B.irToiV WHERE IT NEEDS MENDING , Mayor Broatoh mid Chairman Dttl- combo on the City Charter. LET OUR COMMISSION ALONE. Its I'oworw Should Bo Extcmlcil llntlier Than Curtailed Hoard oC Public- Works ntul Other Municipal Slattern. The Otnnha Charter. Mayor Uroatch wants n better city charter. Ho thinks the- present ono should bo amended or a now ono created. His honor was Interviewed last night'by a UEK representative upon tho-subjcct. "I have no objection , " said the mayor , "to being put on record as saying that I am in favor of amending our present city charter , It lids got to bo altered , and thoifgh I nnuiot exactly prepared to tnlk to you to-night , still you can say that much. " Asked his opinion upon the question of reverting to the old style of things In polica matters , Mr. Uroatch smiled and said : "Evcryoiirj knows hotv I feel upon that sub ject. Any change I shall support.twlll not not bo to abrogate the functions of the polica commission , but rather to extend them ; to make them moro nuthoratntlvo tliati they appear to be at the present time. " "How about the board of public1 works ? " "Woll , sir , you can quote mo as saying that I would hgvo that body less of a figurehead , and more of a reality that it is nt present. To correctly lulflll the purposes for which they were called Into existence they should bo free- from the obstructive tactics sometimes brought to play against them. I hope to sco the board iu this position that they shall have thu llnal disposition of contracts scut before them , with no mipcal from their decision. " The mayor further said that he was simply waiting to see if any new charter was being prepared bv others , if not , ho himself would bava one drafted. When spoken to respecting the privileges accorded to cable , motor uud horse car com panies , who jumped in whenever it suited them und caused much mconvonloncc to public travel by tlio manner irt which they loft the public thoroughfare , the mayor said that our present charter was sufllciently comprehen sive to cover that trouble if advantage were taken of the provlsitms therein' . "Yes , there are two or throe things in our city charter that 1 think it would be as well to amend , " said Chairman llitlcombo , of the board of public works , last night , "but I guess our delegation will attend to them. Ono of them upon which I have spent much thought Is our present system of paving. It Is wrong , but the council' Is not to hlamo BO much as the property owners. They seem to have become possessed of n mania for paving the streets , and although the near approach of winter will soon put a stop to all works of the kind , the office is daily crowded by those wishing the streets paved nt once. I tell them its too Into , but Its no use , and then they go and badger the councilmcn until they order the paving done. Now , I think the legislature should restrain the board of public works' from authorizing the construction of paving until ono year after the grading is done , and 'the sewers , gas nnd water mains laid , with the laterals extended to the curb. This would give tlio road bed a chance to settle and prevent - vent paying nn oxhorbttant price for grading. At present there nro no funds for grading purposes , and the mayor vetoes all contracts for grading. The property owners , however , rush through their paving schemes , and the contracts call for an allowance for 'extra grading. ' The paving contractors have to engage a plant for thut purpose , and the cost counts up , as in the case of Vinton street , where f'J.200 was expended for grading four blocks at liOo per yard. Of course the property owners pay for it , but it would not have cost much more than one- half that amount If proceeded with in the ordinary way. Then , agalnrwhen , the pav ing is dona before the tilled eartn in sewer and pipe trenches has settled , it leaves n hollow beneath the pavtsffleat and it soon'bo- ' comus broken uud useless. The exi > ensp of the repairing becomes enormous , and asdt is paid from the general fund it has to bo born a by the citizens nt largo , who thus suffer from the undue hnsto of the others. Twentieth street from Pierce to Centre is an example. The paving ordinance was rushed tbrjuirh , and while the material waff being placed on the ground the water works company was laying one large main ami the gas com pany two others. The contractor hud.to go ahead all the same , and the chances are that the. paving on top of the now made earth , will have to bo repaired at the expense of the city before long. For awhile Omaha grow so quickly that it was necessary to rush , the pavement In the business part of the city to keep our good name , but with the amount , wo have now constructed it is no longer necessary. I am in favor of extending a' few of our leiidlnij- thoroughfares as far as de- slrablo , but think n check should be put to- our indiscriminate paving , and I intend to recommend the council to cut- down the appropriation for the intersection fund , from $100,00(1 ( to S5lOOQ ) , which will check it about half. The only proper way , however , is for the legislature to restrain the council or board of works from ordering' paving to bo clone until the in-ailing is com pleted , all necessary pipes am ) sewers laid , and the earth allowed to settle for at Icust one year. "Another thing that should be remedied Is the calling for separate contracts for the curbing ac.d paving. . This necessitates the issuing of separate bonds , and causes a great deal of unnecessary trouble and ex pense. Besides thut , It often leads to vexatious delays where the pav ing contractor has to wait for the curbing contractor , as happened last year , ana it gives dilatory contractors a chance to luy the blame on each other when they don't feel Inclined to push on their work , and thus escape tuo penalties they In cur. The man who gets the ono contract should got both , und Cuuld bid accordingly. To do this the charter should be amqmlcd to enable the city council to Is-juo bonds for the paving and curbing combined and to < let , the contracts in the same way , and thia would not only save endless troublu and nn- noyanco , but dollars and cents. "One more thing is ncrdcd.iatid that Is power for the council to borrow from the fund to pay the sidurics of another , This la meant for the bcnellt of the Inspector nnd the city ns well. We cannot get good men very readily on the present terms. In the first place 'they have to wait until thu contract Is completed and levy made , which Is generally done two or thrco months afterwords. They cunnotcven get u warrant or the scratrn of n pen to show that the city owns tlion : A doling nnd yet they are expected to keep themselves und families alive for three , four , live or.evun t > Ix months without u cent. Thisis siiiiplylm- pojslblo and I bava already lost several of my best men , while others have notified mo that they won't re-engage next year. It leaves thorn open to temptations' OB well , bocnnsa when llmmclully embarrassed , It is only na tural for thorn to look to the contractors they mcot daily for n Jlttlo tcm'prrary ns is - anfo. Once thny receive it their usefulness Is at an end , tor they would be more than human to repay a Ulndness of that kiud by un ovcr-rcnlous inspection. Thp contractors know ft , and doubtless soi-o of them would be wlllnig to profit by It. Now , to put an end to nil thin , the ins | > ectors should bo paid monthly tliosunift a other employes of the city , and when thur * uru nn. funds for the. purpose , tha council should bn pupoWetcct to borrow from the general fund , salary fund or other fund , a sufficient amount to pay them , and the sum thus takuu from thnso funds could Ira repaid as soon as the levy u made.

