8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : 'FRIDAY , FEBRUARY 20 , 1892 , ONLY ASKS TWO YEARS MOKE Supervising Architect Edbrooko Promises Omaha a Now Federal Building for 1894. FAVORS THE ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION llo Think' thn Whnlo llilllillnc Should llo Completed nt Once Iii'tcnil of In THO heclloiiH-WIII Pu li tlio Work Vigorously. Long ngo the poet said ttnt "nil things como round to him who will but wnlt. " The people of Omaha have apparently placed implicit conlldonoo in the statement of the poet so far as the securing of a now postofllco building has been concerned , but they will bo ploaiod to hoar n word of on- couragoraont from Supervising Architect Edbrookc , who came on from Washington yesterday afternoon to see how the work here was progressing nnd to oxnmlno the basement foundation. Mr. Edbrooko , accotripanlod by ono of his assistants , Mr. Frank Uoygla , looked at the excavated area on block SO nud nftor n little examination ho oamo to the con clusion that n concrete substratum under the foundation stones woula bo sufllclent without piling. The nrea to bo occupied by the lower basement will bo excavated to n depth of about six fcot below where it now is , putting it down about twenty foot below the curbstone. The bottom of this excava tion will then bo filled several fcot with ce ment knd broken stone , upon which the foundation ttonos will bo luld. Work will Degin nt once upon the prepara tion of the foundation. Mr. C. J. King of Omaha has the contract for the stone work and ho will do the preliminary work also. The stone foundation Is to \ > o completed by the first of August next. Will Keep the Work Moving. "How soon nftcr the stone work is com pleted do you oxpoot to begin work upon the superstructure ! " was asked of Air. Ed brooko. "I shall advortlso for the iron work aud the work upon the superstructure onrly enough to have a contract nU completed by the tlmo the founda tlon is ready , so that the work can bo kept moving right along. " "You are not Intending to keep this buildIng - Ing dragging along for live or six years then , after the usual fashion ot constructing fed eral buildlngsl" "Not H I live. " said Mr. Edbrooko ( Irmly. "I wns formerly a resident of Chicago. I may say that I am a CUlcago architect , and I to put up government buildings In n Eroposo line way. There li no sense in spending four or live years in putting up n bullulng llko this. If I llvo I expect to hnvo that building completed and see your post master and ether federal onlccrs doing busi ness In it two years from now. Ono thing that has hold so many public milldings back has been the delay In securing the ap propriations. " "Do you think the bill for the additional (800,000 for this building will bo passed at this session 1" "I am of the opinion that the bill for the additional appropriation will bo passed. Tbo commlttoo talked to mo as though the bill was looked upon with favor. " "What is your own opinion as to tbo ad visability of having the additional appro priation i" Ought to Itnlld All at Onco. " 1 think It would bo an economical measure in the ond. While the building will bo complete as wo wo have It now planned , and the additional amount would simply enable us to build the west half of the structure that will have to bo put on some tlmo. yet I thin I : it would bo hotter to put the building up ull at the same tlmo. The present appropriation will erect a building that will accommodate the postonico and the other federal deport ments for the present and for some time to como , but I bollovo it would bo bolter to finish the building now and by the tlmo the city outgrows the capacity of the completed structure Omaha will bo largo enough to have several branch ofllcos. " \Vo nro rapidly coming to the days ol branch postonlcos and pneumatic tube con nections for all the largo cities. That plan has been found very successful and practica ble in Europe and wo shall adopt It very soon In Chicago and ether largo cities. I hope lo sea the additional appropriation for your building hero allowed so that wo can com plete the building in full slzo by the sprint of 1804. " Mr. Edbroolto loft last night for Kansas City.

The members of the Board of Public Works hold a session yesterday for the purpose of deciding upon tbo paving specifications for the ensuing yoar. Although tboy did not complete their labors , they decided that whenever contractors bid for paving contract each bid must bo accompanied by a ten years' guaranty. Heretofore the guaranty has extended ever a period of five years , and aflor that time the repairs bavo been made by the city and paid for out of the ropalrluir fund. A fifteen per cent reserve will bo hold for five years , tbo same as now. At the expiration of that the reserve will bo paid lo tlio con tractor and ho will bo required to give a bond that ho will keep the pavement In repair during the second five yoars. Chairman Hlrkhausor. In discussing the subject , stated that ho did not think the now plan would materially Increase the cost of the pavement , as only material that would last more than ton years would bo Included in the now specifications. Ho also thought that by requiring u toa-yoar guarantee the city would get the best of material , as con tractors could not afford to use tbo poorer qualities of paving material If they under- Blood that ihoy had lo keep tbo pavement in repair for ten yoars.

