UrrrrMr * tlm Veto-Mill I'ny
tlio Dili I'rr.riitcd ,
Tlio ma.\or fired a bomb sboll nt tlio council
last ntjrlit when ho luuulcd this veto up to
tlio cleric
' I have voiced mi Hem In the appropria
tion ordinance In favor of the Thompson-
Houston Kloctrie Unlit company of &MSI.4H ,
nllowod I" said company for electric Ueliting
for I Ho month of November , for the reason
Hint nt tlw present time there Is only fSU.iVi
In the struct lighting fund , and I do not
think the condition of tlio general fund is
mich at will Justify the taking out of said
fund of n sum sufficient to cover tlm amount
nppmprintnd for tlio piiyment of this hill.
1 In addition to these reasons I also veto
the HIMII for the reason that 1 am satisfied
thaMho amount allowed to the Thompson-
llouiitm Klectrle Light company Is largely
in cxi-rss of the amount said company Is en
titled to receive. The ( ontract , with the
riioinpirw-Houston Klcctrlc Light com-
] ian.\ requires that said company shall
furnish lights equal to :2n : < )0-eandlo ) power.
From such investigation as I have heen
nblo to make. I am satisfied that the lights
which tli'1 Thompson-Houston K'ectric ' Light
coin .itiv arc furnishing to the city of Omaha
nre mil.v aliout half the capacity remilred by
the contract. The same nctlnti should be
taken with i-uferciico. to the Thompson-Hous
ton Klcctrle Light company as has been
taken with reference to the Metropolitan
Street Lighting company. Tlio bllls.of the
Metropolitan Street Lighting company were
tint down for the reason that said company
did not furnish lights up to the standard re
quired li.\ Its contract. This course should
now be pursued with the Thompson-Houston
Kleetric Light company.
"Notwithstanding tlio fact that accurate
tests have been nmdo by the gas inspector of
the electric lights , 1 think lUcan be clearly
demonstrated that the lights which have
been furnished are very iniiuh below the
standard required. I suggest and re
commend that the gas inspector bo
provided with the necessary apparatus
to make frequent and practical tests of
the power of the electric limits. I further
rrroimnomi that whenever the electric lights
ot the Thompson-Houston Electric Light
company do not come up to the standard re
quired h.\ Its contract , that the proper re
duction lie made from its bills. 1 am satis-
lied that Its bill for November lighting is at
least $1.000 in excess of what It should be.
] k-llevlng this to bo the fact. I am in favor
of allowing the Thompson-Houston Klcctrli-
14i ht company to demonstrate , if it can do
ho in the courts , that its bill is correct.1
lt 'filH-l ( o MiKtitlu tlio Veto.
Mr Chaffee said that ho believed in treat
ing corporations the same as ho would treat
individuals , He would not vote to sustain
the veto on mere suppositions. It had been
Ktatcd that the members of the council wcro
thieves , but it had not been proven. The
gas inspector had said that the lights were
of 2,000-camllo power , nml there was nothing
to miow that they were not.
Mr .lacobson thought that It was time to
look into the matter and Unit out If the
statements in the mayor's message were
true Mr Klsassor said that there was no way
of proving that the light was not furnished.
A resolution offered by Mr. .lacobson pro
vided that money with which to pay the bill
should bo taken from the general fund.
The veto was rejected , Messrs , pack.
i liowiill , .lacobson , Muuro and Steel voting to
sustain the mayor.
Gas Inspector Gilbert suggested that for
the purose ) ) of testing the arc lights a wire
I should lie run into the rooms of the chief of
the police and tire alarm system. lie said
that under the present plan ho bad to go to
the company's plant when ho made the test.
. . and that the manner of doing so was very
' ver.unsatisfactory. . This was referred.
Alayor Ik-mis vetoed the items in the ap
propriation ordinance providing for the pay
ment of the bills of the clerks and judges of
election , the grounds of the veto being that
there was but ono election hold , and that the
city had no authority for paying the men ji (
each for their services. . This veto was re
jected by a unanimous vote.
Talking About Ihi'Sliow.
Changing the order of things , this couv
I munication from the mayor was read :
I "I respectfully call your attention to tin
| deplorable condition oC the street crossings
I especially in the business portion of tin
I city , as the result of the accumulated snov
w and dirt , which render such crossing !
[ almost impassable. A number of tin
\ crossings at the intersections of street :
f where the tracks of the street railwa ;
I cross , are covered with snow by the slree
t railway company in the clearing of its tracks
[ As the result the streets at these intcrsec
I tions are rendered dangerous of passage.
[ suggest and recommend that the street rail
i way company nt all such intersections be re
L quired without delay to remove the snow e.\
[ isting at such intersections , and that tli
I street commissioner bo required to put th
[ street crossings at all other intersections ii
I the business part of the city in passable con
[ ditlon. "
f There wns a lengthy discussion , ilurlii ;
i which Mr. Elsasser insisted that if tli
( myyor had put the street commissioner'
gang at cleaning the streets the resul
t would have been much more satisfactor
I than cleaning sidewalks and charging th
I expense to the property owner.
I Mr. .Muuro offered a resolution which wa
[ adopted , that the streets should bo cleane
under the 10 pen-out , clause , and that th
I money should como from the street cleiyiln
[ fund.
I Mr Lowry denominated tlio cleaning ot tli
| snow from in front of vacant property us
L case of highway robbery. Ho would neve
f lend his vote to levy a special tax to pay th
| bills
\ Mr. Mt-Learie - took issue and said thn '
I where the snow was shoveled off. it wa
f fromin fiont of property that was held b
t non-residents and for speculation.
I The mayor vetoed the resolution locating
I pas lamp at Twenty-fourth and Dougln
I streets , giving for his reasons that the col
I ditlon of tte lighting fund would not Justil
I Mio expenditure. The veto was rojectct

f nothing , so to speak.

Interest in "Homestead D.iy" was mani
fested throughout labor circles yesterday.
Many generous subscriptions were made to
the defense and relief fund and it Is said
that the amount to lie sent from Omaha will
bo very large. .1. IJ. Sehupp , president of
the Central Lalxn- union , thinks that more
than S'J.OOO will be subscribed by local work-
ingmen.
"Where I work , " hosuld , "there arc seven
eigarinakerswho.se contributions to the fund
aggregate uuout ? ' . ' ( ) . Other shops will do as
well and the result will be something hand
some and very creditable to Omaha. The
interest in tlio suffering families of the
Homestead men Is very great , and not only
will there be enough money subscribed to
pay the expenses of the defense , but there
will be plenty left to greatly assist the starv
ing families of the strikers. "
Kach union will take chariro of the sub
scriptions'of its members and the whole will
bo forwarded to Secretary Charles Kvans ,
of the Federation of Labor , in New York
City. It will be several days before it can
bo learned how much Omaha workingincu
have given to the flind. Tlm employes of
the different railroads have made generous
subscriptions mid the factory hands and
other classes of workingmen have done the
same.
There is a great need of help by the un
fortunate workmen at Homestead and yes
terday's subscriptions , coming from work
men all over the country , will probably re
move nil danger of want during the remain
der of the winter.
