South Omaha News
Krom now until Thursday night the char
ter committees will bo working hard to
rreparo a charter suitable to tho majority
of tho people. It Is desired to got tho
roposed charter In shape as soon ns pos-
slblo In order that Ilepresentatlvo vllcox
may Introduce It early next week. Many
ot the suggestions mado by tho council
commtttoo aro meeting with favor, and It
s asserted that If these suggestions nro
adopted tho government of the municipality
111 bo greatly Improved. Ono fenturo ot
the council charter which is being very
favorably considered Is tho provision that
whero no resident freeholder protests tho
Ity may proceed to mako Improvements
on streets. This provision, u nuopieu,
which It most likely will, should result
In the Improvement of J street from Twen
ty-fourth to Twcnty-nfth stroet. The
street between the blocks mentioned is
laid out for 100 feet In width, but h only
half graded. Tho principal objection, how
ever, Is tho steep hill. By tho grading
this ono block tho per cent of grade
will be nbout the same as N street, and
tho valuo of adjacent property will he
greatly enhanced. On this same lino It Is
nought that M street between Twentieth
and Twenty-second streets could be' filled
and opened. Thero Is a demand for n street
to be opened lo tho river, but various
reasons havo delayed tho matter. With
uch a clause In tho charter It Is held that
tho city would have tho nuthorlty to go
ahead and mako tho Improvements whero
resident property owners did not protest.
I'lnnnce Committee Meets,
Members of tho flnanco comtnlttco of tho
council met yesterday and went over tho
bills on hand with a view to settling hs
many claims as possible nt tho next meet-
ng. which will bo held on Thursday night.
Several plans for tho payment of the clultns
tho Ilromcu and policemen wero ad-
anccd and It Is posslbla that transfers
from tho salary and other funds may bo
made temporarily In order to pay tho mem
bers of theso departments. While such
ransfcrs cannot bo construed bb strictly
legal, It Is asserted that an emergency ex
tsts nnd that In such an event the council
has tho right to make temporary transfers.
If money Is taken from tho salary fund
o meet the demands or tno nremen nnu
policemen somo of tho city officials will
oubtless have to go without their money
for a short time. In speaking of this mat
er yesterday a member of tho council
said thnt ho thought that certain ot the
Ity officials, Including the members of tho
council, could better do without their
salaries than to have tho firemen and
policemen rofttso to work on nccount of
avlng received no pay. Kach member of
tho flro department hns two months' pay
coming to him, whllo tho policemen nil
have ono month duo. Every possible effort
s being put forth to straighten out this
financial tanglo and somo decisive steps
will bo taken Thursday night.
