For some time past petitions have been circulated acking for a change of grade on these two streets , which bound the park on the north and south , but the property owners have been slow in affixing their signatures As j = eon a ? these streets are graded the park commission can go ahead alth its plans , but not before. A great many people would like It if the city owned Syndicate park , and they do not consider the price now asked unreasonable A little over two years ago an ati nipt was made to sell the park to the city and a b'.ll i was worked through the lefUlature allow.

A meeting of property owners living In the vicirity of Twentieth street and Mis souri avenue will be held some evening this week to appoint a committee to see what can be don- toward extending the Thirteenth street car line to Missouri avenue. Several of the heavy property owners in that lei - callty have talked with officials of the ! Omaha Street Railway company in recard | to the matter and have received considerable encouragement. At the last conference between - ' tween the interested parties President Mur- . pby stated that the. line would be extended as soon as the company secured some old rails. Now that the line on Sixteenth street is being relaid the east enders think that It would be a good time to call Mr. Mur phy's attention to his promU * The line on Thirteenth street has been extended to Do minion street and Missouri avenue is only about four blocks south of that point. With an Omaha outlet EO far east the pressure on the Twenty-fourth street line will be relieved considerably , and will pro vide an easy and quick means of reaching Riverview park. The people living east of Twenty-fourth street are greatly Interested in the propon d extension and will do all . tbev can to induce the street railway officials ! to build it. There is also a deal on foot to extend the Q street line to Sarpy Mills. Joe Mail- ander , the owner of the park there , has of fered the etreet car people a bonus to ex tend the line and the matter is being con sidered. The principal obstacle is the heavy grade on Q street A petition is now being circulated among property owners over there asking the council to change the grade , and if this to done there will be some hope of the line being extended out that way. \\lllirlin vrn--.li-il for -liool I nir. liilly Wilhelm , boss in th hide cellar of the Hammond Packing company , was ar rested last evening for shootlns a * .
