The application ot the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal railway for permission to lay
tracks on streets and alleys further down
town and to opcratolocomotlvcs and cars on
(
the same for thrco' hours engaged the at
tention of the followlnc committee at the
city hall yesterday afternoon : W. F.
Bechel. chairman of the city council com-
inlttcofon railroads ; Andrew Rosewnter , city
engineer ; W. J. Connell , city attorney ;
John R. Webster , general manager ot the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal railway , and
'A. ' li. Reed , James A. Crelghton and J. J.
O'Connor , representing the property owners
I. of the locality through which the company
I.'I wants to extend Us tracks.
'I ' After Chairman Bechel had called the
meeting to order the amendments to the
original ordinance granting desired per
mission to the terminal company were read.
The amendments had been drawn up by
City Attorney Connell , after conference
with Bomo of the property owners. The
principal features provided that the com
pany should nio a map of Its route with the
city engineer within ninety days , that the
railroad tracks and switches must bo com
pleted -within ono year , that the city be
allowed to lay sewers , gas plpos , water
l mains and conduits under any of the tracks ,
! that the terminal company must allow all
railroad companies desiring an entrance to
use Us tracks for reasonable rates , that
owners of adjacent property bo allowed to
connect with the Bwltches and tracks of
the company when their Interests demand.
Wniitcd to Go rnrtlier South.
General Manager Webster ot the Ter
minal company remarked that he
had drawn up an ordinance whlcli
ho would llko to submit for the
approval of the committee. As It was read
the other membera of the committee wcie
surprised to note two features that were
a not Incorporated In the original ordinance ,
> , Provision was made for continuing the
tracks southward from Capitol avenue
crossing Dodge , Douglas , Farnam and Har-
ncy streets between Eighth and Ninth. Till ;
promised an entrance Into a new locallti
from that first announced and caused muct
dlscuHslon within the committee. In replj
to a question Mr. Webster said that ho hat
asked for permission to occupy the addt
tlonal streets because n number ot propertj
owners In that locality had requested hltv
to so extend his tracks with an ultimate
view of getting a depot down there. "I'm In
terested In some property down there and J
hadn't heard of any such request , " remarkec
A. L. Reed. After some discussion the com
mittee resolved that the portion of the ordi
nance providing for the extension of tin
tracks south of Capitol avcnuo would have
to bo stricken out.
The second new feature of the ordlnanci
proposed by Mr. Webster that made Bonn
of the property owners prick up their can
was In tbo request for permission "to con
struct , maintain and operate a single o
double track surface or elevated rallroai
along Twelfth street from the north sldo o
California street to the south slilo ot Chicago
cage street. " The prospect of Omaha enjoy
Ing an clovated road caused some ot th
commltteemeu to shrug their shoulders i :
metropolitan fashion , and one of them eatd
"Why , Mr. Webster , you didn't tell ua yoi
were going to run an elevated road. "
"Well , I don't know ns wo shall , " re
plied the general manager , "only It ma
be necessary on account of the grade to d
so , and If It Is wo want to bo at liberty t
build an elevated road. The ordinance
have drawn up covers everything wo ma
want In the future , because I don't want t
have to go through with the process
second tlrno. "
City Engineer Rosewater remarked the
ho thought the provision for a surface o
elevated track was perfectly proper , bu
even this assurance failed to reconcile som
of the property owners to the Idea of a mid
iR nlr railroad. They decided that this featur
of the proposed ordinance should bo n spc
rial order of business at the next mectln
of the committee , to 'bo held on Saturday ;
9 a. m. at the city hall.
Mr. Clinrltou'n Objection.
* Mr. Charlton and others offered objec
tlons to the possible blocking of Fourtcent
street north of Nicholas , If permission wcr
given to lay tracks there. The former con
tended that some warehouses whoso Intel
ests ho represented might have to do a
their hauling around through Sixteen !
i street If this wcro done.
"In order to assure the city that tl
tracks' will not bo filled with cars blocklu
the street I should bo very glad to sec
city ordinance providing against any rai
standing on the tracks there , " said M
Webster.
"Oh , that won't do a bit of good , " sal
Mr. Charlton. "ThereIs a city ordlnanc
that provides that there shall bo no swltcl
Ing of cars on the Belt line during the daj
time ; that provision was put In the frar
chlso given to the lielt line , but over
citizen of Omaha knows that Ita \ not < -r
forced. "
"Well , wo own four tlmev. . ! nvirh pro |
crty In this locality as any other person i
company , " replied Mr. Webster , "and
guess wo are somewhat Interested In tl
matter ourselves. "
"The plan proposed seems to be the on !
way ot letting the road come down ton
except on a viaduct , " remarked A , L. Reed ,
"and I don't eo what else wo ran do but
agree with Mr. Webitcr. "
Ilonto nn Now Outlined ,
With Ihn permission to cross streets from
Capitol avenue to Harnoy street stricken
out , as Insisted upon by the committee , the
ordinance drawn up by Mr. Webster elves

