Whila no steps have been taken oy m
city authority to bring about changes in
the charter o that the city of South Omaha
will be able to vote on a aewer and par
Ing bond proposition. It la expected that
something along ! line will be coming
aoon. The talk of remodeling the present
sewer svstcm io a to Include the entire
city and to construct a big sewer to the
river I still In the minds of the people
and the city official, but nothing la being
,l.,ne about the matter at tha present time.
Whin this sewer system problem was being
sgltnted. It was suggested that the legis
lature be requested to so change the laws
that the city might vote 1150,000 or even
tM.inO for a new. sewer system. No esti

the proposal system, but engineers have

Mr. Burton Instructed hi attorney to
carry the ult over for ft time.
When the sewer proposition goes through
It I hoped that teps will be taken to
riven om relief to tile pople traveling
over Twenty-fourth street. Thl pavement
I In very bad condition and an met Ment
In looked for every due on accotmt of the
deep holes In the pavement.
There wa aome talk awhile ago about
getting out another petition to circulate
among Twenty-fourth street property own
em asking for new pavement. A little
talk among some of the property owner
fhowed that aurh a petition would not he
considered and the matter wa dropped.
The city cannot spend money to repave the
1 street. van If the general fund was full
t0 overflowing;. What repair are made
muat com out of the street repair fund.
These repairs, when made, consist of the
throwing of broken stones Into the holes.
This ston la soon worn away and the
holes are then as deep as ever. The street
cannot be paved tinder th law under
which tha paving of Railroad avenue whs
done for the reason that a paving district
had already been established on Twplr
fourth tract, from A to Q streets, and the
street paved. In some place the holes
In the pavement are fully six Inches deep
and thl make driving something of an ad
venture. Just how the city officials ex
pect too get around the legislature In this
matter of paving has not heen made pub
lic, but th asaertlon has been made that
there will be an attempt anyway to remedy
the present lw regarding paving and
paving repair.
