THE TROUBLED POOL ,
The War Breaks Out Afresh ,
With Gould as the .
Aggressor.
This Time the Express Business
theEone of Contention.
The following from Tuesday's Chicago
cage Tribune is of considerable looil
interest :
The opening of thp Wabash to this
city is very likely to cause a disrup
tion tl thr. Iowa pooL Efforts have
been made lately tu got thu Wabash
to join tno pool , but to no effect. The
cause of the refusal of the Wabash to
do so Waa revealed yesterday. The
Wabash haa for some time past been
doing its express business through the
Pacific express company , an organi
zation principally owned and con
trolled by the owners of the Wabash
and Jay Gould. The Rock Island
docs its oppress business throuch the
United State ? , snd the Burlington
mid the Northwsstern through
the American. Notice was given yes
terday to the American that its
fn-i ht would not bo received by the
Union Pacific , which also uses the
Pacific Express , at Council Bluffs , fore
o ther California or Colorado point
Tina action , of course , Mill have the
effect of shutting out the Burlington
and Northwestern from Pacific bnsi-
n * > es , unless they should imko use of
Oould's Pacific Espreaf , and ill
force all express iiusinecs from this
city on iho Wabash and Rock lehnd.
That the Burlington nnd Northwes
tern managers , as well as the Ameri
can expn.s ? company , feel exasperated
at tt ib hull-handed proceeding of
Gould and the Wabash managers is
readily to be imagined , and there w
be a lively contest over the matter in
the courts. It is claimed that Gould
has no riirht to take such action , nnd
that the Union Pacific will be compelled
polled to receive freieht from any
express company or road.
Gould's action indicates that ho
still has n lar a interest in the Wa-
bahh and the Rock Island , nnd that
he means to discriminate as much as
ho can in favor of these two compan
ies. The ofliccrs of the road in the
Iowa pool held a meeting yesterday at
the Burlington cilice , but It did not
transpire what action was taken.
If Gould insists upon carrying oul
the orJorabove referred to , and re
fuses hereafter to take freight from
the American express , it will not onlj r
break up the Iowa pool , but la vcn y
likely to disrupt the Missouri Rive
pool also , as the Interests of the two
pools are clo > ely allied. Neither tht
Burlington ncr the Northwestern wil"
submit to Gould's bulldozing withou
resort to arms , and a most glijnnti c
war among western roads is very im
miuent.

PETITIONS A > U COMMUNICATIONS.
From the mayor :
Gentlemen of the council.
It is with regret that I am com
pelled to return to you the ordinance
making appropriations for the month
of July with one item vetoed , in ac
cordance with the provisions of the
charter. See sec. 50. The item ob
jected to read as follows :
"Patrick Fork , services as sergeant
of N. W. , $15. "
The abbreviation "N. W. " evident
ly stands for night watch. There is
no such office or position as Sergeant
of the Night Watch , and has not been
since October , 1872 , nor has there
been any such position as Night
NVatchman , aa distinguished from po
licemen on the regular force assigned
to night duty , since August , 1875. In
regard to this matter , so far as Police-
nun Ford is concerned , the city rec
ords show that on the 4th day of May
last , the marshal sent a communica
tion to the council as follows :
DlV'AKTMENT OF POL1CK ,
O.MAHA , May 4 , 1880.
Tu tlic Honorable City Couuci :
GENTS I have this day appointed
Patrick Ford as sergeant of the police
force , and to take charge of thorn
while on night duty , and respectfully
ask your approval "of the same.
Respectfully ,
C. J. WKSTEKDAIIL ,
Cily Marshal.
On motion the council approved the
same. There is not and has not been
here , any such otlice as "Sergeant of
the Police Force , " and if there was ,
the Mayor must nominate and the
council confirm.
On the 1st day of Juno the council
passed a rasolution as follows :
Resolved : That the salary of the
police otlicor Ford bo raised from 500
to $75 rjer month , to take effect on
mid after July 1st 1880.
Shortly previous to the first meet
ing in the present nuntli , the Marshal
presented to the clerk a voucher , ns
follows :
The City of Omaha :
To Patrick Ford , Dr. ,
1SSO , July For services aa ser
geant of night watch ,
as per resolution by the
city council § 15
. I certify that Ihe above bill ia cor
rect. C. J. WESTEUDAUL ,
City Marshal.
Up to the time of the passage of the
appropriation ordinance afl referred to
I had not found it necessary to take
. any official notice of the fact that a
so-called sergeant of the night watcher
or "sergeant of the police force" had
been appointed. lean , however , no
. longer overlook it , as I am
compelled to either allow or
refuse to allow pay for the place.
The charter provides that : "Each
, policeman shall receive a eum not ex
ceeding sixty dollars per month to be
tiied by'Ordinance. " See sec. 94.
This precludes the raising of pay of a
policeman by the council either by
resolution or ordinance , even though
he be assigned to unusual duty. He
can , in fact , bo assigned to no duty as
policeman nor included in those speci
a fied in the charter and ordinances. If
- duties are to bo required of the nature
. of police duty which a member of the
regular force may not be required to
- perform , the mayor and council should
provide for the performance of such
duties by ordinance.
tc It may not bo out of place for mo
here to suggest that it has seldom , if
nd ever , been found to work well to per
' manently assign one of a force , all of
whom are of the same grade , to the
command of his comrades. If done
; at all , it should be but temporary ,
- and then by lot or turns. The captain
or commander of a police force , either
y
by day or night , is too important -
ant a position to bo merely as
signed to a member from the ranks ,
without due official appointment under
aer laws duly enacted.

Mr. Boyd made extended remark
opposing the adoption of the report
He stated that a sewer built on the
plans before the council would oet
- § 100,000 a mile and that the plan
would require three or four miles insof
mains , or an expense of three or fou
hundred thousand dollars. Wo no\
pay a tax of five per cent and it vas ;
worth while to consider if we couh
- afford to pay it all out for curbing
guttering and sewerage. He though ;
that there was a bettor plan that
that of direct t sation , nnd that the
nest legislature would grant the ity
i tbe right to issue bocdi BO that &
I who came a'ts ' pg snd eiijoycfl
benefits could help pay for it. He
hoped the sewer would not be built as
if it was , it would meet the general
condemnation of those- who were
responsible for it.
Mr. Dodge replied at length. He
did not think the fight against the
sewer was an honest one , and ridi
culed the idea that any such extent of
sewers should ever be required , or any
such cost ever incurred.
A motion to postpone further con
sideration of the question for two
weeks was lost.
A motion to adjourn for two weeks
was lost.
The question coming up oil the
adoption of the report , the ayes and
nays were called for and resulted in
eight votes for and two against the
report. Adopted.
Mr. Boyd moved that thia contract
before delivery to the partio1 , bo sub
mitted to the council for approval.
Carrried.
On motion the council adjourned at
lli''O for two weeks.
