Mr. Kelly Is now In New York City, mbere he wont to carry before tho direc tors nt tbo Union Pacific, this contract. He left Omaha last Saturday, and said ho would apprise Mr. Conncll of results by wire. The city attorney does not wish the council to pass on the matter unless It has met tbo approval of theso directors, no he will hold it back awaiting news from the rust. The contract, meanwhile, lb all complete. At the last It was doclded lo omit all ref erence to the J40.000 of taxes duo discov ered by Treasurer HennlnRs, theso bclni: left by mutual agreement for spoclal set tlement botwecn the parties. A consider able portion of them the railroad will not be compelled to pay. J. H. McCulloch. representing the owners of a strip of land fronting on tho west side of Eleventh strcot and extending from the alley Just north of Nicholas street north to the south sldo of Cunningham's addition, says bat the ordinance now beforo the council providing for opening an alley through that section is.merely tho first step in a Bchcme of the Omaha Ilrldge nnd Ter minal Railroad company to secure free right of way from Cunningham's addition down to the National Roofing company's shops, about C.OO feet to the south. This statement made by Mr. McCulloch to the members of the council In general com raltteo meeting yesterday afternoon created a considerable stir, nnd as u result the ordinance will not come up for third read ing' and final passage tonight, us planned, but will be held one week more by the com mittee on street improvements and via ducts, to which It was referred. The com mittee will make thorough Investigation of the representations of Mr. McCulloch be foro reporting to tho council on the meas ure. Tho proposed alley would be 1,320 feet long, running north and south through the entire' strip of land and sixty-nine feet from Eleventh street. The property reaches back 135 feet from Eleventh street. It Is practically unoccupied, save for the Na tional Roofing company's plant, which is only a third of the way south from the Cun ningham addition to the proposed south end of the alley. Mr.' McCulloch Bald that he could see no lustlce In putting an alley down through there for tho mere convenience of this roofing concern. He said that the Omaha Bridge and Terminal line had made a con tract with the National Roofing company ;o furnish shipping facilities, When the oad was enjoined from using Its tracks blch are laid down the proposed line of ihe alley it conceived this scheme to get In there and fulfill Its contract. After get- ttng the city to make an alley there It would then have another ordinance providing tor granting It right of way through the alley. Property owners along Thirty-third street between Cass and Hurt streets who wish that portion brought to the established grade are finally to bo satisfied. The rc fusal of the owner of 315 feet of frontage between Webster and California streets to sign a petition to this effect has been an obstacle to the accomplishment of their desires, but at the committee meeting of the council It was determined to put In operation ways and means tonight that will tesult In the grading of that street by the city within ten days at the most. This Is all because City Engineer Rose water announced to the council yesterday afternoon that n petition was not neccn sary In such a case as the one In hand, that the city could proceed with ap pralscrs and arrive At the damage and do the work. So now O. S. Rcnawa and several more people along that street arc JubllHnt and all the more so because they were turned down by ihp council at Its meeting of last Tuesday night. At that time Mr, Trostler Introduced a resolution asking that the people between Burt ond Webster streets be alloncd to grade that much of Thlrly-thlrfl street at their own expense, They had despaired of persuading the peo ple along the remainder of the three blocks to v in with them. The city engineer advised against allow Ing this, as the rest of the section needed more grading than this, so the burden of expense would be unequally divided when the rest of the people come to (irade their part at their own cost. He said It would be also establishing a bad precedent. On the strength of this statement Mr. Trostler withdrew his resolution and on the strength of that withdrawal G. S Rcnawa, representing those along tliBt one block who WHnt the grading so much, was before the council in the afternoon in his war paint. As a result of his efforts Mr. Rosewater promised to draw up an ordi nance providing for (trading the whole three blocks by appraisement and this measure will be Introduced and read the first and second times tonight. Moreover, as the property owners are In a great uurry to get It done, tho councilroen of fered to have a special meeting at any time after today to pass the ordinance on third roadlng, so the graders could get to work without waiting until the meeting next week. So now all that Mr. licnawa need do is to rustle from these people the $35 to pay the appraisers and have it on deck In time for the check to go in pinned to the ordinance tonight. A.

