Wbon the county commissioners made the
levy last July tbo people of South Omaha
asked thorn to levy a tax which would enable -
able them to raise money to do this building.
Acting upon the advice of the county attor
ney , the commissioners refused to malto the
levy , holding that South Omaha , being a
city of the second class , under the provisions
of the htato law , it could make its own levy
for thia purpose.
The /mittor wont into the courts , where it
was decided in favur of boutti Omaha und
ugalnst the commissioners. Then the nioin-
bcr-i of the board asked their attorney for an
opinion. This document was lllud with the
board vcstordav and slated that while possi
bly it was iho duty of iho commissioner * to
have muilo the levy In July , the lima had
now passed , and that they huii no autbority
to act in ibo premises.

been named for the position , but Mr. Pad
dock has succeeded In having the election

satisfaction of the majority of the board ,
Mr , Stouborg moved that the board pro
ceed to iho election of a member of the
Soldiers Itohof commission , to till the vacancy
caused by the resignation of M. D , Hoche.
Mr. Berlin wanted to know if there wan not
an understanding with Mr. Paddock when
ho went away that the election should go
over until bis return. Mr. Stonburg said
that bo know nothing about uay such agree
ment. That nettled it rind then they voted
