An Inturostlng Scuilon.
At n meeting of the city council hold last
nluht , Mr. Urunor was afforded an opportu
nity , o display his ability as * a presiding of-
liter , but ho throw that opportunity to the
wlndi.
Mr. Howell moved , that in the ataonco of
President Davis , Mr. Urunor bo elected to
preside ever the deliberation of the body.
Mr Brunor wanted the honor , but said that
lie had cramps of the stomach and might not
bc'nlila to sit the meeting out. The explana
tion woa accepted and Mr. Dcchel became the
thu president pro tnm.
When the con null got down to business the
vetoes of tt.o mayor were considered and this
WHS the first ouo that was presented to the
v.'lso mon :
Tint Tlnni Did Not .Suit Ills Honor.
"I herewith return without my approval
the contract with Andrew J nicks for puvlnc
St. Mury's nvcnno from Twenty-sixth street
to Twenty-seventh street , Improvement Dis
trict No. 450 , for the reason that. Iho timu
fixed in anid contract , for iho completion of
Bnld paving is December liO , ISW. So far as
the practical results are concerned the
date for completing this paving
might as well have been fixed bv the
lioirdof Public Works for the next Fourth
of July , as about Christmas lime. Unless
paving with iiiplinltuni can bo completed be-
lore severe cold weather arrives It cannot bo
completed nt nil. The outside tlmo for com-
plotmu this work should not have been later
than November 1 , which would have irlvon
Mr. Jatuka forty days for preparation und at
least thrco weeks for doing a sm.ill Job of
paving which should uo done within ono
week's ' tirno. 1 am desirous of favoring com
petition In the laying of asphaltum pave
ments , but I am not in favor of postponing
until next year work that , should be done this
Rbuson. Mr. Jnlckshns no right to nsk.nnd the
Boimt of Public Works has no right to grunt ,
such time for iho completion of this work as
will tnko It to a data In the winter season
when It ta impossible to be dono. While I
renrot to veto this contract , I do not hosltnto
to do so so far us working delay is concerned.
If there is an honest purpose on the part of
Mr. Jalcks nnd the Board of Publio Works
to have this work done this season a now
contract can bo presented In onu week's tlmo
fixing loasonablo limits for the commotion of
the work nnd whlcb would glvo Mr. .futcks
nil the tlmo necessary for establishing a
nlant in Omaha nnd doing the work on or bo-
foio October 1 or not inter than Novem
ber 1. "
Mr. Elsasser was the only member who
had anything to say rtfjardlng thu veto. Ho
remarked that it was wrong to single out
one contractor. Mr. .lalcks was tun unly
competitor whom the Barber Asphalt com
pany had ever mot , and It was not the correct
thing to drive him into thoocarth. Squlics ,
ho snid , who was at the head of the Barber
company , had robbed thn city of thousands
of dollars nnd the mayor had not attempted
to veto hts contracts , thuugh some of them
had not boon properly sicned or prepared.
The veto was rejected by a votooJ 12 to 4.
Votoisd.
The mayor vetoed a number of ordinances
ordering the improvement of streets. The
vetoes were based upon the grounds that tbn
ordinances failed to atnto whether the streets
were to bo paved , curbed or graded. Mr.
Howell wanted to know who drew the or-
ftlnnncei ,
Mr Specht , chairman of the coinmlttco on
paving , curbing and guttering , throw the re-
BpoiiBibllity upon City Engineer Hosnwnter
by saying that ho was the party who drew
tlio ordinances.
"Yos , " sold Mr. Chuffoe , "but the ordl-
nances passed through Iho hands of your
committee and were reported correct. "
Tbo veto was sustained and now uud cor
rected ordinances were Introduced.
There wus trouble when the mayor re
turned a veto on some of the items in the ap-
prourintlon ordinance Ho bad refused to
approve the bills of John A. Wakollcld for
lumber furnished to the city nnd used in the
liiyinc of sidewalks. In the vote ho stated
that Wakelleld's charges were excessive ;
tliat ho had not made deductions that he
should and , owing to that fact , ho advised a
cancclntion of tbo contract.
This brought on bursts of oratory. Mr.
Hovvoll said that the city attorney bad ex
pressed an opinion that the city could not go
bock on the contract without tboro was
fraud. Uo snid , however , that when the con
tract was let Wukollold wus tbo blgbost bid
der.
der.Mr.
