Fifteen Counollmon Decide to Lot
Them Go On
WITH THE CITY HALL BUILDING.
Import of the Resolution Paused at
the Meeting I just Night Tin-Major
nnd I'ubllu Works Must
Concur.
Unanimous City Solonn.
The small number of people who had the
temerity to venture out in the storm last
night to lend their picscncu to the proceed
ings of the city council were tieated to an en
tertainment that lasted for ono hour and n
half , nnd witnessed another Juggling act in
the vexations city hall.building matter , Pif.
teen of Omaha's Colons responded to their
names when the cleric called the roll , und
quickly settled down to business.
The market house ordinance , as returned
by the committee , was first taken up and
rend by the city clerk. The rules weio sus
pended and the ordinance was engrossed to
be road for the third time on Tuesday even
ing next.
Councilman Lowry introduced tlio follow
ing resolution nnd asked that it bo adopted :
Kcsolved , That the board of pub-
lie works bo and hereby is di
rected to notify Kogaii brothers
to proceed with the completion of the work
under their contract lor the construction of
the basement of the city hall , and the said
Kegan llros. are heicby required topiocecd
with said work and complete the same with
out delay.
Councilman Kiispar nsked If there weio
nny communications from Hcgan Hros. or
llrcnmui & Co. regarding the matter. Mr.
Lowry hundi'd in the appended :
OMUIV , Doc. 10. To the Hononrblo the
Mayor and Tlty Council , City of Omaha.
Gentlemen : Wo hcieby agivo to lower the
cast wall of the city hall building to the
itolnt immediately abovu the concrete top of
Mr. Itosowater'h new building on the south
wall ten feet and return on ull , tlu > partition
walls running into and 'idjoining the cast
wall , also ten feet and north on the east wall
to the point adjoining south of sub-basement ,

Subject to instructions of the city engineer
nnd board of public works.
Councilman Kierstcad and ISurnham
doubted the legality of the proposed measure
of changing the plans.
If Councilman Counsman was in favor of sus-
Ist pending woik on tlio building until spring.
Councilman Ilascnll thought that with the
necessary precaution on the part of the build-
IIIR engineer , woik could bo carried on
safely. Ho wanted to sco that cast wall up
before spring.
Councilman Ford was anxious to have the
Lowry resolution pasV-d ami the matter
nettled , aslloss" Stout's "cappers" were
tearing tlio clothes on" of him to favor
Uio "Boss. " Ford said ho has but one
suit of clothes , nnd ho didn't want to buy an
other outfit this winter.
I , Connciinmn Hiinlmm moved as n snhstl-
I tuto to Lowry's it-solution that tlio matter of
I * . . building the east wall bo referred to the
board of public woiks , city engineer and
building inspector.
"Let's vote It down , " growled Lowry.
Councilman Leo could not see why Hctran
Ill-others could not contlnuo on the building
whtlo this cast wall question was being set
tled. Mr. Leo asked City Attorney Wcbsti-r
what effect the nnnulling of Ucgan Brothers'
contract , and they not being recognized by
the board of nubile works and tlio city engin
eer , would hnvo upon Dm city If they contin
ued on the work.
Mr. Webster replied that tlio chairman of
the ooard of public works had power to annul
the contract , but the council could renew it
If they t.iiw fit. They also had full | wcr to
make n now contract for lowering the cast
wall. Ho warned the council , Uowcvcr , lo.

Mr. Uurnlmm'R substitute to Lowryls reso
lution was p.issed , und the hitters resolution
wus icferred to Uio eity attorney for correc
tion.
Councilman Lowry said that Kevins & Co.
were moving heaven mid earth to secure the
contract. Ho charged the chairman of the
public woilcs with "sleeping with the Ncvins
crowd , " and said that ho hud proofs in his
possession Unit Kevins & Co. had made u
piopositinn to Mr. Whculan to make him a
JMrlncr in the contract without asking him to

The report of the committee on scwcr.ipo
recommending that the city retain $1,155
fiom the contract of Thompson ite Deluney
in f.ivor of Withnell Bros , for bricks fur
nished for the construction of the North
Omaha sewer was concurred In.
The following resolution was adopted :
K\tundlng the time of Hugh Murphy for

