Breen's Visit to Lincoln Cause
Much Speculation.
MAY HAN TO HIT CHARTER
Mnn- Think l'ffort Will Hr Made to
Knock Out Kxtenslon Clnuae
anil I'orcp rllr Klectlon
In the Sprlna;.
Although Attorney J. J. Preen denies
thnt his recent visit to the state capital
had any other significance than an In
vestigation of the chnrter provisions In
regard to grading, there seems to be n
general belief that Mr. Breen's visit to
Lincoln wn. more concerned with thnt
clause of the city charter which extended
tho terms of city officials for one year.
The Investigation cf the extension clause
really means that there Is a movement
on foot to force a city election next
spring, but whether this election will in
volve a change from the present form
to the commission form is not known.
The names of those who are behind the
movement are being withheld for the
present. Common report, however, is not
chary about the mention of certain men
as prospective candidates, though these
men are coy about admitting the same.
The formation of the new party. It was
said last night by a man who admitted
thnt "the put was boIlinK." will be more
or less in the nature ot a nonpartisan
organization. It Is known that overturej
have been made to certain of the present
Incumbents of office with the understand
ing that they would support the sptinji
elections, nut the city officials In qiios-
tlon refused to co-operate In the move
and wcro eliminated.
The movement seems to bo making
progress nnd It Is understood that attor
neys Have signified tholr willingness to
prove the flaw In the extension clause.
During the last fow days the activity
of the election agitators has Increased
and it is expected that the filing will
begin toward the end of this month.
January 28 la the last day allowed for
filing.
Charges of Extra agancc.
It was hinted laat night that charges of
extravagance would be made against the
present administration. Increase of tax
ation and paving deals are being quietly
Investigated and the campaign thunder,
If campaign there will be, will probably
be manufactured along those lines.
Mayor Tralnor and the city officials
seem not at all worried at the proximity
of a spring election. It Is understood that
the mayor has obtained the opinion of
Omaha attorneys who are said to have
declared that the extension clause Is valid
and Impossible of being nullified on the
grounds of unconstitutionality.
It seems very probablo, however, that
the case will be tested In court and It the
matter goes to court it Is expected that
tho case will extend over a period of tlmo
sufficiently long to carry the present ad
ministration through the three-year term.
Mayor Mar Veto.
Notwithstanding the fact that the coun
cil by a vote of 5 to 2 last Monday night
admitted the damage claims for paving
district No. 106, It may eventuate that
the mayor will veto the measure.
City Clerk Frank Good yesterday aft
ernoon declared that he would co-operate
with the mayor and indicated an un
willingness to pay the amounts claimed
for damages to property outside the dis
trict in question.
There are nine lots outside the dis
trict," said the clerk, "and there is a
damage claim of ST0 on each of them. The
damage may not be just, but la It legal
to pay the money out of the fund of
paving district No. 105?"
The damage, as allowed by the council,
amounts to $9,160. Excluding the damages
claimed by the owners of lota outside the
district the damage will total consider
ably less.
At present there Is only $7,905 In the
grading fund of district No. 106 and the
residue was voted from the Interest and
sinking and the general funds. This action
Ik also considered Illegal and will probably
be settled by the legal department of the
ciy.
Protestants ITnton.
A union organization among the Protes
tant young people's associations of the
city has been effected In South Omaha
and the first meeting of the society was
held last night at the First Presbyterian
church, Twenty-third and J streets.
The affair was In the nature of a rally
and social and a number of young people
participated In the entertainment.
