The Chi cago, St, Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail way will tnp tho upper Michigan Iron country. It has surveyed a line from hero to Rico Lake, whero It will connect with tho Birch Lake branch, now building. Thla will be the western terminus for tho pres ent. Tho lino will bo 125 miles long. Another attempt Is to be made to open N street to the river. This tlmo there Is an entire change of tactics. A local attorney stated yesterday that he had prepared pa pers which ho expects to file with tho dis trict court today asking that the city bo restrained from using tho N street sewer. It Is alleged In tho petition that tho sewer, which empties Into a natural stream at Nineteenth and N streets, Is a nuisance. To verify this samples of the sewage havo been bottled and will bo Introduced as evi dence, Tho bottles show that the sewer Is far from being a good ono and that disease Is liable to spread by allowing this sewage to run through portions of tho city to tho river through a creek. A number of damage suits aro already on file In tho district court citing the city to nppear and show cause why this nuisance should not bo abated and reimburse prop erty owners for losses Incurred by reason of their Inability to rent houses on account of tho open sower. At least a dozen property owners havo combined In this light nnd employed one at torney to push tho case. Tho Idea Is to compel tho city to not only completo tho N otrcet sewer to tho rlvor, but to open tho street ns well. Tho N street sewer, which extends from Twenty-fourth nnd N streets to Nlncteecnth nnd N streets, wns constructed In 1893, the purpose being to comblno n storm wntcr nnd sanitary tewer. A couple of yenrs ago there was a bad washout ot Twentieth and N strcots nnd City Engineer Heal recom mended that the aower bo extended to Nine teenth street. This was dono and for a tlmo there was no complaint, as tho over flow from tho Curo mineral springs purified tho stream to a great extent. When tho Jungmann school was completed sewor con nections wero mode, and nt tho samo tlmo connections with two or three saloons on Twentieth street. In addition to these con nections several residents havo secured per mits to mako sanitary connections, and now tho overflow from tho springs Is not largo enough to carry tho sewage to tho river. The nttorney who Is attempting to forco tho city to extend this Bewcr to tho rl r via tho Injunction routo said yesterday that It would bo useless to construct tho proposed extension until tho street Is graded. This really Is the primary object of tho Injunc tion. Tlmo nfter tlmo attempts have been mado to secure signatures of property own ers for tho grading of N street from Twen tieth street enst, but complications have nlwnys nrlscn. Somo of tho proporty Is owned by persons In California, while other tracts nbuttlng aro In litigation. When Jack Watklns was secretory of tho Com mercial club ho worked for several months In on endeavor to clear up tho titles and secure signatures eo that tbo Btrcet could be opened and a sower built. County Com missioner Hoctor also took n hand In tho deal, and for a tlmo It looked ns If ho wotld bo cucccssful, but tho property was at thnt time too much Involved and ho gnvo It up as a bad Job. Only In consideration of the grading of tho street nnd tho construction of n sewtr, said tho nttorney, will the prosecution be dropped. Tho city has in a measure forestalled this nctlon by opening negotiations for the Halo of bonds to construct this sower. Fresldent Adklns of tho city council stated some tlmo ago that he favored tho voting of $10,000 In bonds for tho extension of tho sewer. Noth ing, however, was said nt the tlmo nbout tho grading of the Btrcet. Engineers sny that a sewer cannot bo successfully constructed until the street Is graded. When tho grading Is completed It will bo necessary to excavnto for a eowcr. but when such a sewer Is laid In tho man ner outlined It will bo good for many years Oppnalupr Pnyiiirnt of Tnxcs. Ofllclals of tho city Htated yesterday that certain attorneys nro writing letters to tax payors urging that certain taxes, most spo clal, bo not paid. Tho reason given is that tho ordinances under which these special taxes wero levied aro not considered valid. Even since W. C. I.nmhert hns bfen In charge of the legal department of tho city an especial effort has been mado to pre paro ordinances' of this nnturo In such n manner that the courts could not find n flaw. Tho passage of theso ordinances has also been looked after with care. It Is tho Intention of the city legal department to carry nil such contested special tnx enses to tho supremo court. Coplr of Chnrter. A month or two ago tho public printers at Lincoln promised that tho now South Omaha charter would bo printed In book form nnd ready for distribution by August 1, The book Is not rendy nnd ndvlces re ceived from Lincoln yesterday are to tho effect that there Is no telling when tha ses sion laws will be given to the public. City officials aro anxious to secure a corrected copy of the new chnrter In order that tho samo may bo printed In pamphlet form for distribution hero. It Is thought that quite a number of copies of tho charter could ba sold providing tho city plnccd the price at not more than $1. This mattor Is to ha taken up at the next council meeting.
