Those who desire to go to Columbus
and return the same day over the U. P.
find it very difficult to do so and the
Sun thinks the officials are not using
Schuyler right in not having No. 2, the
limited from the west, stop here. If one
goes to Columbus on the 1:30 he must
either stay until the next morning to
come home or go. to Fremont and come
back on No. 7, thus traveling ninety
miles to make thirty. It is an injustice
to the town Henry Muhle who went
to the Pacific coast some time ago to
look over the country was in Schuyler
yesterday. He has decided not to take
his family there and has bought himself
another farm this side of Columbia.

Minutes of last meeting read and ap
proved. Telegram profierred to do the legal
printing of the council, first time at two
thirds legal rate, second time at one
third legal rate, job work at fair com
mercial rates. Referred to committee
on printing.
L Gluck offered to let the council have
the use of his office one year at $50 a
year. After some contest as to which
committee should look after this, Speice
remarked that as perhaps there was a
legal reason why it should be $50 this
year, and only $24 last, it might be well
enough to refer it to the judiciary,
which was accordingly done.
Water Commissioner O. Lu Baker re
ported as follows for the year ending
May 1, 1891:
Paid for coal $133190
Paid for smokestack 224 00
Paid for sundries 323 01

On motion of Gray, the report was re
ferred back for detailed report.
The petition of M. Whitmoyer, John
B. Geitzen, S. C. & C. C. Gray, L. J.
Baker, L. W. Weaver and others for
sidewalk, was referred to committee on
streets and grades.
Committee on public property re
ported a basis of contract with A.
Heintz for use of electric lights, and re
commended a copy be sent to Heintz for
acceptance or rejection. Carried.
The committee on police, to whom was
referred the petition of Albaugh, Schon
lau and others, with reference to
slaughter houses in the city limits, re
ported that they found the three
slaughter houses in a fair condition and
they believed if the ordinary care is
taken to keep the floors scrubbed, and
the hog lots and yards free from car
casses, there need be no further com
plaint. Frank Coleman's bill for extra pay
becanse of a wound received while on
duty, was the cause of animated discus
sion. Boettcher thought that it would
be no more than right for the city to
reimburse Coleman for his doctor's bill
at least. Pollock thought he was no
more entitled to pay than a farm hand
who should accidentally fall off a load
of hay and get hurt; the service was
dangerous, known to be such before en
tered upon. Gondring believed that
Coleman was entitled to extra pay; he
was in the strict line of duty when hurt;
he was unfitted for work; he had to pay
out money for services of a physician.
Pollock said he diden't believe in taking
the public money to pay a private debt;
if any wished to contribute towards a
fund of this sort, it was their privilege.
Speice and Gray spoke in the same
strain. The report of the committee,
adverse to the allowance of the claim,
was adopted.
The clerk was instructed to advertise
for bids for furnishing the city with
lumber for the current year, according
to a list prepared.
The city treasurer's report for the
month of April was referred to the com
mittee on finance, and his bond ap
proved.
The finance committee was instructed
to prepare an estimate of expenses for
the current year, and also a statement
of receipts and expenditures for the
past year.
On the proposition of M. K. Turner &
Co. to publish legal notices of the city
council for one-third legal rates, com
mittee asked that the matter be post
poned as other bids were not in.
A license to sell liquor was granted to
F. Longtuvwith J. P. Becker and Carl
Reinke as sureties.
The census of poll tax-payers as pre
pared by Otto Heuer was referred to the
committee on streets and grades.
The committee on waterworks was in
structed to have one of the boilers at
the waterworks reset, and to examine
into the supply of water through the

the district, snd as to the advisability
of the district furnishing same to the
pupils, free of cost to them, have car
ried out your instructions, and beg
leave to report as follows :
In order to arrive at the probable
cost, we have taken for a basis, the
number of pupils enrolled iu our
schools during the present year, and
ascertained just what books they are
required to use. We have them fig
ured the cost of a complete list of
said books.to the district and for the
suke of a comparison, the cost, at re
tail, to the pupils. We have found,
that by contracting with publishers
for the use of their publications for a
period of three years, we can pur
chase text books at prices about 20
per cent lower than dealers can get
them for, at wholesale. We summa
rize as follows:
Number of pupils enrolled, in
1890-91, 629. Cost of one complete st
of books for same, to the district,
about f 1,150. Cost of same to pupils,
at retail, about $2,000. Saving, if
books purchased by district, $850.
We estimate that, if we can induce
such pupils as already own books, to
use them, instead of all coming onto
the district for their liooks, that $600
will purchase all books needed dur
ing the next school vear, and that
an outlay of $350 annually, thereafter
unless there be a rapid increase iu at
tendance, will supply all books. The
above includes all copy books and
slates, as well as text books.
Your committee is of the opinion
that the greatest objections to the
dan of district ownership of books,
s the additional work it will entail
upon teachers.and the responsibility
of looking after all books, to prevent
their being lost, stolen of destroyed.
The legislature passed a law on the
subject of text books for schools, at
its recent session and if we are right
fully informed, it requires school dis
tricts to purchase and loan to pupils
all text books. Granting this to be
the case, there Is nothing more for
this committee to do in the matter,
and it submits this report simply
for the information it may contain.
D. F. Davis,
Chairman of Com.
This was ordered filed.
The committee on schools and
teachers reported adversely on the
matter of school exhibits at the State
fair.
The old board then adjourned sine
die.
The new board was called to or
der by J. N. Taylor and R. H. Henry
was elected tempoiary president and
J. N. Taylor temporary secretary.
The new board is as follows : David
Schupbacb, J. N. Taylor, R. H. Hen
ry Carl Kramer, George Lehman and
C. A. Speice. The board stands the
same as last year with the exception
of C. A. Speice who succeeded D. F.
Davis.
David Schupbach was re-elected
president, George Lehman vice presi
dent and after taking several ballots
for secretary, without result the mat
ter was postponed.
It was decided to have a general
picnic for the pupils at the close of
the year. It was decided to employ
Miss Parker of Lincoln to give the
graduating class instructions in elo
cution for a week, previons to the
commencement exercises, which are
to be held at the opera house, Tues
