing testimony In the investigation of the plumbing inspector. By n resolution offered by Mr. Onhoff , the park commissioners wcro requested to replace - place the clectrio light in Jefferson square . Fowler & iieindorff were Instructed to present nt the next mooting plans for wiring the interior of the city hall , together with plans for vault doors and marble tiling. The committco on public property and builaings was Instructed to consult with the architects and secure plans for designs for furniture for the new city hall. Tlio resolution instructing Fowler Si Belli- dorIT to furnish the superintendent of the city linll with detailed drawings of the build ing , providing this is douo without cost to the city , was adopted. ThouotltionofJ.il , Kotchon asldng that hacks bo prohibited from standing on Far- noin street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth was laid on the tublo. Contractor Squires was invited to go into court and collect his bill of $7UB for sweep ing , streets during the months of August , September , October and November , 1890. Tno committee reported that Squires has not compiled with the terms of his contract , nnd consequently is not entitled to full pay ment for the work , and for this reason ttio boaru of public works Is Instructed to refuse to pass his estimates. Among the ordinances Introduced were the following : Providing for the repaying of Twenty-ninth nvouuo , from Leavouwortli street to Woolworth nvonuo ; repaying Lcavcuworth street from Twenty-flf tli street to Twenty-ninth nvonuo ; paving Twenty- sixth , Twenty-seventh nnd Twenty -eighth streets from Popploton menuo to UlcKory street and allowing the property owners thirty days in which to select the material ; provid ing for one deputy at $185 per month , two clerks ut ? 11U per month and onostonographer lit $75 per mouth , to bo employed In the city clerk's oftlce ; paving Twenty-second street from Popploton avenue to Hickory street.