Samuel Lewis , living near Ashland , is llablo to como into posses sion of an immense fortune. Several years ago Mr. Lewis , while living in Pennsylvania , In company with his brother , who still resides In that state , Invented and patented a ma- chlno for makiug stool rails by which the gentlemen claim two mon can turn out moro rails lu a day than twonly-sox'en could by the old process and at a prrcatly reduced price. As soon as the machine was placed on the market numerous steel manufacturers in Pennsylvania and other states at once began making machines of their own with improve ments , as they claimed. Some of these com panies were the oldest and vcalthlc.it in tbo United States. Nevertheless , about tbreo years ace the two brothers brought suit In tbo courts of Pennsylvania against numerous stool manufacturers in that state for the sum of $0,000,000 for Infringement of thelr.patont. Mr. Lewis engaged some of tbo best patent lawyers In the east , und for two years the matter was" fought through the courts of the stato. Last fall the matter was carried to tbo supramo court and the hearing was completed last December , when the court ordered the printing of the testi mony. This was finished a short tirno ago and it is now only a question of a few aays before the decision is rendered. Mr. Lewis expects it any day now and is confident of winning , hnving secured favorable decisions in all the courts of Pennsylvania.

IOW A SMART CONDUCTOR FELL DOWN llo Thought to ( let n , Iolio on Sonic School- iim'nnm 1'roplo nro Tired of the Miul-Mnglo City Miniatures. The Board of Trndo held n special meeting last night to consider the project of a city uospltnl. The Drs. Baus'orinan ot Lcavon- worth , Kan. , who are the projectors of the ontorprlso , wcro present. The plan ns out lined by them wns that ns many ns possible of the 4,000 laboring men In the city should bo induced to subscribe 25 cents a month for the support of the hospital. In return they would at all times bo entitled to receive free treatment nud medicine , either nt the hos pital or nt tholr homes. Dr. Bausormnn ( luted that in Kansas City the packers made the subscription obligatory with their etn- plcyes and thought the same plan might bo pursued In South Omaha. The matter was discussed at some length and ull present woto of the opinion that the hospital was very badly needed , .tust how the board sbould go to work to aid Urs. Buuscrman in their undertaking involved n difference of opinion. Finally Captain Cock- roll nnd David Anderson were appointed as a committee to secure the services of some person who would see the business mon of the city and nsccrtaln how much they would subscribe towards the support of n hospital. The board will hold another 'meeting next Tuesday night to take notion on the matter and nn effort will bo mndo to have the packers represented. So Gliul lie Told Them. That tbo average female school teacher is not to bo imposed on with Impunity wns Illustrated by the manner In which n party of them * turned tbo tables on n facetious motor conductor on the South Omaha line yesterday. A party of about a dozen young lady teachers returning from their schools were among the passengers in the trailer. When tbo viaduct was reached the conduc tor opened the door nnd said : "Tho authori ties bavo pronounced this viaduct un safe for loaded motors nnd school- ma'ms. Passengers will please walk. " Indignation gleamed for n moment in a dozen pairs of bright eyes but to formulate a plan for revenge was only the work of an in stunt. Every ono of thorn got out nnd walked. The conductor grlnnod nnd thought ho had the laugh on the school teachers for onco. But his complacency was short lived. By the tlmo the car had reached the North end of the viaduct the teachers wore scarce ly half way across. Ho rung the bell im patiently but his fair passengers were laughing nnd talking unconcernedly and moved ns leisurely ns though they did not know that a nonplussed conductor wns waiting impatiently nnd raging under the only half-suppressed merriment of the other passengers. When they finally reached the car it had boett waiting ton minutes. "So glad you told us the viaduct was un safe for schoolma'ms , " murmured ono of them with n smile , "it would have boon perfectly dreadful It wo had all been killed. " And the passengers roared , whllo the con ductor was so nervous that ho rang up two faros instead of giving the sicnnl to start. Tiring of Mud. The people who have boon laboriously mak ing tholr way through the mass ot sticky mud that remains undisturbed In its possess ion of tbo right of way on South Omaha streets , have just begun to mnko up their minds that the city needs to hnvo its streets cleaned once in a while. Tbo paved streets have never been kept clean because there has boon no provision made for It by the city government. The chief of police is supposed to bo responsible for keeping tbo streets In good condition , but unfortunately the present ordin auccsdo not specify any way in which it ib to be done unless ho feels llko taking a broom and boo and doing it himself. The law provides that the mayor shall have power to put all prisoners confined for violation of the city ordinances at work on the streets , but there are not enough prisoners of thnt character now-a-days to keep tbo sidewalks in front of the jail clean , The unusually muddy condition of the streets during the past fnw days has aroused some intotost In the matter , and it is proba ble that the city council will bo requested to take some action. The only strcot cleaning that has been done beretoforo has boon an occasional slushing of the gutters when the tire department wanted a little excrciso , but they bavo not craved any exorcise for a long tlmo. The sidewalks are In nearly ns impassable condition as the streets , and there are not half a dozen firms on N street who pretend to kcop their sidewalks clean. The police could turn their attention to enforcing the ordinance relating to sidewalks with some benefit to pedestrians. Hoclul AOiilrs.

