MAYOR DOYD'S CLOSING WORDS. Inauguration of Mayor Ilrontch Ho AripoltiiB a City Attorney Imst Session of tlio Council of 1880 ana Firm ofl'fiat of 1887. Tlio Old nnd Tlio Now. It was n state occasion iitthc new coun cil chamber which was attended by all of the members of tlio old and new mu nicipal leglibtivo bodies , tlio city olliclnls rotiriiiK and tlio city olllcials elect , iind fully two hundred interested citizens last evening. President Itecliel presided with his accustomed case , and sixteen aider- ma 'c chairs were hllud with sixteen out- KoinKi remainiiiK , and expectant city fathers , while seven others occupied seats in the immediate rear. All of the retiring and now olllclals were also present. As a somewhat tedious preliminary it was necessary to dispose of the remain- in t business of the outgoing council lirst , and this was done with nil possible alac rity. It will bo found subsequently under its own caution. Succeeding the business session of the old council Mayor 15oytl was invited by President Dcchel to deliver any commu nication to the council which lie might dcsiio. and ho therefore presented to thu council his concluding message , which is iriven below. Mayor Boid's message was heartily applauded. A recess was then taken until the jour nal of the old council could bo com pleted. TUP. NKW COUNCIL IS I1OUK. AtO:45 : the old council was again called to order , and the journal was approved. Councilman Daily ottered a resolution of thanks to President liecliul and City Clerk Southard. President Heehel re sponded hi icily. Mayor-elect Uroatch then came for ward and tpoK the oath of ollicn , which was administered to him by Judge Stcn- berg. AB the new mayor responded "I do. " the audience broke Into applause. The mayor then signed his ollioial bond , ami the instrument , for $ ' . ' . 0,000 , with llyron Heed and William Wallace as sureties , was approved. Mr. Dailey theh said : Now Mr. Presi dent , 1 move you that this council do ad journ sine die. The motion prevailed and the council of 1880 was a memory of the past Clerk Southard in a few minutes called the new council together. Councilman Leo said : "As it is now onr duty to elect , a president to preside over us for the no\t twenty months , 1 take much pleasure in presenting to you tlio name of Wm. K. Mcchol. " Mr. Leo then highly culogi cd Air. Uecholas an impar tial presiding oOicor and genial gen tleman. No other nominations were made and Mr. lieehel was elected by a unanimous voto. voto.Mr. Mr. Bephcl said that he regarded the election on this occasion as a triple honor as it was the third time ho had been thus dignified. If the past was any criterion of the future ho would assure the council lhat he would use his best en deavors to extend impartiality and justice to all. Mr , H.iiloy placed in nomination for city clerk Joseph U. Southard. Mr. Southard was elected by a unanimous vote and briolly returned his thanks. Mr. Hascall presented a motion to ad journ , but withdrew it in view of two communications from the mayor. The following were the communications : Appointing Morris Morrison , John II. IJutler and W. 11. Spaulding as ap praisers on land adjoining Lake street which is taken in widening that street. Confirmed. Appointing John L. Webster as city attorney. Councilman Leo moved that this communication - munication be referred to the committee on judiciary. Councilman Ford moved as an amend ment that the npi > olntnicnt be immedi ately continued , lie said that all of the councilmen know Mr. Webster us well now as they would in a week. Councilman Leo said it had been an es tablished custom of the council to refer all appointments to the judicary com mittee and it ought not to be overridden. Furthermore , ho did not think that to confirm an appointment of city attorney in a minute was puying proper respect to a faithful city official who , as city at torney , had saved the city hundreds of thousands of dollars City Attorney Cou ncil. ncil.Councilman Councilman Hascall said ho thought that immediate disposal of such an ap pointment scorned to him too hasty. While ho had no disposition to antago nize the mayor , ho thought it would bo but proper to await until the council could have at least one committee meet ing.The The amendment was lost and the motion to refer prevailed. The official bonds of city ofiicials wore presented and accepted. The bond of John llush. for city treasurer , is for $ ' , ' 00,000 With Fred W. Gray , M. Toft , Patrick Martflng , Dennis Cunningham , Lewis 8. Reed and Michael Donovan as' Mircties. Councilman Manville introduced the first ordinance of the now council , it being for the location of water hydrants at the