STUCK IN A PRETTY MESS
Lincoln's Unpleasant Experience in Quest of
a Viaduct on 0 Street.
HER EFFORTS PRODUCE EMBARRASSMENT

LTXCOI.V , Neb , Aug. l.r . ( Special to THE
BRB. ] The rlty ol Lincoln Is still deeply
embarrassed In Its project to construct a
viaduct across the Burlington and Union
Paclflo tiacks on O street. The whole
trouble results from an effort to construct
an expensive viaduct with no money in the
city strong lox with which to pay the con
tractor. The history o'f the effort of the city
to compel the railroad companies to
construct the viaduct Is n lonp
and tedious ono , but after several
yrars of tiresome controversy the railroads
and the city council were able to como U
terms last spring. An agreement was made
In which It was popularly supposed that the
rnllronds agreed to advance the necc/sarj
funds from time to time to enable the city tc
pay the damages to the abutting property
This money was to bo advanced In the nature
of a loan. Under the arrangement the mavoi
has to appoint appraisers to assess UK
damages to the abutting property. Thi
mayor carried out his part of the agreement
the appraisers were appointed and the dam
ages assessed at something llko $18,800.
llroucht on Another Tangle.
The awardshowover , did not provo satis
factory to the property owners , and the ;
B topped woilc after considerable progresi
had been made , and secured nn Injunotloi
from the district court on the grounds thn
nil such assessment sot damages should bi
made by appraisers appointed by the judgi
of the county court.
With this decision In mind appraisers wen
nppotntod In rounty court , and In duo coursi
of time they made their report , the detail
of which w ei o fully reported la those col
umn some weeks ago. Then a now causi
for controversy arose. The mayor inslstei
thnt the appraisement of damages was on
tlicly too high and threatened to do all li
his power to defeat the payment. The cit ;
council either npglocttd or refused to ordo
the city attorney to appeal from the juJg
mcnt of the appraisers.
Thus the matter stands. The city cai
cither deposit the amount of the damage
assessed with the court and take an appc.i
and go ahead with the vvoik , or it can leav
the vvoik nt a standstill , as it Is at piosent
nnd take an appeal without depositing th
damages or giving bond for payment. O
the railroad companies can , in pursuanc
of their original agi cement , advance th
money for the pav mcnt of the damages am
permit the work to go ahead.

Council O'Shea visited Omaha vesterda ,
In older to hotel u conference with the iai
road authorities in regard to securing a
cdvnnco of the money necessary to onabl
the city to take advantage of ono of th
several couihos open to it. The city ha
already been given assurances from th
Burlington people that they were ready an
willing to advance their share of the fuuel
and therefore it was believed that th
Union Pnclllo only was to bo consulted. Mi
O'Shea called upon Jucigo Kelly of the legc
department of the Union Pacillc and Icarne
to his sur prlso that the Union Pacific kno\
nothing whatever about the willingness c
the Burlington to advance anv rnonoj
Judge Kelly admitted that the matter mlgh
liavo been referred to the general manage ]
Mr. Dickinson , who is just now absent froi
the state , but ho disclaimed any knowlcdg
of the Burlington's intentions himself.
Then another surprise awaited the cour
cllman from tins rity. Ho vvas assured wit
that delicacy and candor for which the atlr
bio Judge Kelly has long boon noted thn
the Union Pacific on its part had no ieloa e
ndvancing any money with which to cnabl
the city to pay damages to the abuttin
property.

The affable judge was certain that h
company had no funds with w hluh to emic
the property owners whoso buildings an
lots would bo cast In the shade by the coi
structlon of the viaduct. Ho vvas equal ]
positive in his belief that the damages hn
been placed at too liberal n flgure and th ,
the supreme court would not agico with tl :
district court In holding that the origin ;
assessment made by the nppialsors u
pointed by the mayor was Illegal.
In Uio meantime the traffic over O strci

There ate evidences beneath the surf.v
