Cropscy for certain excessive commissions - I missions collected by them eight or ten years ago while they wcro respectively county treasurers of Lancaster county and city treasurer of Lincoln. Thu commissions seemed to have been charged under a misap prehension in regard to the law , the same commissions being charged for collecting school taxes as other taxes , while in act the statutes limit the amount of commission on the collection of fx'hool taxes to 1 per cent. Tlio attorney Ceports that ho finds no authority of law for 'Auy such dun-go and no record of any agree ment with the board for the payment of any buch commission , nnd that further more , if any such an agreement had boon made it would bo null and void. The board Instructed the secretary to notify the two gentlemen to appear at the first meeting In July und show by what authority they collected the commissions and uj > on fail ure to do i)0 to turn hack Into the treasury the amount of excessive commissions charged.

The most objectionable feature of this schedule seems to bo the abolition of the rule which has always boon in force of paying nine hours wages on Saturday for eight hours work. The contractors say that they can see no reason for paying for more work than the men do and one of the strikers very pertinently suggests that if the contractor , on the school bulldintr for instance , will turn over to the school board the amount which ho would save la this way , that the brick layers will go to work again. The Intima tion being , of course , that when the bids wore made it was on the basis of the old sys tem of wages and that the benefit of the change would all accrue to the contractors.

Monday night an ordinrnce was sprung on the council asking that the South Omaha electric light company be granted an exclu sive franchise for twenty years. It did not state the nature of the lights to bo used , or the price they would cost , only that they would charge no more than in North Omaha. In Omaha n single arc light costs $15 per month , and as the city would require about thirty of them , the bill would be a steep one. Of course a reduction might bo made where so many would bo used , but the oidlnanco did not say so , and probably the directors would not say so either. The company is n homo ono and has some good men in it , but that ia no reason why an ordinance should bo rushed through without being fully discussed. The company offers to put up a bond of $5,000 ns a guarantee of good faith , and want nn "exclusive fran chise" for twenty years. The old council refused to take a $25,000 bond from a gus company that asked for no franchise at all , but only wanted the privilege of putting down their pipes and of erecting thu neces sary plant within the limits of South Omaha. The electric light ordinance has been re ferred to thu ordinance committee and will no doubt bo modlflcd. City Council. The city council met Monday night nnd Clerk Iloctor called the roll and read the minutes. The committed on streets and al leys reported favorably on the paving of N sticct , and the matter was referred to the city attorney with instructions to draft the necessary ordinance. The llnancc committee reported favorably on a number of bills , and recommended that they should ho placed on file. They were placed. Then an ordinance was read to provide the money necessary to defray thu expenses of the city for the com ing year. It fulled for $7-,000 , as already re ported In the HEI : . Councilman Smith sug gested that outside figures bo named in the ordinance , as , while it was possible that their estimate might ho cut down , it would bo impossible to incro.iso them after the or dinance was once passed. Accordingly the Item for lire plugs was advanced from $1,000 to 82,000. and the ordinance was put on its third and iinal reading. It passed , Then cnmu nn ordinance asking that a twenty years' exclusive franchise be granted to an electric light company to permit them to light the city. Councilmcu O'Kouike and Hurko put In n strong protest , and they put It In u strong way. Councilman McMillan spolo on the other side , and said it was a homo company and ought to bo encouraged , but ho said ho was not in favor of giving an exclusive franchise. Councilman Fcuno said that it any one had a right it should be the homo company , and wanted to know what they had against thorn , Councilman liayllss spoke in the bamo strain , and then the ordinance was referred to the ordinance committee , Another ordinance , No IK ) , logulating auctioneers , pcdlers and others in that line , was mid for the lirst time , and led to a lively debate , of whluh mention I * inadu else where. It was thiHlly laid where it should be on the table. Councilman Fcuno asked for further time on the ipucstion of the city being allowed the use of the stock yards sewer , ns Mr Hoyd was unable to giyo an answer until the stock yards committee had met. McMillan , Smith , Uayllss and Kaffoi ty said that Mr. Her was willing to call u special meeting at any time to meet the council. The probabilities are they will bo called and will meet , A petition fulling attention to the nuisance existing at the cornerof L and Twenty-fourth streets , caused by the dumping of garbage , led to the marshal being ordered to atop It. Anulhcr , asking for a bridge across Albright avenue , was referred to the com mit tea on streets and allays. The reports of the police Judge and city treasurer were then Landed in nnd referred to thu finance com mittee , and the meeting adjourned.
