Old Story, but Ouo in Which.
Everybody la Interested
Flsjnrca from tbo Map
Two days alike In almost every detail ot
temperature, and that temperature the
burning, blistering, sweltering kind that
brings thoughts ot Sahara, la what Ne
braska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas are ex
periencing, and from the standpoint ot the
official weather forecaster there la llttlo
prospoct of change in tho conditions. Days
have been hotter In Omaha than either Fri
day or Saturday, but the heat seems to be
that ot tho tropics, enervating and continu
ous. Warm nights leave the people 111
ntted to stand the hotter days.
James B Haynes. prlrato secretary of
Senator Millard, tells tho most Incredible
hot weather story ot the season. Ho says
that It la so hot that the place-hunters have
quit business and aro not even applying
for tho Influence of tho senator in aid of
their efforts to securo "something good."
This tact alono is considered by the wUo
to prove tho heat Is unprecedented, tor,
they say, never before has a Nobrnska placo
fcuuter allowed the weather to bother him.
Yesterday morning the readings tor the
first throe hours were Identical with those
of Friday, the marcury standing at SO
at 5 o'clock, going down to 79 at C and
Eiountlng to 81 at 7. The advance in the
eat yesterday was not as regular as Friday
and for tho early morning hours It was
from ono to three degrees cooler than for
(ha corresponding times Friday, but
between 11 and 13 o'clock the mercury
sturted up In a hurry and stood at 97 de
grees, Identical with Friday. The hu
midity for tho two days at the tlmo of
observation (7 o'clock) was the same, 02
per cent. This Is not considered romark
ablo humidity, but Is rather more than Is
desirable with temperatures of 100 degrees.
In the state Falrbury was stricken from
the highest place in favor ot Tccumseh,
which showed 104 degrees, two degrees
higher than Omaha. Thero is no probabil
ity ot any chango In local conditions within
the next twenty-four hours and It would
rcaulro rapid changes to bring relief gen
erally within the next thlrty-slx hoursj
In tho corn and wheat reports every sta
tion In Iowa and Nebraska shows more
than 100 degrees except Storm Lake, la.,
whero the maximum was 97 degrees.
In tho wider field of observation Huron,
p. I)., Abilene, Kan., Montgomery, Ala.,
and Kansas City with 104 degrees were
rivals for first place, It Phoenix, Ariz., with
Its usual 110 degrees, be excluded. Dcs
Molucs, Rapid City, Valentino and St. Louis,
with 103 degrees, were tn second place,
While Omaha stood alone with 101. The
temperature at Orand Junotlon, Colo.,
Bloux City and Shreveport were Identical,
100 degrees.

TO REDUCE THE FIRE LIMIT
Mayor nnd Conncllmen Mny Approve
an Ordinance ChnnKlnK
the District.
An effort will bo mado to roduco the size
of the Are limits. The mayor and a ma
jority ot the councilman are willing to
approvo ot a chango In tho fire limits and
the matter will be brought before the coun
cllmen at their meeting as a general com
mittee Monday afternoon.
For somo tlmo there has been a demand
for the chango In tho southern boundary
line ot the district In which frame buildings
are prohibited. The movement to have the
line shifted to tho north was hastened by
tho trouble which was brought about
through tho removal of frame buildings
from the Auditorium site to a lot at the
northeast corner of Twentieth and Pierce
streets.
McCoy & Olmsted, tho owners of the
buildings which ore on their way to the
site at Twentieth and Pierce, have called
upon tho councllmcn and believe that they
will succeed In having the flro limit
changod from Pierce to Mason street. This
will relievo tbo embarrassment caused
them by tho refusal of the mayor to allow
tho flro limit ordlnanco to be violated.
The north lino ot tho present Ore limits
Is 13S feet north ci the north line of Nich
olas street and extends from the river to
the center of Twenty-fourth street, Tho
boundary line extends along Twenty-fourth
to Leavenworth, cast on Leavenworth to
Twentieth, south on Twentieth to Pierce,
east on Plorco to Sixth, north on Sixth to
tho Union P&clflo tracks and east to the
rlvor.
It is likely that the flro limits will bo
changed In such a manner that no territory
between Sixteenth and Twentieth and more-
than 135 feet south of Leavenworth will be
Included. Detweon Sixteenth and Sixth
streets Mason street will probably re
place Pierce as the southern boundary of
tho dtBtrtct In which tramo buildings cannot
bo erected.
"I bellevo that tho district included
within the flro limits could be lessened
without damage to tho city. In fact I think
some districts within tho flro limits would
ba benefited by such a change," said Mayor
Mooros, "In somo places residence dis
tricts Includod within tho limits have not
Improved because the owners ot vacant
proporty will not erect brick houses. This
Is true of property near the south and west
flro limits."
"Much of tho property Included within
the flro limits Is not business property and
never will bo business property," said
Councilman Mount. "On this account I
think It would be well to make changes In
tho limits. I know of many places where
good frame residences would be erected by
property owners If they could secure per
miis tor sucn structures, a careful re
vision of the flro limit ordinance will work
a great Improvement In portions of the city
which are now in bad condition. A Are
limit ordinance cannot make business prop
erty out of ground that Is suitable only for
resldonce purposes."