Mr. Tutilo said that Wakelleld was from
$2 to W per 1,000 feet higher thun the other
bidders.
That statement brought Mr. Elsassor to
his feet. Ho wanted to know by what right
the contract wus awarded tf WnkoUeld was
thn highest bidder.
City Attorney Council said that the con-
cclalion of Iho contract meant a lawsuit. If
tlio contract wan obtained by frujd or by
mistake u cancclatton would stand , but if
WuUollohl was honest in his bidding the
mutter might bo different.
Mr. Elsussor urged a prompt nnd speedy
effort to llnd why the contract was not given
to the lowest bidder.
Mr. ChnfToo snid that ho bad talked with
tbo comptroller regarding the matter and
Ibnttbat gentleman had told bun that ho
had chocked the Wokolield bills and that his
prices were in nccordnnco with his bids.
Mr. Lawry culled for the ordinance , but it
was not with the vote mua.ss.go. The may
or's clerk was sent niter the ordinance.
When It came in , on its f.ico it showed that
the yoto covered bills amounting to JWJ.'Ji.
Then the members voted and Mr. Specht
was tho-tinly oi > o who stood by the mayor
and his veto.
To Icvostigato the overcharge , the presi
dent appointed Messrs. Munro , Steel and
Houcll u commlttoo. ,
Otluir Vutuus ItrJiittUiil.
There was another vote nnd It was signed
bv the mayor. In that document ho slated
that the First ward had got all of the cross
walks to which it was entitled under the
allotment. Notwithstanding Hint tniilt the
gentleman from that ward hud boon cunning
miouuli to secure some sit or eight moro than
ho wus entitled to receive.
Mr. Bnck , one of the representatives from
thu First ward , suld that thu mayor bud not
calculated correctly. Instead of that ward
having used all of the walks allotted , it had
some sixteen or eighteen that had not been
01dcred.
The vote was rejected , Mr. Munro nlono
voting no.
In the general appropriation ordinance
there was an allowance of tr > 0 to Adam
Snyder fur damages to u horse which wn
injured by coming in contact with u water
fountain. The chairman or the coinmltteo
on claims said thiit the bill hud been Investi
gated and found correct. This settled it und
nil of the members voted to overrldo the
ninyor'b voto.
The Item pf 81.500 to aid In the construction
of the urldk'o overOut-OiT luke was In the
uDurnprlation ordinance. The Item wai
vetoed by the mayor , hn statlnc that the ex
penditure. In his opinion , was illegal1 nnd
unauthorized mm thut the ( . 'ourtluud Beach
Improvement association had not lived up to
Us ugrcomunt In the way of Improving the
giouuds on the south shore of tbo lulio.
The veto wus rejected bv a vote of 13 leI ,
Mourn. J&cohson , Munro. Tuttle und Specht
being the members who were with the
ma } or.
A Momiiigii Irom tli Mayor.
The mayor wrote this resiirding the No
vember election :
'On the Stti day of November next u general -
oral election will bu hnd | In the city of
Omaha to elect ktnto oftlcers nnd for oilier
purposes , in view of the fact that under tbo
Aubtrullan ballot system a nenoral or snecml
election Involves u very lario uxpunso , 'It Is
not only desirable , but ubsolutoly necessary ,
that nuv propositions propou-d to bo submit

should bo submitted nt the November elec
tion. The time Is now at hind , not only for
tbo coiiildarution but for taking action with
reference to nny proposition to bo submit ,
led to the people concornlun worki
of publlo Improvement for the next year. If
it Is proposed to issue additional bond * for
paving , tower construction , or * uy other
purpose , the matter should bo considered by
your honorable body without delay , nnd
ordinances should bo passed authorizing nnd
directing the submission of such propositions ,
In view of the unprecedented and unneces
sary delay in the work of publlo improve
ments during the present year , t am not sun )
that the electors of tbo city of Omaha will
bo disposed to vote additional bonds , but It
wo nro to continue the wont of paving nnd
BQWCU- construction additional funds will bo
necessary.
"I much regret the delay which has oc
curred , nnd that proper heed was not given
to my menaces urging prompt action , dating
back to my Inaugural In January. I trust ,
this communication will receive the atten
tion It deserves , and that unnecessary dclavs
In taking action regarding works of publlo
Itnnrovomcnt will cease , and that Irom this
tlmo forward the taxpayers of Omaha will
bavo no cause for the Just comulnlnU now
being made. "
Mr. Muuro expressed the opinion that men
could not bo hired to servo , us Judgoi nnd
clork3 at $3 n day.
