There, arc WKht more districts whore tho
Kiiarantee expires In VMS and three more
where tho KUiinintee expires In VM. All
the above facts and lluures, with additional
Information, can be found upon pact's 310
and :ill of the annual reports of the city of
Omnlm for the year lv93 In that pirt of
the report compiled by the city eiiKlnccr,
Mr Andrew Koscwuter.
It will be seen from tho foreRolnn state
ment that the contract on district R2 ex
pires AuKUst 2, on district 13 Aimust 9
and on district GO August 2H. I call tho
attention of your honorablo body to these
facts for thn reason thnt I nm Informed
by various parties that the pavements on
these streets nre not In Kood repair, in
called for by the contract, and thnt there
nro numerous holes In tho pavement which
need attention. If your honorable b ay
nnd the Hoard of Public Works will tako
Immediate steps to notify the llnrber As
phalt Paving company by proper legal no
tice that these streets need repairs and
that the city will refuc to pay the amount
Hpeclllcd In the contract unless they nro
repaired, the company will bo compelled to
repair these streets, provided the notice
Is properly given It before the expira
tion of the respective periods of guarantee,
the first of which expires August 2. Prompt
notion will therefore bo necessary If It Is
to avail anything.
The contract with tho Uarber company "ti
these streets provides a yearly payment by
the city for repairs of 8 cents per square
vard for all the surface within the paving
districts, whether any repairs are maile
nr nnt Thn n mount of this charge for 1911
nmmititu in nhniit JS.SKo. The contract Is
a very one-sided one In favor of tho asphnlt
company nmi mo cuy siioinu cuninn iu
rninnunv in live mi to tho letter of Its con
tract and should see to It that tho com
pany Is notified to make all needed re
pairs before the contracts expire, as after
that ilato the city will havo to pay the
bill, no matter whether the streets arc In
had condition or not.
I therefore urge Immediate nctlon nt this
meeting, for the next regular meeting will
not come until August 6, nnd by that time,
tho contract as to paving District 62 will
hnvo expired.
1 deslro also to call tho nttentlon of
your honorablo body 'nnother mutter In
this connection. In thu year 1890 tho city
entnrod- Into contracts for tho repair cf
nsphalt pavements on sixty nddltlonnJ
paving districts. Of theso tho Uarber As
phalt Paving company procured a contract
for llftcen districts, Hugh Murphy for ono
district and John Grant for forty-four dis
tricts. The Harbor and Murphy contracts ex
pire August -I. 1901, while the Grant con
tract expires September 29. 1901. Hy theso
contracts tho city agreed to pay prices
ranging from 9S cents to $1.10 per square
yard, based upon tho nmount of repairs
actually made, Theso various facts nro
set forth In the city engineer's report
found In the nnnual report of tho city of
Omaha for tho year ISM, on pages 177 and
ITS. The city engineer In his report states
that this price Is the lowest rate obtained
for this class of work by any city In the
United States and It was only scoured by
thn bitter competition which nt that tlmo
existed between tho competing contractors.
Theso contracts cover repairs on streets
which have been more recently paved than
those covered by the ten-year mainte
nance contract with tho Uarber company
mentioned In tho beginning of this com
munication, Now. my suggestion at this time Is this:
'ihat If there nre any of tho streets within
these stxtv paving districts which need
small repairs the city should nt once not
ify tho throo contractors to make such re
pairs under theso contracts, because tho
onntrurt which lins recentlv been let for
repairing is nt a rate 2." per cent higher
than the rato obtained under tho contracts
of 1RW! and the city will save severnl thou
sands of dollnrs on repairs If mode under
tho JS9C contract Instead of under any new
contract which might bo obtained.
Your honorablo body will notice thnt tho
Uarber contract nnd the Murphy contract
covering sixteen districts, expire August
I, so thnt whatever notlllentlon Is given to
theso companies must bo given prior to
your next regular meeting, which occurs
August fi.

Ellis Olcnn case was brought to a close
this afternoon by Judge Staplcton, who
dismissed tho Jury upon their own request
and upon their statement to tho court that
they could not reach a verdict. Their last
ballot resulted ln seven for conviction nnd
flvo for acquittal and shows that their de

only ln tho winning ot onc Juror to tho
Ido of acquittal.
Tho case was onc of the most sensational

Tho entire case hinged upon the Identifica