intersections of twelve streets and in the center of Twenty-fifth street. Councilman Leo introduced n resolu tion declaring the standing committees of tlio council to be these on judiciary , finance , claims , grades and grading , streets and alleys , police , public property and buddings , fire and waterworks , gas And electric lights , sidewalks and bridges , printing , sewerage , pavincr , curbing and guttering , viaducts and rail ways , boulevards , pints and additions , and rules : and all committees to consist of three members except ( upon amend- mant of Mr. Ilasoall ) grades and grading which is to consist of live members. Adopted. The council then adjourned. Proceedings of the Council nt * 1RHO.

A resolution by Mr. Schrocder refund ing money to parties who had paid moio thau the latest appraisement on Nine teenth street property was passed. Another communication , from the agent of Sells Uros' . show , C. T. Sivalls , stating that the cit3' license for a circus , $500 , is prohibitory to all tent shows , and asking the council to reduce it to $250 , was referred to the committee on lire and police to be appointed. Miiyorjnoyd'H Valedictory. Gentlemen ot the City Council : In com pliance with an honored custom , and in con- foHi'lty with the law , at the close of my second end term , I heiewith submit a Kcnoral state ment of the situation and condition of the city In relation to Its government , finances and Improvements. It Is not my Intention to enter Into any lengthy dissertation , but In the briefest manner possible Rive > ou a synopsis of what has been accomplished dur ing the past two j ears , and of the condition of city aiT.Urs at tlie present time. Before dolnc so , however , allow me to congratulate you , and through you the people of the com munity , upon the almost manclous rapidity of the croth of. Omaha , the standing It has attained In the coniinei rial world , the general hoalthfiiliicss ot its inhabitants , and Its free dom fiom calamities by tire or other causes. At the commencement of my administration 1 found a floating Indebtedness of over Sl'AOOO , for the payment of which , at the election ot 18S5 , bonds to the amount of SlUO.ouo were voU-d ; 8103,135 were rcall/cd tiom the sale of said bonds , leaving btlll an indebtedness of ovur Siii.OOOhlch was paid out ol the general fund. The treasurer's i ex port shows n total bonded indebtedness of Sl,04Si > , and of this them Is still In the p < ivlii fund S2b,2l'J.l. ) Contracts lor paving aie alie.uly let whereby this lattei amount , and perhaps two or three thousand dollars more , will bo requited for the pay ment of paving intersections. It IMS been the policy of the city council and mayor at all times to keep within the limit ot cxuoucli- ture and no liability has been Incurred be- joud the sum at our dlsposil. The financial condition of the city Is in the best possible hhape , its credit Is high In the money centers , bettei to-day than ever before. While It Is true there are some unpaid bills outstanding Micro are cnouzh In the special and judgment funds together with the amount which will be reserved as purchase money foi Htrips ot streets \aeated and oideied sold to adjoining property holders to mote than p.iy all obligations. noAiii ) or pum.ic wonics. By an examination of the report of the chairman of the board of public works , it will be seen that during the mint yo-ir thorn were expended for ctwling $ Hj.i.ViO ; pa\lng , SIHI.OOO , dhided as follows : bO,200 yards of cedar block pi\ement : ; 17,000 jards of Colo- ratio sandstone and -Ci.lKX ) of asplmltum. For seu eiaige thu sum of 31U0.400 was ex pended and for curbing and guttorlni ; S50.700. Two viaducts over the railroad tracks were constructed ( which will greatly inure to the advantage and safety ot the leshlents In the houthern part of the city ) at a cost of fcllS.Gci. ! . Other expeudituies for sidewalks , cross walks and about § ! , bOO on account ot thu city hall building 111 make the total for all purposes expended during the past fiscal yearo\or Si > 00uoo. All the work done has neon of the most substantial clmiaeter and the city has recehed lull value for eveiy dol- lai ot this amount The board ot public works Is , in my opin ion , one of th most important departments of the city government. Upon It rests the responsibility for the faithful performance ol nil connactotk , and 1 cannot too highly compliment Its present chairman for the olli- clent manner In which ho has tilled the posi tion. ENCTlNKEItlNO DKI'AnTMKJfT. The cltv engineer's report will .show you the kiudand magnitude of the puullc im- pro\ements , thu substantial character of which has attracted attention of