Charge That Omaha Paid Dearly for City

\Vlun the gi-And Jury adjourned for a vaca
tion It VIM understood llmt the alleged irrog-
ulnrltlos In the award of the contract for
vault HxturM In the now city hall would betaken
taken up for Investigation. Prospects now
are that nothing will DO done in the cnso , as
the man making the charges Is too busy to
coma to Omaha to hold a soauro with th
erand Jury ,
II. J. Hoffman of Chicago , secretary of the
Hoffman-JCoofo Fllo company , made the
charge to the city council that the Fonton
Metallic Manufacturing company and the
Ofllco Specialty Manufacturing company
were In collusion , and that Omaha paid very
dearly for her $7,000 contract on city hall
vault fixtures. wraw
"How do 1 know there was a pool ! " said
candid Mr. Hoffman , when nskea to give the
Chicago renrcsentttlvo of TUB Bci : his
authority on this point. "Why , I was In a
pool with 'em myself under a f 1,500 forfeit at
Grand ilnplils. "
I- "So far as my motives in writing to the
Omaha city council are concerned , " contin
ued he , "I do not pretend that they wore
philanthropic. 1 am n business man and I
acted from purely business motives. I un
derstood that the contract had not been iln-
nlly lot to the Fonton company , as I hnd at
flrst supposed , and llmt it wo could show how
the city bad been swindled wo might got some
1 show. 1 flnd that I was mistaken , however ,
and now have tin special Intcroit In the mat-
tor. I have been nsKoa to submit the evi
dence of ray charges to the grand Jury , hut I
am too busv to take a trip to Omaha ,
und as there is nothing to compensate
mo for the tlmo and expense , I hardly
too how I could bo expected to do so. If the
contract were still open it would become a
purely business transaction , und of course
wo should present our case ns > fully as possl-
bio. As It Is , 1 urn willing to assist an Inves
tigation all I can , and will glvo the grand
] ury and the general public what wo have
through the columns of Tun Dm : .
Could Nut Get Information.
"In tbo Ilrst place there Is , it scorns to mo ,
strong ovldonco to any practical man that
things were not light in the wny in which wo
wore treated. I loarncd through ono of our
tounmh that bids wcro to bo culled for at
Omaha , and wrote nt once to thu mayor ask
ing for Information on the subject , and In
closing circulars to show the reliability of
our firm. After waiting a reasonable
length of tlmo and receiving no reply 1 wrote
to the city cleric with the same result. I sent
n half dozen loiters to various city otllclals
but failed to got a reply from any of thorn.
Finally wo learned , entirely by accident ,
When the award was to bo mado. This In
formation came through an Omaha furniture
dealer.
"Wo at once sent our agent to Omaha. Ho
arrived the day before tbo letting of the con
tract and learned that no bids would bo con-
eldorod unless accompanied by a certified
check for iSOO. Ho wired us and wo mailed
Bucti a check nt onco. The Merchants Ex
change bank of Milwaukee , on which It was
drawn , nt our request , telegraphed the
chairman of tbo commlltco making the
au'ard that such a chock had been drawn.
Tuls , it acorns to mo , should have been suf
ficient , If the matter had been entirely fair
and regular , to have entitled us to a hearing.
But wo were shut out on the technicality
thnt our clock was not in hand at the time
Epcclllod.
I'lilil More Tlmn Schedule 1'rlcc.
"Now as to tbo.pt ice paid by Omaha , the
fact tbat she paid 10 par cent moro than the
schedule price and twlco as much as has been
charged elsewhere by the Fcnton company
for the same work , both before and since
tbo letting or the Omaha contract , is easily
proven and is a very simple problem in
arithmetic which any Omaha citizen can
figure out for himself.
