the surveys and reports which ) have been
made lint the scheme Is Practicable. and ,
If properly undertaken antI conducted. can
bo curried to I successful end. In all under-
unders

as our basis at action the conclusions of
practIcal and experienced engIneers. WIth

t : The question now male considered Is ,
how best can this enterpvise be undertaken
clad carried forward ? At the recent clec-
. ton the proposition to grant a sUbsidy In
old o the construction oC the proposed
canal was voted down , chiefy , 1 hel eve , for
the reason that I was considered by many
that the work should
be earrieI on
- public enterprise. and le the canal , when an a
completed , Iioulti he

sl'ongly
to this view of the matel' , 1 believe that

I.AlIS AND STHmT LIGIITINO.
In each nnnunl message which I have
alllressed to the city council 1 have had
occasion to refer to the question or street
hiliIing , Every municipality has Its tJerlods
CE wrestling with thIs question , and Omaha
has been no exception , One yenr ago 1
had the pleasure of nnnouneing an arrange-
meat which hnll been entered Into with the
gnl company hy which the price of gas
hall been fllstnctorl ' fixed \ by n sliding
scale , which will rcsnl In n grent saving
to the city and 10 gas consumers. The past
year has witnessed the completing of an
amicable arrangement wherehy the electric
light question , so far ni It relates to street
lightIng , has been settled for three yours.
I rnnnol that I
say am tntrcly pleased
with the result In the later case , ns 1 1m

that municipal ownership II the only prOIJer
loluton oC this question. 'he hash ; of my
contention regarding nrc lghts , sluice I
have been In oIliCe . has been that the city
was not receiving the amount oC light re-
rlulred by Its contracts with the electric

change my Joliton on this point , hut the
whole matter haS heen amlcnbl alljused

VA'l'FR WORKS MATTERS.
During the past year our cIty has been
visited by several dIsastrous fres , " 'lhout
doubt time losses Incurred were largely In-
creased hy n luck oC water supply and I
prCRsurc. As the resll oC the failure ) ( the
\\'mctcr 'orls company to live imp to thc
'lter
terms of its contract with the city , 1 hns
been necesal'Y to purchase addItIonal _ "I.lro

ot her limp enJlnes must be purchased In the
fu ture. \'hle I believe In the cIty mallnl
prollJt PaYnmemmt to all partes with which
It has dealings , yet I do not conshler It to
be tIme duty oC the city or jusL to the tax-
pn yers to nay for servIces not rendered
nor for whlt Is nol actually flrlshed In
accordnnce with coimtraet. Unti the
' \ ater Womles company can so Improve -
prove its Ilresent system lS to fur-
nish the water supply nnd give the
pressurl In caRe of lire required by Its eon-
tr act , I believe I to be OUI' duty ns repre-
Rentatvcs of the taxpayers to deduct front
the bills of the Water ' , ells company nn
nmount sulclent at least to covel' the extra
expense the city Is put to by reason of fall-
Inl to receive thp fire protectIon gunl"anteed
by the Water Works compan For the
Imrllose of perCectng the present water
works sYHtem and increasing the supply and
pressure for fro purposes , I recommend that
the city enllneer confer with the emigineer
of the 'Valer Works company and If pssi-
ble secure such Q redistrIbutIon nnd cn-
InrJement oC water pIpes In nt least the
bURlneH9 portion or the city as wIll enable
the fire department to render the demanded
protecton to the business Interests of our
cIty , I further recommend that hereafter
Q sufficient deduction he made tram each
on ( oC thc bills or the Water Works com-
any as , wi cover the necessary cxpendl-
turcs of the city hy reason of the Water
'orks company tithing to fully comply
wih the terms or Its contract.
DISCUSSING HEALTH MATTERS.
During time pat year the health or the
city ha9 , been up to Its usual high standard ,
0\1 Omaha has' maintained-Us reputatIon
as I clean and healthful cll' . There has
been no epldemnic . and the comparatively
few cases of contagioUs diseases have been
of n mud tnJe. Much good has been nc-
complshel by the hoard of Health , not-
wlhstandlnl the board has been contInually
hampered by political Influences und con-
s hleratiofl . , which I trust wi end with
, the adoption oC the amendmenl to our city
lmarter suggested by the charter commlt-
t ee. After many unsuccessful attempts
we have fnaly secured an ordlnnnce regu-
lutn the male of milk , which the SUIreme

t hat we may be able , when Creed from p0a
Itcal Inluences , to secure a rigid and Im-
partnl enforcement oC this ordinance anti

pcople.
The necessity for nn ambulance for c.on-
ve 'lnl the sick and Injured to their homes :
01' n hospItal. to which I referred In former
messnlCS , still exists. A vehIcle suitable
for this purpose could be purchased and
op rted itt small expense , and It Is as
much I necessity as any other humane !
revIsIon for emergency cases.