citizens not only otMlssomi river towns but also of these of eastern cities.Ve have altogether four teen und three-tourths miles of paved streets , one and a third miles of pa\ed allcjs and thirty miles of sewerage , the total cost of which exceeds the Mini of two and one fourth million dollars. This , for a city that live years ago was without pavement or sewer age , Is cuitalnly creditable to those who ha\e bceu In the management of Its : > flairs. suriiiiNTKMixr ; : OF mm.w.vos. From the report of the superintendent of buildings , It will bo seen that tor the nine mouths ending March Ul , IbbT , thniusnio permits Issueu for the erection ot I-/ ! build ings at an estimated cost ot about § 1,000.000. Since the creation of this ollico a better class ot buildings Is belui ? erected. The foes col lected , 1 think , art ) too high , as they more than pay the cexponses ot the ollico and should bo reduced. Mho woiklng force In this doparment must bo Increased , temporarily at least There aio many val uable suggestions In this report which will require the attention of the next council. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Our public schools have long been the pride of our citizens and the wonder and admira tion of strangers who visited us. The ex penditure for the year 1630 was S2GVM3.05. ot which amount gl07s > ll.05 were outalued from license and linos. From the same source the present year the amount will x- ceeu SiW.ooo. Our schools being entirely under the control of the board of euucatlon , the mayor and council have but little else to do than to provide funds for their maintenance , which has always been done in the most w lllliii ; and liberal manner. Indeed 1 am confident that more Is spent , and will be spent , In the education ot childien by this city In proportion to Us population , thau by any other in the United States. Under the new charter the polleo depart ment of the city will be re-organUed and thu number of men Increased. The force at pres ent consisting of forty men Is entirely too hinall , and. under the ccrcumstances , the only wonder is , that such good order has been ss generally pre.erved. . With few exceptions the men an * Intelligent and capable , but as "a stream cannot rise higher than Its foun tain head , " neither can u body of men bo vigilant and ofliclent when conttolled by Ignorance and stupidity. LAW llKPAIirMENT. There are 157 suits now against the city , Involving the sum of { 2 ji,0ii.4i ; ; During my term of ofllcu claims against the city aggru- catlng the sum of S'JUi.44l.U ( have been dis posed of , the city Ulng held not liable to the extent of ono dollar. The balance now remaining In the judg ment fund Is 8iiUH.43. : This fund would. have been practically Intact but for appro priations made for the payment of damages awarded by appraisers for opening streets , etc. , In case * where the parties appealed and subsequently accepted the amount of the award. The city attorney has been active In prq- curlne evidence In every rase , and the law department hiisbttsn managed with signal ability and assiduity. Wo have thus far reviewed the progress of our city und we now come to the report of the lire department. By this It will bo seen that for the year ending March SI , IbW the number of alarms was LIT and tha total lost fliiSSiO. The expenditure of the depart ment for all purposes was 40.986.23. The Ore department as at present organUed Is bout as efficient aslt could be , autl 1 ac count for this on the grouid that the chief lias been allowed to choos&hls own men and bojudgo of their capability. The supply and pressiirchot water for lire purposes has not been ( entirely satisfactory. oven In the business portion of the city , and hydrants In the vlrlnlly of-nnd for ome dis tance this side of llangrotn jnrk and nlso In the vicinity of Tenth and. Castrllar streets arc of but little avail.'This matter will re quire the Immcdlatn attention of the Incom ing mayor and council. IJnclnes will have to bo used to protect stirh portlonsof thoclty , or else a system of stand pipes must bo erected. While 1 found It necessarv many times to disagree with the council. 