Mr. Howell scouted the Idea , and said that
there were 2UOO , men In tbo city who would
accept such positions.
Mnilp Vitcitnt Mr. Wlljou's Position.
The council picked up Sidewalk Inspector
John M. Wilson nnd dronpcd ihlm overboard
In short order. They accomplished thU by
the adoption of the following rcsolutiou ,
which was signed by sixteen membars :

laid by private parties.
Comptroller Olson reported that the cx-
ner.ses incurred In holding the Nebraska
Central bond election amounted to the sum
of SS,784.53.
Upon the subject of tearing tip nnd repay
ing the Tenth stieot viuuuct City Engineer
Hosewalor nnd Chairman Blrkhuliscr of the
Board of Publlo Works reported some rotten
blocks , but wrote that tho.v did not deem it
advisable to order the structure ] ropivcd at
this time.
Uoon the subject of the Eleventh street
vladunt the coinmltteo appointed to investigate
'
gate its condition rcportc'd a stnto of affairs
as described In last nvenlng's 13in. :
Thu committee recommended that stops nt
once bo taken to put the structure In a safe
and passable condition.
City Engineer Kosewater said that the re-
paving ulouo would cost 37,500. Ho could
not toll what the roplanklng under the pav
ing would cost , but estimated it at W,5UO.
The vindust would have to bo repaired or
closed up at once , as it was in a dangerous
condition. Tbo nucstlon , however , was
wbora was the money to como from to make
the repairs.
Mr. Lowry movrd that the report bo re
ferred to the commlttoo on viaducts and rail
ways , the Ijoard of Public Works and the
city engineer , with power to act.
Mr. Jncobson said that ho should oppusa
thooxpot'dlturo of $10,000 , ns the city did
not have that amount of tauuoy on hand with
which to mnko repairs.
Mr. Chnffeo said that It was a question of
tin an co and u serious question , too. Tha
street railway company should bavo boon
charged n.sum for crossing , nnd that sum
should have been saved to pay tor mnulug
repairs.
Mr. Howell moved ns an amendment that
the committee next Tuesday night report to
the council the sum of money tint would be
required to make the repairs. This motion
prevailed.
Ono week ago the hack and baggagemen of
the city complained lo the council that the
Omaha Transfer company monopolized tbo
business and snaco at the union depot. This
was referred lo the committee on viaducts
nnd railways. Last night this committee re
ported ibat no relief could bo afforded until
the completion of Iho now union depot , as
the roads selling tickets to and beyond
Omaha had a contract with the Transfer
company which made it absolutely necessary
that Us tpiui9 should bo at the depot and oc
cupy the limited amount of space about the
platform.
ICrgtilatlng the Spued of Street Cars.
The ordlnhiico to regulate iho speed of
the running of street cars was passed. This

at a rate of speed not. exceeding lUteon miles
per hour.
The ordinance accepting and approving tbo
plans for the uroposed Fifteenth street via
duct was read three times and nassrd.
The tune-honored ordinance regulating the
kind of wagons to bo used in hnulinir earth
over paved streets nnd compolllng all grad
ing contractors to take out a permit , and da-
posit a forfeit that they will clo.in up from
the streets all earth spilled , was passed by a
vote of 10 to 5.
By rasolution the telephone company was
inntructcd to remove its poles to the curb
line on the west side of Twenty .fourth from

ON RIGHTS OF THE LOWEST BIDDER

Hoard Arranging to Erect
Nu\v
Borne discussion arose among the mombora
of the Hoard of Kducatlon at last uleht's
moating as to the kind of heating apparatus
to bo placed In the Windsor Place school.
The committee on buildings nnd property
recommended hot air.
Mr. Powell made a strong plea for stoaui
beat. Ho hold that steam was sdperlor to
hot air as a medium for furnishing heat. Ho
asked some members of thocoramlttpo if they
had not received word from eastern cities
very recently to the effect that steam was
being oxployod In proforeuco to hat air ,
Mr. Coryoll stated that the very opposite
was tbo case. Eastern cities were using hot
air , ho said , instead of steam.
Mr. Powell then asked again , very point
edly , If the coinraluco on buildings and prop
erty had not received telegrams very re
cently from eastern cities pertaining to the
matter.