The judges of the district courl spent a
portion of yesterday In assigning time different -
ent courts for the coming year and ] Inx -
lug the dates for the scss'ons. The mcetng
was held al 10 o'clock and was attended by
nil of tIme judges. Only two changes were
made In thc assignments , JUllgo Ferguson ,
who has been In the equity court , and Judge I
Ambrose , who has been In the law court ,
exchanlng benches , When the next sese
sian of court opens the dllcrent rooms will
bc presided ] over as follows : Heel 1 , Judge
Scott : 1001 2 , Judge Keysor : reel 3 , Judge
Ferguson ; room .t , Judge Hopcwel : reel 6 f ,
Judge Blair ; reel G , JUdge Ambrose ; room
7 , Judge 1)muflIe. Heel 1 Is the criminal
court : rooms 2 , 3 : , 4 and 6 arc the law courts
aWl rooms G anll 7 the equity courts.
The sessions of court In Douglas county

The announcemenl thai Scot was ngnlu
given the crmlnal : locket met wih'lgorus
protests on all lmumimuhs . SOlle oC the IWleyrs ,
liowei'er view It with
wih feelings of mingled
grIef and satisfaction , for while those who
1)ractico In
practce time crIminal court are warm
under the collar. those who practice In the
other courts are leaping about In time great-
ness of their joy that they wi nol have
to submit theIr cases to Scott.
Scot.
I Is said that IJressure ) was broughl to
bear on tIme judges from various sources , and
also that Judge Scot wanted the court and
none of the others did. Judge Scott had
given II out cold thai he must have thc
crIminal court , and thaL If he didn't gel It
something would drop and drop hard it
Is said thai for the lasl mouth Scotl ha been
rusting among his frlcnds In order 10 Imavo
them Induce the other jUdges to contInue
him h on the criminal docket. The contnue
wns oC an opposite nature I has Infuence
unusual occurrence during the last few wcells
for the judges to meet lawyers who have
prayed that Scot be nol appointed to the
court In which they Ilract'ce. ' A lawyer
from thc equity court would say : "I or Gods'v
sake , don'l put JUdge Scot upon the equity
bench , " and another whose practice' equiy
the law court woull COIO with tIme request :
" lon't assign Scott to the law court. " On
the other ( hanl , the lawyers oC the crIminal
court were just as anxious to see the ( beach
ot their court Iled by some other jUdge.
IT WAS NOT EXPECTED.
The action talel yesterday with reference
to Scott's asslgnem Is all the more linuxt
)
plcable In view or the known sentIments
entertained by eachtoC , the several jUdges as
to the Impropriety of such assignment. A
ty ew weels ago a reporter was detailed to canfi
vnss the matter. He was Instructed to in-
tervlew the jUdge and reporl whether or
nol they , or any at theta , were favorable to
the assignment of Scott to the criminal bench
for the new year. I was a maier of corn-
man report thai a majonimy at the bench
I majorly op-
posed such acton and the general belief
'among ' members ofrtbe bar has been that
Scott would never again be"permlted to take
the crIminal docket ,
The reporter turned In I writen report of
hIs findings , with ; the statement Lhat each
jldge j Interviewed had requested that nothIng -
Ing l be publshed concerning his vIews until
afer the bench meetng , "held yeslerday.
FOlowing Is the information gleaned from the
judges al thai tIme :
WHAT TIlE JUDGES SAID.
"Scotl will make a fight for the crIminal
docket agaIn.
"I have talked with all the judges today ,
exeepL hlopeweli , and I talked with him a few :
d ays ago on the subject of time assignment oC
next year's court work. Naturally , most of
them are lath to express any opinIon of the
mater , bat they all tel mo personally that :
whatever happens Scot shall not have the :
criminal locket next year. The judges wi I
meet on the first day of the year to assign L
the work Scott has an inkling of their In-
tentons , ali has postponed hIs vacation and L
wi nol ) eave until the matter Is decided.
"Judge Ambrose says that lie has made up I
his mind that Scott
shal not run the courts text t
next year He protests that Scott shall not
have control of the juries and use the bench I
as a platform for hIs political and personal ; I
t irades. He will favor giving the crIminal I
docllet to Judge flume , and gIvIng Scott a I
trIal t docket , and he himself taltng an equiy
docket.
"Judge Ferguson says he has not given the I
mater much thought , but Is willing to abide II
by the acton of the ( other judges . He Is
very cautious about saYing what will be dent '
lone
wIth ScoI : , but says confidentially thai ho Is :
In i favor of any change that the other jUlges
may wIsh that ( will remove the criminal I
court from danger of further ' scenes such as
have h dlsgracc Il during the last year.
"Judge Dume relles to say anything of :
the t mater untIl the jUdges have met , blt : L
states that he does not think there will be
any causa for complaint after theIr acton Is
i cnown .
"Judge Keysor will oppose any further re-
tenton of Scot on the criminal bench
"Judge Blair refused to express any opinion
to me , but has told a county officIal that he
will make a fight for the criminal bench
himself before he will let Scot stay there.
"
"Jude Hopewel Is very Indignant at the
manner m In which Scott has handled the jurors
during the past year , and will endeavor to
see that he 19 put next year where ho wjl
have no opportunities . to run thlng "
