The old limits of two or three years ago are totally

$10,000 will be needed to relieve the
situation. Thirty-five houses wero
damaged badly. Ten of these havo
been moved back onto their founda

be moved, but must be placed on
higher ground so as to be safe from
and future danger. Seven acres of

Lincoln Journal, 18th: Mayor W.
E. Allen of Homer and Chief H. H.
Antles of ,the state welfare depart
ment, visited theLincoln, commercial'
club" at"nobn-and"talked JorSrfew
minutes with the board of directors,
"No definite arrangements have been
discussed," said the Homer mayor af
ter the meeting, "we are looking for
suggestions more than anything else.
We must havo money to get on our
feet again. The Red Cross havo been
very liberal, but money is needed to
re-establish the town." Mr. Allen
and Chief Antles will meet with tho
Omaha chamber of commerce Friday.
Mr. Antles will probably go from
Omaha to Homer to look over the
present situation there. Ho deplored
the fact that the legislature had
passed no appropriation for such an
emergency as this.... Tho board of
directors of the Lincoln Commercial
club Thursday afternoon went on re
cord as endorsing Governor McKcl-
vie's plan of making an appeal to the
public for funds to assist tho town
of Homer, wiped out by tho flood two
weeks ago. Mayor Allen of Homer
and Chief Antles of the state wel
fare department called on the Com
mercial club officials at noon Thurs
day. They presented a letter from
tho chief executive. Tho governor
called attention to tho fact that the
state had no funds available for such
work as this and suggested tho for
mation of a committee of well known
citizens to present tho matter to the
people of Nebraska. The Lincoln
Commercial club promised to co-operate
in this movement and recom
mended that tho governor proceed to
act on his own suggestion. A sim
ilar letter will bo taken to the Oma
ha Chamber of Commerce by Messrs
Allen and Antics.

Sioux City Tribune, 19: A stumb
ling block has been placed in tho
road of the South Riou:. City ; Hin
di's proposed paving pi eject 'in the
nature of six objections which havo
been filed by an dement which May
or J. L. Phillips characterizes as the
"anti-paving faction." Although tho
contract for the three and a half
miles of concrete paving has already
been let to the John A. Beobe com
pany of Omaha, the objection: which
have been filed with the clerk of the
district court, in an effort to defeat
the paving issue, may cause a tempo
rary delay of several weeks. I low
ever, Mayor Phillips is confident that
tho citizens of South Siouy. City want
tho paving, and that in 3plto of tho
protests of the few farmers, who hold
small acreages within tho city tinUs,
and the railway corporations, the pav
ing will be completed this sui.imer as,
originally planned. At the council
meeting held last night the six ob
jections were road and made a mat
ter of record. Only two of these,
Mayor Phillips believes, present suf
ficient grounds for the abandonment
of tho project. The chlcT objection
presented by the "anti-pavers" is that
it is illegal to pavo outside tho city
limits. Another is that it is illegal
to allow the contractor to nuy tho
paving bonds nt n price fixed by
himself. In answering the first ob
jection, Mayor Phillips explained that
there are two small pieces (if proper

bonds, Mayor Phillips declared that
the city council mado every effort to
secure other bids on tho work and to
sell tho bonds elsewhere, without
s'uecess. Mr. Beebc, tho Omahn con
tractor, signified his willingness to