MUCH INTEREST HAS BEEN CREATED
Clurity of TUU Dloecnc noes on Ileconl

In Station,
The annual retreat of tho Roman Catholic
clergy of tho dloceso of Omaha closed Fri
day and yesterday morning tho priests re
turned to their several charges. Aside
from tho spiritual affairs common to all
retreats, tho principal matter discussed
was tho new cathedral for tho diocese.
There was nothing said In regard to tho
location of the new edifice or tho time ot
starting the construction by tho bishop in
tho retreat, the tlmo being taken up with
a discussion of ways nnd means. Tho
clergy as well as tho laity generally ngreed
that tbo entire dloceso should bear part of
the expensu of tho new cathedral and when
this was determined upon an opportunity
was given the priests to subscribe to tho
fund. There wcro about eighty priests
present and tho amount raised at that
time was nbout $12,000. This Is taken by
tho officials of tho church as showing that
tho priests of tho dloceso will contrlbuto
from $13,000 to $15,000 to tho fund, or
probably 7 per cent of tho total amount
required.
One of tho diocesan officials said: "Tho
idea of a now cathedral is meeting with the
hearty approval of all tho people of tho
dloceso, lay and clerical, Catholic and
Protcstnnt. This morning I recolved n
telephone messago from a Protestant gen
tleman who said that wo could put him
down for a subscription ot $500, and this
Is but a samplo of the reports we aro rc-1
cclvlng. I
Priiluiltle Locution. i
"Of course tho cathedral has not yet been '
formally located, but thoro Is little doubt
that when It Is built It will bo upon ground
belonging to tho church at Fortieth and
Burt streets. This talk of locating the ,
cathedr.il In the central part of tho city is
all nonsense. In the first place, it con-
templates the amalgamation of four of tho
oldest parishes In tho city, and this Is
practically Impossible. The pcoplo of
these parishes would not consent to the
consolidation and the church could not care
for Its members as well as It can when
the parishes aro smaller and the churches
located closer to tho homes of tho pcoplo.
Tho plan suggested would wlpo out tho
German church and this would bo very un
satisfactory to a large number of tho peo
ple ot tbo city. The mutter ot tbo loca
tion Is still open and will probably not bo
finally settled until after sufficient money
Is raised to warrant the construction of
the building."
Cliungp of Station.
At tho close of the retreat Bishop Scan
nell announced the following changes In

SOUTH OMAHA FINANCES
Ed JobiiKton Submits nil Argument In
Favor of Council'
Action.
SOUTH OMAHA. July 13. To tho Editor
of Tho Bco: Instead ot criticising tho
council of South Omaha for making tho 1001
lovy 4614 mills, 0 mills lees than last year,
you should commend It. It was not "a sop"
to tho homo owners nor Intended as n
"concession to tho corporations," but aftor
tho valuation of homo owners had been out
rngoously increased, in raanv cases doublo,
by tho tax commissioner, wo considcrod it
our duty to mnko the levy as low as possi
ble. Tho lovy In all but four funds Is up
to tho limit, as tho following figures show.
Section 123 of tho city charter provides
levy as follows:
General fund $ ZS.000
Flro fund 13,000
Pollco fund 1S.0W
Light fund 13,000
Water fund 13,000
Interest fund 10 mills
Repairing pavomcnt fund 2,rio
Park fund 2.5U0
Library fund COW
And the council mnd tho levy ns follows:
General fund $ St.m
Interest fund O'i mills) 10,071
l'ollco fund ; 17,o
Wuter fund 12.714
Light fund 12.711
Fire fund 12,711
Judgment fund l.'M
I'nrk fund CIS
Library fund (35
Hcpalring pavement fund 1.W7
Tho amount for Judgments with tho bal
anco now in tho fund Is arnplo to pay all
Judgments that will havo to bo paid until
tho next levy. Then why levy moro? Tho
amount for repairing pavement Is ample
to pay all bills. Tbon why lovy moro?
Tho amount for parks with tho balance
now In tho fund Is arnplo to pay this year's
expenses. Then why levy moro? Why levy
$5,000 for library, whon the library build
ing to bo erected by Mr. Carneglo cannot
possibly be built until noxt year, at which
tlmo a levy of $5,000 can bo mado to main
tain it?
Now about tho overlap of $12,000, This
has been accumulating for the last ton
years, duo entirely to low valuations mado
by the corporation assessors. You havo
thorn also In Omaha and tho Inadequate
levy provided by our old charter, 10 mills
for general purposes, 5 mills for pollco
and 3 mills for lire, tho valuation averag
ing about $2,000,000.
You suy wo made no provision In tho
levy for this overlap. How could we, when
thero Is no provision In tbo charter to pay
overlaps and the levy proYldod. is barely
nun nil colors. ST-incn wuie. men graue

sufficient to pay tho annual current ex
penses? Is It not a good business proposition to
Issuo 4', per cent bonds for this overlap
rather than lssuo warrants at C per cent?
Has not your city dono It more tbnn onco?
About tho council "approving tho flguroa
of tho tax commissioner without dotting na
T or crossing a 't,' " will only Bay that our
charter makes no provision for tho council
to sit ns a board of equalization. Section
125 of tho charter provided far a board of
equalization with tho samo powors aa
county commissioners, but tho "flno Itnllan
hand" of tho corporations amended It so
that tho council can only "correct errors
In valuations" nnd then only under such
circumstances ns mnkes It impossible to
rnlse the corporntions vnlunttons. Respect
fully, ED JOHNSTON.
