PAVING CONTItAOXS.
The Result on Bidders Outside of tbo
Conn oil's Action.
The action of the council in rejecting the
paving contracts awarded by the board of
public works , while not unexpected , caused
quito a flurry among the contractors when
announced last night. Chairman Balcombo ,
pf the board of public works , called a meet
ing of the board for .Monday , when , with the
city engineer , the board will go through the
form of adopting specifications , and will re-
advertise for bids. "As far us the board is
concerned , " said Mr. Bnlcombo. "it simuly
means that wo will be delayed another month
at least before wo get at the actual work of
currying out the paving planned for tbo pres
ent year. "
"Tho scheme of certain paving contractors
to drive out foreign competitors has carried , "
said a gentleman considered authority on
contract work. "Tho paving ring will have
it Its own way now , for you can rest assured
that the men who came hero and bid on the
former specifications will not go to too ex
pense of coming back to run the chance of
being fooled a second time. The members
of the council who worked the amended
specifications through that body knew they
would render the contracts invalid. It was
a great schema well carried out. "

SOUTH OMAHA'S AMBITION ,
It Is For Another Line From This
City.
RAPID TRANSIT CONSIDERED.
Other Matters Discussed By the
Business Men at Their Meet-
ill K Ycstordny General
bouth Omalm Noted.
Proceedings of the Board of Trade.
A score of two persons were present Sat
urday evening when President John A. Dee
called the board of trade meeting to order.
After transacting a little routine work Vice-
President David Anderson called on Major
J. C. Wilcox who stated his object was to
procure rapid transit for the southern part
of Omaha and to that end asked the cooperation
ation of the citizens of South Omaha. While
he had no authority to speak for Dr. Mercer
or Uio motor line , yet ho had the most posi
tive assurances that as soon as freed
from legal restriants the line wouid
be constructed and operated via
Sixteenth , Vinton and Twenty fourth
streets prov'dlng no impediments were
offered by citizens along the line , and to that
end iio wanted the support and co-operation
of the citizens of South Omaha.
M. II. Redfield then gave an Interesting
history of the efforts of the citizens in the
southern part of Omaha to secure rapid
transit , the committee meetings with Dr.
Mercer , nnd the assurances of Dr. Mercer ,
J. H. Millnrd and others , who owned three-
fourths of the stock , that Dr. Mercer's
promises would be fulfilled as fast as possi
ble. The object is to have rapid transit from
Council Bluffs to South Omaha. The motor
company had pledged that as soon as re
lieved from legal restraints , special legisla
tion would bo asked nnd matters would be
pushed as fast as possible. The motor
company "by its nets would give tlio
best assurances of its good
faith. All the company wanted
was the good will , encouragement and sup
port of the people of South Omaha. The
company had all tbo funds nccdod and did
not want financial assistance. The power
house would be built south of Hurncy street.
If a committee be appointed the motor com
pany would give any assurances , and if
ttocds bo a X > ,000 bond for its speedy and
faithful performance. Messrs. Andersen ,
Lawrence. Hunt , BlnghamL Carroll , Mo-
Koudr.v , Ervin , Van Duscn , saxe and Levy
all spoke in favor of the motor * lmo , pro-
Tided it would commence work in good faith
and complete Its lino.
Ou motion. C. M. Hunt , Fred M. Smith
and John C , Carroll were appointed to art
with a committee of three from tua city
council to co-operate in the matter. In regard
to grading Twenty-fourth street , Mr. Smith
reported the result of the committee's con
ference with the county commissioners , and
Messrs. John C. Carroll , Fred M. Smith and
John A. Doe wcra appointed to attend the
next meeting of the council to presents reso
lution requesting that Twenty-fourth street
bo graded from A to Q streets. City Engineer
Lawrence stated that it would not require
the removal of more than 70,000 yards of dirt
to grade that street. David Anderson then
opened up his pent up heart , and the way ho
cored election matter * was amusing and
telling , denouncing the Third ward outrages
as the worst over known.in Nebraska , anil
offering to contribute llberajly to contest the
election , and in the most vigorous terms ex
posed the bulldozing and coercion pntctlcei
at the late election.
tJA discussion of the street railway question
brought forth the following , which was
unanimously adopted ;
"Resolved , That it U the sense of tub
ranting that wo ere opposed M the prnncmeil

mred for passage by tlio legislature , but un
fortunately , the bill was laid over. H0 was
of the opinion tuat by incorporating , the mat-
.vr could bo moro judiciously conducted be
fore the people. It would , he said , involve
an outlay of about $30,000 , and that
n business of this kind must have
i tangible basis. It was decided to consult
egal authority and ascertain whether an In
corporation could bo formed under the exist
ing laws , uud if not Just what authority
could bo vested in an organization under'tho '
present code. On motion a committee was
appointed for that purpose , consisting oC

STREI3T OAK IX THUS MOTIONS.
Hnxv They Arc to Bu Crossed Bjr tlio
Various Corn and Trains.
The inquest over the remains of the late
Mrs. Goodson , who died from injuries re <
ceivrsil by being run over by a horse car nt t
the corner of Twelfth nnd Farnam street * ,
resulted In the exoneration of the driver of
the cur of all responsibility in the unfortu-
i a to accident. The excuse of the driver was
that ho did not sea the victim , being at tha
time In watch for the motor car at the cross
ing.This
This circumstance has led people to in
quire as to what understanding the drivers ,
the grip and cylinder men of the various
street car men have as regards the crossing
of intorccctlons ,
'Wo are instructed , " said a bprse car
driver , "that the car which first roaches a
crossing has the right of way , whether It is
n ntrcet , cable or motor car. Formerly , tbo
drivers of street cars were expected to claim
this right oven in case of collision ; bat of
late , since tuo consolidation of the street car
and cable lines , the drivers and gripmcu taka
the greatest care to avoid coining together.
If u collision doca occur , and the front
end of tha stror.t car Is struck , the street car
driver Is hold responsible. If the roar nd
of tbo r-ir rs struck the gripmun is hold to ac
" 'T' '
count.
An Interview with n grlpmau resulted In a
corroborntlon of the above Htutomcat * .
A cylinder man on the motor Hue says that
the rules , under which ho is working , sp 'iiify
that the car which reaches the crossing firat
has the right of wav , If a cable und motor
cur reach a crossing nt the same time the
cable car has the right of way. On the In.
tersectlou of the cable and motor lines at
Tenth and Douglas the motor cam are. re
quired always to stop and give the cable car *
the right of way , as the cable croijlnj ; at
that plaoo U very rough.
