A petition protesting against the paving
of Sixteenth street from Douglas street to

Board of Trade Building company. Home
Realty company, Fred Vogel, Jr., owner
of the Schlits hotel building; the Ken
nedy Investment company and the Inde
pendent Realty company, along with five
others who do not own property which
abuts on Sixteenth street, asks that the
street be paved with material other than
wooden blocks.
The petition has been referred to John
P. Breen, who represented the petitioners
asking for wooden blocks.
To consider this etitlon it will be neces
sary for the city council to meet in spe

meeting Tuesday night. i
"The protest is signed by properly own- j

property on Sixteenth fctreet. The other

Nothing but refusals and consequent dis

Under the ordinances of the city plumb

dinances also say that after a period of
twenty days after the expiration of the
licenses they cannot be renewed, but hew
ones must be Issued.
Many plumbers In Omaha have slept on
their rights. They have delayed taking out
new licence until recently. Invariably
they want their licenses renewed, but the
reply, without exception, has been nothing
doing.
They must go before the board of plumb
ing examiners and have new licenses
issued. Some have been requested to take
another examination and some wl be per

Internal Revenue Collector Finds
Corporations Have More
Than Doubled.
Indicating the enormous Industrial growth
of Nebraska, Ross L. Hammond, collector
of internal revenue fur this district, an
nounced Friday that the number of cor
porations which have reported this year la
over double that of last year. There were
417 corporations in the lift of those taxable
last year, whereas the present reports show
a total of 1,045 corporations.
The assessments will be collected from
now until June 30, the date when Hiohb
unpaid shall become delinquent. Mr. Ham
mond explained that the reports received
thus far probably will be accepted as cor
rect, and that his department will not have
to verify them except In case where It
shall develop there is a suspicion of under
rating. Such cases will be placed In the
hands of the Utilted States district attorney.

City Attorney.
Lost, strayed or stolen rrom ths city
attorney's office Is a. bill which Mr. Rln
has drawn, providing for new registration
laws. Mr. Rine has been busy preparing
the bill for some two weeks, and Thurs
day, when he had it all but ready for
presentation to the legislature, It took
wings and flew to parts unknown,
Mr. Rine wants to know what has be
come of his bill and would like to have It
returned. He thinks that perhaps It
crawled into someone's pocket, thus hop
ing to s void the stormy weather It might
encounter when It got to Lincoln.
The bill was drawn after consultation
with Mayor Dahlman and City Clerk Dan
Butler, both of whom are interested in
registration laws at the present time. Mr.
Rine asked their co-operation in running
