ACTION MAY BE TAKEN TOMORROW Text of tlin llr.nlutloim Which Wilt Ho reKMitcd m (1m Tormi of tlin Union Step ( lint linn Hfion Cnntcm- plittcil for Homo Time. Mr. W. A. L. Gibbon's presidency of both the Commercial club nnd ttio Hoard ot Trade has for several months hinted at a consummation which efforts wilt now bo mfulo to bring about without further delay , The plan la that the Commercial club shall absorb ttio membership of tlio Hoard ot Trado. Yesterday n member of the latter body prepared n not of resolutions which will bo presented to the Hoard of Tradu at a meeting to bo hold tomorrow. The resolutions authorize the payment from Hoard of Trade funds of $5 quarterly for each and every member of the Board of Trade , to be paid Into the coders of the Commercial club each member of the for mer to receive In return a certificate of ' membership In the Commercial club. This money aggregates quite a sum. It means $1,000 quarterly to boost the finances of the Commercial club. The cash Is to bo paid from the net Income of the Hoard of Trade after all other expenses are paid. The following Is the full text of the reso lutions which will bo presented : Whereas , The Omaha Hoard of Trade Is a corporate body created for specific work under the laws of the state of Nebraska , nnd Whereas , The said specific work , as de fined In article xl of the articles of Incorpor ation , read as follows : t "Tho object and purpose of said coipora- tlon Khali lie to promote the commercial , manufacturing and neneral Interests of the city of Pmaha , and establish commercial and financial exchanges therein , and It Bhall have and exercise such corporate pow ers as may bo neccessary and couvonlent to that end , Including the power to .acquire and hold such real estate as may bo neces sary to accomplish Its corporate purposes ; " andWhereas Whereas , The revenues now being derived from the real estate possession of the board are suinclontly largo to meet the Interest on the bonded Indebtedness ( $00,000) ) , cost of maintaining Insurance rates , salaries , etc. , and leave a surplus ; thoroforp , bo It Resolved , That the net Income of the Hoard of Trade , after paying all neccessary and legitimate expenses for Interest , taxes , gialntenanco , salaries , etc. , bo disposed of as 'Allows : First , To moro perfectly carry out the ob- 'Jjcl of the corporation as set forth In artl- _ clo II of articles of Incorporation , that the sum of five dollars ( $5) ) quarterly for each and every member of the Hoard of Trade In good standing bo paid to the Commercial club of Omaha-to aid said club In the work of upbuilding nnd developing Omaha's com mercial and Industrial interests through Its organized bureaus and ofllcers. Second , Any surplus accruing after the aforesaid disbursements shall be placed In a alnklng fund In some bank to bo selected by the finance committee , for the purpose ot paying off the bonded indebtedness ; and be It further Resolved , That this said quarterly dis bursement and deposit shall bo made com mencing April 1 next , July 1 , October 1 , etc. , and to continue the same each succeeding quarter as long as the Commercial club shall , in the Judgment of the board of directors of the Hoard of Trade , continue to maintain its present high standard of organization and vigorous work ; and bo It further Resolved , That this contribution of five 'dollars ( $5)r ) per quarter aforesaid shall bo conditional.'on each member of the Hoard ot Trade In good standing receiving a certificate ot membership from the Commercial club , entitling said member to all the privileges and advantages of said club and to continue as long , as said quarterly contribution as aforesaid shall bo paid by the Hoard ot .Trnflo to the Commercial club. This means a gift of $3,000 for the year 1894 to the Commercial club. Membership Certificates In the latter cost $20. By pay- ting for those quarterly , In $5 Installments , each of the 200 members of the Hoard of Trade become the full-fledged possessors of a piece of paper with gilt seal thereon and bearing the signatures of the officers ot the Commercial club. o MAKING A COMPROMISE. Only Ilopn for tlin Pontoon llrlilgo Over the nilnxauri at Kloux City. Dixon , Dakota and Thurston county people , who have urged congress to pass the bill al lowing the construction of a pontoon brldgo across the Missouri river at Sioux City , will be Interested in this letter from Senator Mandcraon : UNITED STATF.S SENATE. WASHING TON , March 2. Your favor of recent date is received. The two bills in regard to the extension of tlmo to the permanent bridge to bo built at Sioux City. la. , and chartering the pontoon brldgo which now exists , passed the house of representatives without'any ono seeming to know very mucn about them. "When they reached the senate , however , there was at once a great deal ot dlsturb- nnce , not only In the senate .committee on commerce , but among senators on the floor. The Iowa senators and a largo number of eastern senators , who represent constituents who have loaned money to"tho permanent brtdgo company , object to the charter of the pontoon brldgo for the reason that It Is an obstruction to navigation , and that It Jeopardizes their efforts to obtain money to finish the permanent bridge. So much dis turbance 1ms been raised over the matter that It will bo Impossible to pass the two bills as they como from the house. As an adjustment of the matter I have proposed that the two years extension of tlmo bo granted to the permanent brldgo company , nnd that the existing1 pontoon brldgo ( which Is likely to bo removed at any tlmo , not hav ing been chartered by congress ) , bo char tcrcd by the bill to remain until the perma nent brldgo Is completed and In operation. The bill In this form can probably pass , but without such amendment It would fall. This Bcom to mo to bo n fair and judicious com promise of the matter , and has been sub stantially agreed upon between Representa tive Molklejohn , Senator Allen and myself CHARLES F. MANDERSON. * "OVll MILK UOrM FfKf.ltS. Worlt on the Plnror ( Irounil In This Wyo- mliiK DUtrlct Soon tn Hlitrt. DIXON. Wyo. , March 9. ( Special to The Bee. ) Preparations are being niadu to com mence work at the Four Mlle gold placer inlnlnB district within the nuxt two weeks. J. D. Hunt , representing the owners of what la known as the "burlap process" for saving flne gold Is hero at work on the boxes , and thinks that the process will save all the gold lit this district. If such proves to bo the case this will make ono of the richest placer Holds In the west , there being a scope of country thirty miles wide by forty or forty- five miles long that carries gold In the sand , , from grass roots to bedrock , which In some Instances Is eighteen foot below the surface. Ono peculiarity of the gold found In the Four Mlle district Is , while some of It la very flno , It la not what Is known us flake or flour gold , but when the colors are placed under ft glass they show distinctly of a lumpy na ture. ture.Frank Frank A.