President Spnldlng answered , snylne that
ho hud received such telegrams and had
turned them ever to the committee. These
telegrams stated , hu said , that stem in was
being adopted lit eastern cltlos.
After some further discussion tbo board
voted on tbo report and adopted hot air for
the Windsor building.
Wanted to Withdraw 11U Hid.
The contract * cr doing the carpenter work
on the new Windsor place building was
awarded to Duncau Ifinlaysou nt $3,375 , und
the brick woik was awarded to C. P. Stroms-
berg at S10.0UO.
Mr , Martin then informed the board that
Mr. Stromsbcrg bad Just informed him that
ha hud made a mlstuuo and bid too low. Ho
wanted to withdraw the bid.
Mr. Coryoll moved that Mr. Stror.isberg
bo permitted to withdraw his bid Including
the f'JOO check ,
Mr. Morrison nnd Mr. Smyth made n hard
light against the withdrawal of the check.
They declared that such a course would
break dowu all protection in tbo future and
permit the contraeto'rs to play horse with
the board. If contractors could withdraw
their bids at any time they would out in
straw bids and manipulate matters to suit
themselves.
Mr. Strornsborg appeared and made the
explanation that ha had made an error in
calculating the number of brick by about
ittlUOO. ) This would cost him ovo'r Si.OOO
moro than ho had calculated. lie hoped the
board would lot him out of thu hole.
Dr. Gibbs pleaded tor tuo contractor , be-
cuusu the poor fellow had made a mistake.
He thought U was very evident that the man
had made a mistake , because ho had bid
lower than any of the others by $2,300.
llu'll Know Itcttur Next Tlmt > .
Mr. Coryoll toott the ground that the
board could not retain the chock If Air.
Stromsberg was permitted to withdraw his
bid. Even it the board should attempt to
bold Stromsbarg to his contract and ho
failed to furnish a satisfactory bond , then'
the board would , ho said , bo obliged to lot
htm out and return his chock.
Mr. Powell took up the argument holding
that the board would bo laying down the
bars for a long train of frauds by allowing
this man to withdraw his checlc along with
his bid. Higher bidders could bargain with
the lowest bidder at any llmo to bavo the
lowest bid withdrawn and then divide the
prollts made by the high-priced contract thus
forced unou the board.
Corycll's motion to permit Stromsborg to
withdraw his check failed to carry by a
vote of 0 to 3. Coryoll , Polo Is and Wobror
voted aye ; Globs , Smyth. Martin , Elsuttor ,
\V. JM. IJaucock , Popploton , Morrison , Gib
son nnd Powell voted ngalust the motion.
The contract for the carpenter work on the
Saratocu school was awarded to Duncan Fin-
luyson at SS,32fJ.
The coinmltteo recommended that the con
tract for brick work on the satno building bo
awarded to Ueveroll Bros , at $12,033. The
board concurred in the report.
Coryell's yuoor I'l'opoiition.
The committee on buildings and property
recommended that the brick work on tbo now
Hartman building DO lot to Brayton &
Donnecker at $ i'JU90 ana thi-caroenter work
to Bovorlov & Wooloy nt.l ,2K ! ) .
Mr. Coryoll brought in a minority report.
Ho thought the contract for the brick work
should bo let to Dollono & Cooper because
that llrm had boon the lowest the first time
the board advertised for the work on the
Hartraan building. The board had made a
mlstako tbo llrst timu it advertised. Dellonc
& Cooper wore the lowest at that time. They
were not the lowest bidders on the second
advertisement , but as a matter of fairness
and encouragement Mr. Coryoll thought that
Dellono & Cooper ouubt to have the contract.
Then the fur oegan to fly. Mr. Popploton
declared that the board should lay asldo this
Idea of sympathy for contractors and proceed
on business principles. Ho held that thn
lowest responsible bidder should get the con
tract. Tno first bid on this building was a
thing ot tbo past und the board had to deal
only with iho bids that were received in ro-
sponsu to tbo second advertisement , for all
of the first bids had bcun rejected.
Will Co to tlio Lowest Itldilor.
Morris Morrison carried down the mem
bers who wanted to let iho contract to Del
lone & Cooper In a vigorous manner. Ho de
nounced It as a fraud. Brayton & Uon-
nocker wore nearly $1,000 lower than Dullono
& Cooper , ho said , and oven If tboy were but
$300 lownr they should bo awarded the con
tract rather than Dollono & Cooper.