Attention was again turned to the city hall
question by Councilman Klcrstead asking
permission to withdraw a resolution offered
by him last Tuesday night sustaining the
board of public works in annuling the con
tract of Regan Bros. This was granted ,
when Councilman Lee Jumped to his feet und
moved that the Lowry resolution , which had
been returned from the city attorney cor
rected so as to read , "the mayor concurring
in the resolution and on condition that Kegan
Hro.s. shall tile with the. board of public
works their written consent to this renewal
of contract , " bo adopted. The resolution as
corrected and amended was adopted , each of
Hie llftecn councilmcn present voting in the
al'ilrmativc.
There was no demonstration over the turn
of affairs , and the councilmcii and lobby
sought their beds.
TUB CITY HAliIj COXTUCT.
A Statement from Sir. O. K. Mnyno
in Kokand to the Matter.
To the Editor of the Hui : : There have
been so many misrepresentations both in the
newspapers and on the streets about the ac
tion of the board of public woiks ( and es
pecially my actions ) in connection with the
letting of the conti nets for tlio suporstruc
tuio and the basement of the city hall , that
I make the following statement of facts ,
which have tuided ; my oflieial actions In the
matter , and 1 believe that a majority of the
citizens of Omaha will sustain mo : When
the bids were received for the superstructure *
upon the plans and .spccillcatlons then on tile
in the olllcu of the board of
public woi ks , it appeared that Kevins & Co. ,
weio the lowest bidders and I was in favor of
awaullng them the \\ork on those conditions ,
It was represented to mo th.it Regan Bros ,
had defaulted In the work ou the basement
and wore willing to abandon the same and
waive all claims for damages against the
i-itj on the basement contract. H was also
represented that it would cost about
fcll'.dOO ' to complete the basement , be
lieving that the contractors themselves
were willing to have the contract annulled ,
and taking it for granted that the contract
with Kevins XCo. . for the superstructure
would bo conllrincd by the cquncil , I thought
it would bo best to award the contract for the
tlnishlngof the basement to Kevins & 'Co. ,
mid I acted accordingly , nppioving the chair
man's motion to annul the old contract ami
iclel as abovf , believing the rcpicscnt.Uions
were true nml thinking It would bo for the
best interests of the city. Immediately
after taking tills action I learned that
the contiactors for the basement had
not. and would not waive any
of their rights on the contract , but ou tlio
contrary would bo ruined llnanciiilly by such
action if It was sustained , and that they were
willing and anxious to proceed with their
work if the city would perform its paitof tlio
contract and pav them on their estimate ,
which it did not do , on the lust one , and in
fact has not yet got the money to pay it with.
The council the same evening refused to con-
linn the contract with Kevins & Co. for the
superstructure thereby doing away with the
main icason for retelling the contract
for the basement to that ilrui
nnd also , I would have opposed any action
being taken on the basement until tlio reso
lution of the council ordurlng tlio board of
public works to have the east wall of the
basement lowoied lo a level with the wall oi
the llOi1 Publishing Co , had boon complice
with. Hud I known anything about the saiii
resolution , \\hieh if ever received by tlio

chairman of the board of public works , has
never been brought before the board , nor
has my attention ever been called to it offi
cially. In view of nil the above facts , and
knowing that the work could not bo done
one hour sooner by rushing through n new
contract , nnd the old contractors having
pledged themselves to push the work as fast
us it c ould possibly bo done. To save the
city from disputes nnd possible delays , and
ma > bo damages , and wishing to deal Justly
by poor men , who had their all at stake , and
to right myself , I moved that tlio matter bo
reconsidered , and that Hegan Bros bo al
lowed to finish the work , according to their
contract ; provided they pushed the work for
ward to the satisfaction of the proper ofticiuls.
My action was in accord with the wishes of
a majority of tlio people's representatives
the city council ami I honestly believe will
be approved by every fair-minded man in
Omaha , who wants to sco Justice done to all.

The Forefathers' Festival.
To New England born residents of
Omaha : The anniversary of the land
ing of the Pilgrims is rapidly drawing
near , and the Now England Society of
this city has about completed arrangements
'
ments 'fo'r its proper observance in
Omaha. In a circular invitation , ihsued
bomctime ago , details wore bet forth
and a copy mailed to every New Eng
land born lady and gentleman in the
city whoso address was known to the
committee , with an urgent request that
tickets bo purchased by December 10th ,
if possible , bO lib lo give the caterer a
definite idea of the number to bo
served. Those tickets were left
at convenient places , under the
hope .that New England friends
who are hunt-til v in favor of having a
creditable cek-bratfon , would tccuni
them without being personally solicited.
This hope has not been realized , a great
many believing that there is no particu
lar hurry in the matter , and a good ,
many others , being newcomers to" .
Omaha , have not received a circular.
The Yankees arc a reading class , and it
has been decided to lay the matter
quite fully before them in the prineiual
daily papers , and by this means extend
a personal invitation to every Now
Englander whoso eye it meets. The
festival will ho held in Exposition hall ,
on Uio evening of December 22. Those
to bo admitted are New England men
and women , and. if married , their res
pective wives and husbands , whether of
Now England birth or not. It is hoped
that all buch who possibly can , will be
present to enjoy the festivities ,
and to assist in making the occasion
a memorable one in out-local experience.
Refreshments will bo provided by Mr.
Balduff , at tin agreed price per plate for
thrco hundred or more. Wo expect
fully that many , yet it is very essential
that tickets bo promptly secured , In
order to give the rommitteo more de
finite information. It would be unnec
essary to furnibh covers not used , and a
misfortune to have any unprovided for.
Tickets are $1.00 each , which amount
simply covers cost of a plate and a pro
gram. They are for sale at the drug
stores of Saxc , Kuhn and Leslie. Please
make an effort to purchabo what tickets
are wanted during the early p-irt of the
week. The programs will be the hand
somest ever issued in Omaha.
The literary and mubical numbers are
exceedingly line , and nothing seems to
btand in tlio way of a right royal time.
Bo at the hall by half past boven , if pos
sible , and by general co-oncration make
the social hour a specially pleasant
event. The four or live hundred repre
sentatives of the New England states
who have come into this htato to live
should aid in all reasonable ways in ap
propriately commemorating an historical
circumstance- that is elo'-ely idontilied
with all that wo are or our fathers have
been. Cordially yours ,