attention of Time.
Mr. Webster's ordinance provides that the
map of the route shall be filed with the city
six months from date of Its passage , work to
begin within six months after the passage
and to be completed within ono year from
the same date. The property owners nnd
City Engineer Rosewatcr Insisted that the
map of the extension should be filed within
ninety days nnd Councilman Bechel said he
thought the council wouldnot , paps the or
dinance If six months were required for the
filing of the map of the exact route.
Then Mr. Webster settled back In his
chair and said : "I can flic a map within
ninety days , but I should prefer six months
to work out a greater scheme. The work wo
plan Involves the expenditure of about $300-
000. If by having more time wo can carry
out a greater enterprise , amounting to sev
eral millions of dollars , It seems to me that
It would bo the best policy for the city to
aid us. "
"Tho property owners want to know where
you are going to build within less time than
six months , Mr. Webster , " said Mr. Creigh-
ton. "They think , perhaps , If you do no !
want their ground some other company will , "
"They are wrong there , " remarked Mr ,
Webster. "I can assure them that there Is
no other company figuring on buying ground
here. Wo have spent a good many dollars
to find out what the other fellows want ami
we know. I know that there will be nc
other parties looking for ground In this lo
cality. "
The Illinois Central nnd the Chicago Grcal
Western roads were not mentioned , bui
those present understood these roads were
referred to In the words , "other parties" aui
"other fellows. "

CITY WINS IMPORTANT SUIT
neation of Assessing Cost of Repaying
Against Abutting Property ,
UPREME COURT SETTLES THE POINT
teplncliiK HliicUH with llrlvk Not "Or-
tllnnrr Ilcimlrn" Wllltln the Mcnn-
of the Stntutc Wlmt
the niTcct AVII1 He.
The supreme court ot Hie stnto has Just
inndod down an Important decision which
cclaros that In cases where a street paved
vlth wooden blocks falls Into such condl-
Ion that the blocks arc torn up and a uc\v
lavement Is laid upon the old base , the
costs ot the Improvement shall bo assessed
against thefnbuttlhi ; property. This decl-
lon was rendered In the cose of Edward L.
nobertson against the City of Omaha and
grows out of the repaying of Leavenworth
treet with brick.
Leavenworth street was originally paved
with , wooden blocks and as has been the
case on streets which wcro similarly paved ,
he blocks wcro worn out In a comparatively
short time. Inasmuch ns the street was a
well-traveled thoroughfare , the council , on
a petition ot the property owners , ordered
ho blocks torn up and the present brick
pavement laid. The costs of the Improve
ment word * assessed against the adjoining
> roperty. Several of the property owners
objected to the assessment and started a
suit against the city to have It declared Ille
gal. The district court returned a Judg
ment against the plaintiffs and the supreme
court has just affirmed this finding.
Two main contentions were made In the
case. Ono of these , In which the city Is
most concerned , "was that the repavemcnt
vas "ordinary repairs , " the cost of which ,
under the charter , can not bo assessed
against the abutting lot owner , but must
> o paid by the city. The court holds that
ho costs of "ordinary repairs" must be paid
> y the city , but further finds that the tcar-
ng up of worthless blocks and replacing
hem with vitrified brick laid "on the old
> aso" la not an "ordinary repair" within
ho meaning of the statute , but Is a repave
mcnt of the street. To pay the costs , there
fore , a special assessment may be made
against the adjoining property.
Co ill r act AVn.M Valid.
The plaintiffs also attacked the validity of
he contract that the city enters Into for
laving. The Illegal section was alleged to
) o the provision which binds the contractor
to bear the expense for the term of ten years
for all repairs which may from any Impcr-
'ectlon In the said work or material be
comes necessarywithin that time. " The
allegation was made that this provision In
cluded "ordinary repairs , " and consequently
nado the contract ono both for paving and.
'or repairing , resulting In compelling the
contractor , and therefore the property owners
who were assessed to pay him to pay the
cost of "ordinary repairs. " The court finds ,
however , that this stipulation does not In
clude "ordinary repairs , " and Is therefore
not in violation of the charter.
The importance of the decision lies not
only In the fact that the cost of the
Leavenworth street paving can be
aid against the property owners , but
also Dccauso the city council has acted
similarly in repavlng other streets. The
principal examples are South Sixteenth
street and Karnam street , both of which
had been originally paved with wooden
blocks , which were torn up and replaced
with asphalt. A variety of shorter streets
have been treated In the same manner.
The decision Is'also ' likely to put an end
to Councilman Karr's attempt to have the
council order the wooden blocks on Twenty-
fourth otreet , north of Lake , to bo torn up
and replaced with dirt on the old founda
tion. He , as well as the adjoining property
owners , Insisted that this comes under the
head of "ordinary repairs , " but the de
cision Is to the contrary effect.

The Board of Education , through Secre
tary Glllnn , Is In receipt of a request from
Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago , commis
sioner ueneral of the United States to the
Paris exaosltton and honorary chairman of
the Lafayette Memorial committee , that the
school district assist In augmenting a fund
to bo devoted toward erecting a monument
over the grave of Lafayette in Paris.
Accoullnc to the communication , the
school children of the country arc to raise
the Lafayette fund. It is suggested that the
best means of doing this is by declaring
October 10 "Lafayetto day , " and by having
the children on that day give a public en
tertainment to which an admission fee Is
to bo charged , the proceeds being turned
Into thp fund. The proposed monument Is
to bo unveiled on July 4 , 1 > 00 , which Is
United States day at the Parlo exposition.
The matter will bo laid bcforo the board