"An examination of the bids made by the
same company for vaults in the court houses
of Whltoly county , Indiana , Clark count- ,
Wisconsin , Livingston county , Michigan ,
and Kane county , Illinois , will show that
they furnished the same goods at from "jO to
00 pnrccntlcssthanOmahaagrccdtopay , and
this , too , in spite of the fact that the Omaha
contract is much larger than any of those
named. A still greater difference will bo
found between the Omaha Jlgurcs and tbosu
homed' in vault contracts for countv build
ings at Appleton , Wis. , and Hampton ,
la. , made since tba letting of the con
tract at Omaha. So that the Font on
company can hardly claim , as it did at
Grand Hapids , where ono of its contracts
was rescinded on a similar showing , that the
goods provided for are of a later and better
pattern and thoioforo worth'more. "

pity Engineer Ko.iowator Is of the opinion
that the ordinance granting tbo now Thom
son-Houston Electric- Light company to lay
pipes and construct conduits in streets and
alloys should bo the subject of the most care
ful consideration. It is , ho says , a most 1m-
most Important privilege and tbero are n
grout many provisos and reservations which
should bo incorporated. The ordinance , In
order to ho considered Intelligently , should
bo in the first place referred to the oni'lncor-
lug department. Ho would also bo very
careful that the bill should bo drawn bv the
city and in the Interests of the city and not
by the company.
Again , bo Is not docldod as to the advisa
bility of the city giving to any corporation
the privilege proposed. Every ono knows
that tbo tendency all over the country Is
toward , municipal ownership of gas , electric
lighting , water works and all similar public
Improvements. With this in view the good
policy of alienating the privilege- con
structing conduits U open to question. Mr.
Hosewater. however , has not seen the ordi
nance arid is not in a position to speak on its
merits or demerit ? .

Speaking about the resolution passed
by the executive committee of the Mnnnfac-
tuters nnd Consumers association relative
to tho.Iron work on the new postoflloo buildIng -
Ing , Mr. 'BelhdortT , the superintendent , said :
"Tho Manufacturers and Consumers asso
ciation labored under u mistake in supposing
that the columns known as the Ptuunlx col
umns were a patented arrangement. That
particular kind of n column was iirst intro
duced by the Pha-nix mill of Philadelphia.
but It can bo made now by any mill having
the capacity to make such u column without
paving any royalty to the Pbuunlx mills. I
agree with ho passers , of the resolution
introduced in the Manufacturers association
In ono particular. That is with reference to
letting bids for cnstirou Instead of steel
columns. 1 believe that cast iron column : , aru
just as good \vhcrc thoy'aro raado of hufllcicnt
weight. ThojUeol columns are used nearly
altogether in Chicago because thev get moro
strength for the weight. In a light , high
building the steel column presents
that advantage , hut In. this building
tbo question of weight will not cut so much
of anguro. If castlron columns wcro used
the Omaha'foundrlcs ' could compote , but it
will bo impossible for the Omaha foundries
to compete In the bidding for the furnishing
of steei columns. " ,
Referring to tbo preliminary work on the
foundation Mr UcImlorlY said that Mr. King
would begin xvork within a waulc if the

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Immense Improvements to Bo Mndo in ilio
Various Packing Plants.
SCOPE OF THE CONTEMPLATED CHANGES
It Will I'Incc Oinntin Near the Top As n
fucking Cuutcr Drtnlln of the
1'liiMH NCHU N'otrv mid
I'ontoimlfl.
During thopa < t month each ot the four
great packing houses located hero have boon
hard nt work upon the plans for the exten
sive Improvements of the coming season ,
That they have unbounded conlldcnco in the
future of South Omaha Is evinced by the
magnitude of the Improvements contcm
plated. The additional investment will
reach nearly 81,000rOJ and the capacity of
the plants will bo nearly doubled. The ex
tensions will necessitate the employment of
about 2,000 additional men exclusive ot the
largo number who will bo employed in the
construction ot the now buildings and the
putting In of a vast amount of additional ma
chinery. The now buildings will nil bo built
of the host material nnd supplied with the
most , improved equipments.