The reported signing of Pitcher Dlneen by the Boston club of the American brought up the question of the blacklist, but the It took two meetings last night for the Board of Education to decide that it wanted the heat In the new High school building to be maintained night and day to assist in drying the new walls and the plastering. The progress of the peculiar course of events was dramatic and the feature of It all was that eight members of the board votJ to deny the man who has been keep ing the fires going during the night his pay and then after the regular meeting was ad journed besought President Hayward to coll a special session, at which they voted to allow the money. The situation arose over a report of the committee on heating and ventilation, which was read by Chairman Robert Smith, as follows- This monev usked was for the tiayment of the extra man needed to keep the fires going at night utter me npuuir unv en gineer Ht the High school. Mr. Kltzgenild. Iind quit work for the day. This had been done for n week tiast. as Architect 1. a ten ser lmd snld the beat was absolutely neces sary to the welfare 01 tnc butiatng. in me emergency the heating and ventilation committee hod assured Mr. ntzgerald that the board would pnv lor tno extra man needed If he would hire htm. Barnard. Wood and Howard attacked this proposition on the ground thrt the pro ceedings had not been regular and that they didn't care to allow the pay until they had Investigated. Wood moved to refer tho report back to the committee from which it came and the votes of Barnard, Christie, Howard, Theodore Johnson. W, r. John son. J. J. smith, stutmenciori ana wooa tarried tho motion. Punkhouser. Levy, Maynard, Robert Smith and Hayward voted against It. -All right," retorted Mr. Smith, "this committee has done its best for the good of the new building. Now you have turned us down for the pay of this extra man, who Is absolutely essential, and I shall stop the heat Immediately after this meet ing and dismiss the man, as I do not be lieve he should work for nothing, nor yet that the Janitor up there should be com pelled to pay him." That was all that was wild at the time and the business of the meeting proceeded. Meartwhllc Architect Latenset circulated around the room, urging upon the eight the fact that the building would be very seriously damaged If the heat were stopped. Ilnh Smith Mand I'at. The upshot was tlifct when the meeting adjourned the eight, minus Wood, who went home, gathered around Smith and exhorted him not to turn off the heat. "Why," 1 must." said Smith. "You fel lows wouldn't pay the man I've got there." The seven said they had not understood what It meant and the building committee said that It would keep up the heat Itself. Finally the seven persuaded Mr. Hayward to call a special meeting at once, so they might "get an understanding of the matter." Members were pulled In from the ele vators and hallways and Robert Smith moved that JG0 a month extra be allowed Janitor Kltrgerald from November IS to February 1 to pay for extra help and every member present voted for It. Then followed some discussion as to how the building was getting along. Mr. I.alen ser and others giving Information on the subject. It was disclosed that the pressure had been too high In the boilers once or twice and that one boiler wall was cracked as a consequence. W. F. Johnson Intro duced a resolution Instructing tho com mittee on buildings and property to In vestigate these boiler walls and report to the board. This was adopted. A recommendation from the heat and ventilation committee granting recognition to the Engineers' union and advising en gineers In the schools to affiliate with such organization, It feasible, was adopted after a hot fight.

The results of the meeting of the High school committee In the afternoon appeared again In n further resolution concerning the attempt to secure arms for the High school cadets from the government. It was adopted. It provides that the president and secretary take the matter up further with the senator and member of the house from Omaha along lines which it U hoped may avoid tho difficulties heretofore encoun tered. W F.

The old matter of the Insurance fund came up for final adjustment- Thirteen of the city's school buildings are not Insured. On May C lau a resolution -was passed In this connection which was oomewhat am biguotie and was Interpreted in two different ways by two factions of the board, which took sides on this proposition. The resolu Hon was Intended to state that a sum should be taken from the insurance fund of suffi clent amount to leave In it as much money us would have paid the premiums on the insurance of these thirteen buildings from tho date of their construction to the present time had they been Insured to the customary amount of half their cost.