1 endeavored on cvciy occasion to give plain and Incontro vertible reasons therefor ; and although a majority of the members diJTer with mo po litically , they have In almost every Instance sustained my ofllclal acts. Mv one aim has beou the welfare of Omaha and 1 liaso the nroud satisfaction of knowing that In Micatlng ofiice 1 leave its affairs In the very best condition possible. Vorv Hesperttullv. JAMts 12. UoD. . Ma ) or. 1'OIdcn AM ) P1KI5 COMMISSION. They Will Not Appoint the Chief Ini- niodlntcly Humors. The police anil fire commissioners met yesterday and qualified. In ( view of the fact that Mayor-elect Uroateh , who is cx-olHcio a member of the board , had not yet been inducted into ollico , no other business was transacted. Commissioner Hartman stated that it will bo two or three days before the commission will select a chief ot police. Commissioner Bennett said : "A very important thing for us is to get a good chief , a good , first-class man. That's what we have got to do. " It was rumored late last evening that the question had been asked of John Mc Donald if lie would accept second place on the police force. To this , the story goes , McDonald asked : "Under whom ? " The reply was , "Hutlor. " McDonald thereupon said "No. " Whether this was a pointer that Hutler is the coming man may bo judged as everyone pleases. The I'nintprn In Session. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the painters met at Met/ hall in this city to discuss the dilToronccs between themselves and employers. Master Workman Win. W. Craven presided and Secretary James 11. Hunt handled the minutes. When the gavel fell and the audience was seated , the sight was a .splendid tribute to honest labor of America. Probably no more intelligent , neatly drcsted and orderly body of men ever assembled. Tlio prevailing order and quiet of the assemblage showed clearly that uppermost in the minds of all was the full appreciation of the situation and the determination to meet the issues at hand in a calm , business-like , yet deter mined manner. Some time was con sumed in examinations by a committee , and it was about 10:15 : when the master workman called to order. Mr. Craven then addressed the members with a few timely remarks. 'Oi the press ho re turned the thanks of jjho painters for the fairness and kmduesslhey had received at its hands. In the present ( triko tlio paint ers had made every oll'erj to the employ ers for a fair and equitable arbitration of the diU'crcnccs. but in every instance had been meet with th& plrtin "Accept our terms or accept nonolj" " The men who now demand an Increase of wages are the ones , whose skilled labor und artistic touch made the collosal granduor which potentates feasted their eyes upon , and monopolists onjovod , and between them and the public was a fra ternal tie which warranted , them in ex pecting its endorsement ol any just and fair demand which tbeyi hhould make. Ho cautioned the members from doing anything whichmjgiit bd construed wrongfully. In the' present crisis the painters had , to bo successful , enjoy the endorsement of the honest citizens and the confidence of the general public in their good intentions. And if their de mands should bo acceded to and they should be successful , then if they saw lit to celebrate the righting of a wrong.they could do so as loyal citi/eus of their glowing city , and , endorsed by the law and justice loving public march out be neath the folds ol the stars and stripes , the great banner of truth , liberty anil justice. Mr. Craven's address was loudly applauded. Secretary Hunt reported several paint ers still at work and the matter was re ferred to the executive committee. A communication was presented from the master painters in which they agreed to pay 27i cents per hour for lirst class painters , pay paper hangers thu same wages as heretofore and permitall hands , save these blacklisted , to return to work , provided the workmen should not bo per mitted to dictate whom should and should not bo employed. The communication was tabled. The master workman announced that the executive committed had decided that no man should go to work and that all should to-day bo called out. The secretary reported several applica tions for painters to do small jobs and the executive committco was instructed to appoint men for the work. Mr. Atwatur addressed the meeting in a few well chosen words in which ho gave out considerable encouragement and said that the principal shops in the city were willing to accede to their terms and with determination and good order th painters would succeed. At noon the mooting took a recess and at 3 o'clock was again called to order , when u number of icports of the com mittee were receiveil and disposed of. Thu session continued until 5 o'clock , when it adjourned until this morning nt 0 o'clock. The Master Painters Make a Proposal At a meeting of the Master House Painters association last evening a resolu tion was carried to extend to the painters and paper hangers the following propo sitions' : Reached , That we. the Master Patnteisas- sociatlon of Omaha , tender to the painters and paper hamrers in this city , now on a strike , the following propositions : 1.