To dccldo upon the details of so extensive
an undertaking has required considerable
tlmo and an immense amount of work. Tlio
approval of the plans for the contemplated
Improvements of the Gcorgo II..Hammond
company has boon delayed from tbo fact that
the highest ofllclnls of the company , are In
Europe and communication was necessarily
slow.
u
A favorable decision has at Uist-bcoli
roachcd , however , nnd Tun BEE is liblo to
glvo a complete and detailed review of the
improvements decided upon by all the pack"-
ors except the Omaha Packing compan > ,
vvhoto plans are still In embryo. /
It Is the intention of tlio Hammond com- j
pony to entirely stipe-cede the wooden build
ing which constituted the original plant by
a new double brick structure , The exact
ground area of the new uuildlng hnb'not '
been exactly determined , but it wilt bo a
much larger nnd more substantial"strtictunj
than the present ono. It will bo four stories
high , and the cattle and hog killing depart
ments will bo included under ouo.-a'ool , tbut
constructed snparatcly. The buof departj j
mcntwill bo equipped with all modern ap
pliances. The Hilling will be , done on the
fourth floor. Tbo estimated coit of the
building and machinery U $200,000 nud when
completed the capacity of the plant\vlll bo
1,030 eiUtlo , ! IHJ ( ) hogs and 1,000 sheep n day.
An additional force of 400 men will bo re
quired. The pllodtivors will begin work
ou the foundations in u few days and the
beef house will bo finished and in operation
by August 1. "
The Improvements nt the "Cudahv Packing
company's plant will cost about S'30,000 nnd
comprise six largo new bull'ilinITSwhich will
cover an area of three and * ono-hnlf
actos. The largest building will bo
the beef house , ' .Hlxl-5 ! ! foot mut llvo
stories high. This will be erected immed
iately west of the present hoof house , mid
will extend to Thlrty-.th.ird street. Just
across Thirty-third street nnd norlh of "tho
pepsin works an immense warehouse will be
built. This will bo two stones hlirh with n
ground area of Il5x27t ! > teet. It will bo uscil
as a hide collar und cooperate and for tha
stotagoof canned goods.
A now butterino factory 00x100 feet and
three stoiics high will bo erected immed
iately wcs > t of the present buttcrmo factory.
The new building will huvo n capacity of
150,000 pounds of tno product per week. The
old buUcrinu factory will bo u tided to the
oleonurgorino d'jpaittneut.
A two-story tin shop I2. > xIfiO feet will bo
built west of Thirty-third street and north of
the present tin shop. The additional build
ing will Jpnko the dully product 7.1,000
packages , which is about double the present
capacity. ]
The fcrtlll/er department will bo Increased
by a new building f > OxlOO foot. Tlio old tin
shop will bo added to the canning depart
ment , which will givu thu latter a capncitv ot
I.IO.OOO to 200,000 pounds a day. A now re
pair shop 75x15 ! ) leet will be located immedi
ately cast of the old hog houso. To allow
this the loading chutes of tbo stock yards
company will bo removed and tha tracks
which travoiso the site of the contemplated
building will bo moved north of the' old ro-
Dull1 shops.
Tin additional power required by thuso
improvements will bo supplied by eight now
boilers ot 100 horse power each , nnu an addi
tional 15'J ton ice machine will bo put in.
The total capacity of the plant when the
projected improvement's are completed will
bo : ! , .VJO hogs per day In summer and 5.000 In
winter , l.'JOO cattle" , JVJO sbcep nnd ' , ' 00 calves
The number of inpn employed will bo
incrca = cil from about 1S00 to ilSXV , ) , Work
has nlrtadv been begun on thcso improve
ments , which will make the Cudahv plant
ono of the largest and most/complete in tno
United States
The additions to tlio plant of SwJftoit Co.
will increase their capacity > aoout 25 per
cent.Vorlc is already undnr'way arfj It is
expected that sonic of tha new Ucn.utmnnts
will be in use some tiipo In Muy , . .Tho prin