The motion to let the contract to Dellono &
Cooper was defeated on tbo following .vote ;
Yeas : VV. N. Babcock , Coryoll , filgiittcr.
Ulbbs , Smyth , Webror. Nays : Martin. Mor
risen , Points , Popploton , Powell , Gibson ,
Spaldmg. '
The majority report was then adopted ,
awarding the contract for the brick work to
Brayton & Donnocltor , and the carpenter
work to Beverly & Wooley.
A long discussion ensued over the boating
apparatus to bo selected for tbo now Hurtman
school. The commlttoo recommended the
Fuller & Warren system of hot air. The
committee hold that the Fuller & Warrnu
system was the best that could bo put in and
Uoop within the appropriation.
Mr. Smyth and Mr. Powell wanted to see
the Smti.h system of heating and ventilating
adopted , because it was moro than fJOO
cheaper than the Fuller & Warren system.
It was tlnnlly decided to put in steam bent
if It could bo done within the appropriation.
A motion to eliminate BOIIIO of iho piosscd
brick und use common brick HO as to cut
dowu the cost aud to put in the Holbrook
system of ste'am heat was put and untried.
Mr. Martin informed the board that Mr.
Mayo , to whom the contract for tbo carpen
ter work on iho Central school was awarded ,
hud not furnished a boiid. The board gave
Mr. Mayo forty-eight hours moro la which
to sign the contract and furnish a satisfac
tory bond , und if at the and of that time ho
has not done so | the contract will bo let to
tbo next lowest bidder.

the weather crop bulletin for the week , Is
sued by the Department of Agriculture :
The wcok was warmer than usual from
western Texas , northeastward to Missouri
and over all districts from the Mls.Msslnpi
valley eastward to the Atlantic coast. It was
also warmer tnau usual ever thu ptatoau re
gions , and thoncu westward , Including all
Paclllo coast states. The dally temperature
nvoragcd from thrco degrees to live decrees
above the normal from Michigan nnd north
ern Indiana eastward to Now England , und
geuornlly throughout ( ho Pacltlo coast and
pluioau districts. In the aulf status the
teinporatuo conditions were normal , or
slightly below , nearly normal tonipqraturos
prevailed ever Nebraska , Kansas , the Da-
Uotas and Minnesota , wullo ever Montana
Wyoming the week was decidedly cooler
than usual , slight frosts , causing no injury ,
however , occurred In Wyoming. Kxcopt
where severe drought prevails the week ,
with rospact to tomnoraturo , has boon been
very favorable to crops and ngrlculturnl
pursuits. Wheat Harvesting is now well
ever , and threshing Is general. Cotton pick
ing is conoral in southern Uoorglu und is
progressing elsewhere in the south.
The seasonal temperatures from March 1
to uato have not been materially alTeutod by
the past. wcok. Nearly normal conditions
now prevail castwurd of the Mississippi ,
while to the wost.wnrd dellcloncios exist ,
amounting from 1 ° to 2 = per duy for the
I'ruvlpltiktion.
Very heavy rains have fallen ever portions
of the central gulf slntos , and moro ttitin tlio
usual amount Is reported from portions of the
lower lake region , upper Missouri valley nnd
over limited area from north and central
Texas to central Kansas. Over much tho.
greater part of the country , however , the
rainfall lor the week has been decidedly below -
low the average , and over extensive areas
from the lower Missouri , central and upper
Mississippi valleys to the Atlantic coast no
rain , or only very light showers , have fallen.
The drouth of the previous week has been
Intonslllud , nnd is now general ever the
principal agricultural statei from the Du-
kotas , Kansas and Nebraska cast ward to the
Atlantic coast.
Tno seasonal rainfall from March 1 Is
about as previously reported , except ever the
northern and central states oastof the Kooky
mountains , where the season's excess has
been somewhat reduced , owmg to the light
rainfall ot thu current week.
Tt'lCKt'iiplilc Ituports.
Missouri Necessity for good rain , pas
tures short , plowing slow , harvest generally
completed.

nights have somewhat chucked rapid growth
of corn.
South Dakota Scattered showers and
cooler weather favorable to late crops ; wheat
harvest far advanced ; heat Tuesday wrinkled

week was beneficial to corn , which , though
late , Is doing wall.