NEW POLICE BOARD. .Shields Explains Some 1'olnts Itc- tlio Governor's Appointments. In speaking of the probable course to bo pursued by the police board recently ap pointed by Governor Boyd , ' ox-County Judge Shields said yesterday : "Wo shall file our bonds nnd present them to the city council for npprovnl at the next mooting. If wo moot with any interference In the discharge of our ofilcmlduty of course wo shall bavo to decide upon the necessary stops to bo taken. " "What Is your opinion as to the legality of the govornor's action in removing the old board and appointing a new board of commissioners ! " "Thoro can bo no question as to the legal ity of the govornor's ' action. The power to remove members of tbo Fire nnd Police com mission has been placed in tlio govornor's hands. There Is no provision mndo for an np- peal from his decision In these matters. Ho is the judge of the cause In all such cases and his action is final. These mon know very well that they wore not removed on account of malfeasance in ofilco. Tbovo is no use for them to assume the pica of in jured Innocence. They know that they were removed bccauso they bad boon appointed by a man who had usurped the authority that rightfully belonged to Gov ernor Boyd , nnd now that Governor Boyd has been restored to tbo office to which ho was oloclod ho simply removed - moved or abolished what the usurper had done and appointed commissioners who will bo in harmony with his administration. "It Is well known that Mr. Gilbert worked hard against Mr. Boyd aud has said all sorts of hard things aoout'bim and yet ho insists that ho ought to bo permitted to bold an ofilco that Governor Bovd nnd uo ono else hnd tbo lawful right to fill by ap pointment. Do these mon Imagine that Gov ernor Boyd is going to permit an usurper to make his appointments for him i If that is to bo tbo custom , any pretender or partisan might gala possession ot the gov ernor's chair for a few hours and 1111 ull the appointive offices in the state and then surrender the assumed authority again. "They talk noout the length of the term for which they wore ) appointed. That cuts no figure. It is a fact in at tho.postmastors all over the country are appointed for four years , but. whenever there is n change of administration wo see thorn removed bv the score , and removed for cause. Wo all know the cause , in most cases. They are not satisfactory to the administration. Thnt is the case in this instance and tbero is no use of those fellows making any fuss aboutit. There is another thing that I will mention that has not been pecerallv known , I think. Tbo appointment of the gentlemen composing tbo old board of flro and police commissioners was never confirmed by the sonntej Our siato constitution provides that all offices filled bv appointment by the gov ernor shall bo confirmed by the senate. There has boon a session of the sonata since the appointment of the gentlemen wno have been removed by Governor Boyd , but their appointments have not been approved. When the senate moots next winter the ap pointments just made by Governor Boyd will be submitted for approval. In case they are not approved then the governor will bo obliged to make other appointments. " I'lirtlKiuishlp Is Not Cause. Senator Swltzlor was asked for bis opinion of the Fire and Police commission muddle and said : "As I understand it , tbo governor has no right to remove a member of the Fire aud Police commission without cause und that cause must bo a legitimate ono. It must ap pear or bo shown , I think , that the member removed has neglected his duty , bocn guilty of misconduct , malfeasance in olllco or has in some way become incompetent. I believe that the courts will hold that the governor must have some other reason than merely a partisan or personal dislike for the men 're moved. As I understand the law it is very plain and specific upon that question. " Judge Dundy said : ' 'The man who statcb that there is no appeal from tbo action of tbo governor in removing the lire nnd police commissioners if I bavo a corroclknowlodgo of the reading of the law will find that ho Is grossly mistaken. If the law says that tbo governor can only remove a commis sioner for cause , the governor can bo com pelled to show whut that cause was. Talk about there being no appeal in such a case if there could bo no appeal then there would bo no use to say anything about the cause. If the law bus been correctly re ported to mo 1 believe these mon could insti tute quo warranto proceedings mid the cnv- ernor would bo obliged