"A ftroat lillo and cry has boon raised agaliiBl ordinary wells of Into years , " said nn oxnorl on dt'tnlfinj , ' water to n Now York Mail anil Uxpross roporlor recently , "nnd there hns been a decided increase In the popularity of artesian nnd driven wells. Hocnu.so the water obtained from the shallow , nltl-fnsh- ionod well is often impure , people seem to have made up tholr minds that walor drawn up from deep rtown to the earth will bo free from impurities. But any such Idett Is the merest mm- Hoii d.

Senator Palmer in writing a novel , says the Now York Tribuneand his de sire to complete and put it on the mar ket within the comintr year is ono of the chief reasons that led him to announce to his constituents recently that ho would not be a candidate for ro-oloi1- tion. Mr. Palmer has always been fond of literary pursuits nnd has repeatedly said to his intimate friends that the ideal life is thnt of the newspaper correspondent. Both in Detroit and Washington the senator hus often ainu&cd himself by furnishing sugges tions for newspaper articles , and IIIIH frequently tried his hnnd nt writing himself , and with good success. IJis vast business interests prevent him from following his inclinations in the matter of newspaper work , however , and bo ho intcndb to .see wiiat ho can do in the way of writing a book. He be gan his labor of love last spring , and during the dull days of the long session of congrcssj when all the rooms in his big house except his bed room nnd ollice were dismantled and cloie'd , ho put in many hours of good , solid work with the pen. Ho frequently burned the midnight oil over his task and , dis carding the assistance of hia secretary and friends , he has worked away with great industry. Thp squalor has not yet chosen a title for his book , nor has he fully arranged the details of his plot. In fact this part of the task is giving him considerable annoyance , an the ambitious author has ns yet been lolally unable to dispose of his characters prb | > crly to make the dif ferent parts of the story , which ho lint perfectly outlined , ( It 'together.

Dr. Duryeu has been a very busy mail , tils pastoral euros cannot have been light , and his work on the J3oston school board haa Jioon enormous especially during the reronl controversy raised by the catholic ob jection to the use of tiwinton'H history in the schools. He-sides Dr. Duryoa hns rendered valuable service by way of leclures in the Now England conservatory vatory of music , Wellesley college nnd other Inslllulions. He says Ihat ho hus had live very good calls during the past year , Including one to the presidency of a college and another to the head of the theological department of Yankton college , Dakota , where Iho salary offered is $ U,000 moro than he receive1) ) at Boston. Ho accents the eall to Omaha , however , nt a reduction from his present salary , because - cause he sees there a great opportunity for good service. Ho says : "I do not think it right lhal so many ministers gather in the coast eilios while the west is calling for men. " While ho was in the west last summer he was im pressed with the need of good workers there. When ho was in Ynukton at a meeting of home mlsbionaries , whose salaries averaged 'S700 a year , a call was made for money lo build an addilion to Yankton college. "When , " said he , "those missionaries began subscribing out of their slender moans toward It , I was thrilled , and resolved lo do what 1 could lo help Iho growing western cit ies. " Boston and New Kngluud will mis.s Dr. Din-yea , but must admire his self- sacrificing spirit. He can do splendid work In the west , and if his example should be followed bv the scores of min isters who are ready to candidate for prominent , vacant pulpits in New Eng land , a long slep would be tiilcon toward supplying the eager demand of the west for Christian workers.
