WILL INIEST
OUTLET
OP. SEWER
r
BURLINGTON OPPOSES USE OF
SUBWAY AS PERMANENT
OUTLET FOR SEWER.
from Tuesday's Dally.
The question as to what the city
should do in regard to the outlet of
the new sewerage system was the
cshief topic- of discussion at the ses
sion of the city council last evening
and the matter left for further inves
tigation by the city engineer and the
streets, alleys and bridges commit
tee in the hopes of reaching some
agreement that would allow the use
of the subway under the Burling
ton tracks for the flood waters.
F. T. Harrow, engineer of the rail-
road company, presented a commun
ication stating that the width of the
proposed sewer would cut the en
trance of the subway down to fif
teen feet and therefore would be a
danger to travel and also that the
railroad company did not desire to
give permit to use the subway in
this manner permanently.
The legal department of the Bur
lington in a communication pointed
out that the proposed watercourse
would undermine the south wall of
the viaduct and that the Burlington
would take legal proceedings to see
that the protection of the subway
was looked after.
City Attorney Rawls presented a
written report at the request of the
mayor relative to the matter and
quoted the ordinance of December
14, 1SCS. in which the provisions
were made that the subway should
rot be damaged or injured in any
way and that the width of the west
approach be made at twenty feet.
The railroad company was required
to keep the condition of the subway
in safety. The city attorney held that
under the provisions of the ordinance
that the railroad could lawfully pre
vent action by the city that might
injure the condition of the subway.
Tfce master was discussed for some
time by the members of the council,
and oi motion of Councilman Mc-Tlakc-n
the engineer was authorized
to investigate the matter and pre
pare a report as to how the south
wall could be protected and if neces
sary that the sewer outlet be made
through this wall instead of the pres
ent plan.
The Burlington railroad company
also asked for a reference for W. H.
Gouchenour from the city which was
his last employer, the railroad hav
iug reecived an application from Mr.
Gouchenour for work. The matter
was referred to the street commis
sioner. A petition signed by J. M. Cun-
I'ingham, J. A. Burrows, A. F. Kno
kicek and some hundred and forty
ether residents of the city was hand-
in enB(- th,t rhiPf nf Pn,if,fi
P.arclay be replaced on account of
what the claimants contended was
his position in the strike. Mayor
Johnson stated that as many of the
signers of the petition were not
property owners that the matter be
referred to the police committee for
future action.
' In regard to the request of Ed
Mason for permission to erect a gas
oline filling station on Main street,
tic committee presented the opinion
of City Attorney Rawls in which it
was held that the tank would come
under the provisions of the city or
dinances preventing obstructions in
the streets and accordingly the com
mittee recommended that the request
be not granted and this motion was
unanimously adopted. t
The streets, alleys and bridges
committee through Chairman Ptacek
reported that the street commission
er needc-d a number of scrappers and
on motion the committee was au
thorized to purchase the same.
Chairman McMaken of the parks
and improvement committee report
ed that he favored a motion to have
the concerts of the Elks band discon
tinued for the present at least and
accordingly a motion was adopted
that the concerts be ceased with the
one of Wednesday night.
The lighting committee through
Chairman Schulhof reported favor
ably on the matter of a light in the
second ward petitioned for by Claus
Boeiel, Jr., and others. Mayor John
son thought that the lights already
ordered should be installed before ad
ditional lights were ordered and this
was etplained by Councilman Ptacek
that the light company had delayed
the matter owing to the fact that
there would be many applications
for individual service when the lights
were installed and the material need
ed would be better available later.
The first partial estimate in pav
ing district No. 22 was read and gave
the contractor, the Modern Construc
tion Co., the sum of $978.40 as due
in the work, the city retaining
twenty per cent of the total cost of
the job. This is the paving contract
near the Nebraska Masonic Home
which is to be paid by the Masonic
Home association.
An amendment of section 14 of
ordinance No. 59 0, which is the wa
ter rate ordinance was then read and
the amendment establishes a mini
mum rate for the use of the city wa
ter.' The amendment was placed on
its serond and third readings and
passed.

On the bids for the construction
of permanent crossings the council
received but one bid, that of Wil
liam Keif and which agreed to do
the work for the sum of 25c per
square foot. On motion of Council
man Ptacek the bid was accepted.
Councilman Bestor stated that many
cases had been reported where the
private contracts for sidewalks had
been made by individuals and that
the contractor had been requested to
make the walks lighter than the city
specifications called for. On motion
the street commissioner had been re
quested to see that all walks came
up to the city standard.
On motion of Councilman Ptacek
the city engineer was authorized to
complete the grade on the north side
of the second ward school in order
that a permanent sidewalk might be
constructed.
Councilman McMaktn called the
attention of the council to the fact
that in a few instances there was
property located on the alley of the
city along the course of the new sew
er on Washington avenue and the
city engineer was authorized to make
a survey there and also the clerk was
requested to notify the property own
ers to remove any buildings or prop
erty that might lie on the line of the
city sewer.
Councilman Erittain asked that the
crossings on Lincoln avenue near the
Burlington shops be repaired as they
were dangerous to persons traveling
in automobiles and accordingly the
matter was referred to the street, al