to show cause for his action. That is as plain as the nose on a man's face. " Ono Objection Settled. A prominent attorney has pointed out the following opinion of tbo Nebraska suprumo court , which appears to do away with ono point raised ; In tbo case of tbo state against Seavoy , i'J ! Nebraska , -154 , the court said : "It is con tended by couunol for tbo relater that the appointment of tbo members of tbo Board of Fire and Police commissioners by the gov ernor Is void for tbo reason that such appointment was not made by nnd with tbo advice and consent of the senators , und to this point section 10 ut article 6 of the con stitution is cited ; ( aid section is as follows : ' "Sco. 10. The governor shall nominate and by and with the tdvlce and consent of the soaato uppolat all officers whoso offices nro established by tola constitution or which may DO created by law , and whoso appoint ment or election is not otherwise bv law or heroin provided for.uwd no such officer shall bo appointed or elected by the legislature , " ' The court adds ; "tttio language of the act Is 'the governor shall appoint , ' etc. , without tbo qualification that such appoint ment shall bo dependent upon the advice and consent of the senate. These officers are created by law , but tholr appointment Is by law otherwise pnnridod for than in the mode pointed out In I tbo section of the con- sUtutlou quoted. Throughout Its hfstorv not n session at the legislature bus passed without tbo passage of laws In terms similar to the ono now under consideration , and their execution O.T the governor without submitting his appointments to the senate. " The appointments of district judges are never Huomittod to the senate ; and so with notaries public nnd many other officers.

This Is nothing inoro nor loss than tbn starting of a bonovolcnt fund which shall bo expended ex clusively In reclaiming drunkards by pnylrjp for tholr troatracnt at any ono of Ibo loading Institutions In the state that hnvo been so successful in effecting an absolute euro for dipsomania. Mr. Free at first odor oil to bo ono of fifty or tnoro persons to contribute { 100 cacti to such a fund , but now says ho will bo ono of live qr ton to inako such a contribution , or if moro doslrablo or effectual in gottlng the fund startoa ho will k'lvo that amount If others will respond with smaller amounts , but bo thinks that there ought to bo fifty men in Omaha jvho would bo willing to thus Kivo of tholr substance for the bonoflt of their unfortunate fcllous. lu speaking of the project yesterday afternoon - noon , Mr. Free said : "Thero nro many young and middle aged iiion in this city who arc slaves to the liquor habit , who , if cured of tholr appetites , have sufllclont ability to make a very crcdltublo showing for them selves. Jvluny of thorn bavo not the means to talio the treatment , but would gladly avail themselves of un opportunity to do so. I bo- llovo that charity begins at homo , and for that reason I think that Christian people who arc sending money to foreign missions might contribute' to this fund , which seems to mo Ilka a very practical form of Chris tianity. I would llko to sco the ministers of the city take up the mutter and lend it their assistance. My idea is that the fund thus raised should uo placed in trust as the con tributors may olcct. The beneficiaries may then moke application to tbo trustees or to any prominent boara of charities designated by a majority of tbo contributors , and thoio applications would bo placed on lllo and when approved , the applicant would bo sent to the institution selected. "I am satisfied that m.my of the patients that would bo thus treated would pay back ttia money expended ( or thorn as soon as they wcro iibfo to earn it. I don't care to bo known in this matter , but 1 do want to sea the fund established , as 1 have given it con siderable thought and have qulto sot my heart on It. I am willing to place my ? 100 at any tlmo In the hands of any responsible person. I am confident that reduced rates could bo secured for treating these patients , and a fund of a few thousand dollars would donnimmonso amount of good. There are few families that have not felt the curio of drunkenness in some degree , and it seems tome mo that every charitably disposed man ought to DO willing lo ao something for the relief and assistance of others loss fortunate than himself.11 It was afterwards ascertained that tbo local institutions would offer a reduced rote for these cases , ono of them offering to give a reduction of 00 per cent.
