A commuiitcatlon from City Attorney Cou
ncil opened the bull nt last night's session of
the council and discussion ilc\v thick mid
fast for n low minutes. The attorney stated
that ho had prepared a contract for the city
printing , awarded ono week ago tJ Klopp.
Uartlett & Co. , and it was ready for signa
ture If approved by the council.
Mr. Munro said that the charge had been
made that the contract had not been
awarded to the lowest bidder. Ho thought
that an Investigation would bo the proper
caper. Once ui > on a tlino n certain lum
ber contract was the subject of
much talk and n great error had
been made. The talK in regard to the pres
ent printing contract Is very similar in char
acter , and the matter should bo looked into.
Mr.Munro moved to reconsider the vote taken
at tfio last meeting , whereby the printing
eentraet was awarded to the linn that se
cured it.
\Vliern the City Snvod Money.
Mr. Saundcrs of the printing committee
defended tbo action of the committee and
said the contract had been awarded to the
lowest bidder. A complete tabulation was
made of the bids of the 11 vn competitors and
in that manner it was determined which was
the lowest bidder. Some of the bids were
very high upon articles used most and very
low upon those seldom used by the city. The
i-lty had been saved fcl.V ) Fiy the contract
being awarded to KIopp , Uartlett & Co.
Mr. IClsasscr , another member of the
printing committee , said that the criticism
mine from the losing bidders. This Is the
llrst time that the city has had any show in
the printing bids. The other fellows had
the contract for a long tlmo and their ox-
perlenco hud taught them how to bid to
make money. Mr. Klsasser believed that
the city had been beaten out of thousands of
'
dollars'by the existence of former contracts.
The contract hid been awarded to the low
est bidder , and the gentleman from the Second
end thought that the committee should be
Ktood by in Its action.
Mr. Steel bad investigated , and found that
the contract had been properly awarded.
Hell call upon the vote for reconsideration
was ordered , and each member voting took
occasion to explain his vote. Mr. limner
wanted no scandal and voted forrceonsidera-
tion. Mr. ICdwarlls believed In standing by
the committee , and voted no. Mr. Ilowell
thought that an investigation would do no
barm , and was in favor of it. So did Mr.
Munro. The motion to reconsider was lost by
11 vote of 0 to 1) ) .
Tbo recommendation of the Hoard of Pub
lic Works relative to streets to bo paved
during the present year was read. It did
not meet with favor and a motion to lay
upon the table prevailed. At a recent meet
ing the council adopted u resolution that
each councilman hand In bis recommenda
tion not later than the llrst Tuesday in Feb
ruary of the streets in bis ward that should
bo paved during the present year. Later
Mr. llascall moved to reconsider and take
the recommendation of the board from the
table. The motion carried , and the matter
was referred to committee of tbo whole.
Friday evening the council will meet in com-
inttteo of the whulo and consider the paving
question.
The bill for gas furnished tbo city during
January was presented. It looked as if the
gas company was a llttlo previous , and was
rushing its bill in altogether too soon. On
motion of Mr. Ilowell the comptroller was
instructed to return the bill to the gas com
pany witli u notification not to present it
until the month's supply hud been furnished
and the bill was due.
Tlio'HUperinteiident of the city hull asked
that tbo salary of the Janitor bo increased
from $45 to | RU per month. Hoferred.
A resolution was adopted calling for the
appointment of u comtnltteo to confer with
the county commissioners relative to paving
during the present year principal thorough
fares in the city , and that there may bo co
operation between the city and county in
this matter. Parker , Ilowell and MeLeario

they secured will bo deducted.
The committee on grades and grading
exonerated Councilman Steel from the
charge that ho had arbitrarily' stopped the
laying of a sidewalk upon Tnlrtloth street.
The complaint was made by Jean Schous.
Mr. Huseall rejKirted upon the question of
now quartets for the city Jail. The report
recommended that several desirable sites
can bo secured at moderate prices If bids bo
advertised for ono week. Tbo sites men

DISPOSING OF CITY OFFAL
low Shall the Garbage of Omaha Bo Ren
dered Ootnpletely Innocuous ?
BOSTON'S EXPERIENCE WITH CREMATION
Tout of n rnrnnco There Ilocpiitly Onvo
1'crfi'ct Nttl riictlon How It U Oper
ated Dr. Homer * < ) | > | ioiod to
Polluting Strolling.
At the present tlmo there is not a more
perplexing question before the people of
Omaha than that of how the city's garbage
shall bo cared for. The present system of
lumping into the river is unsatisfactory and
not successful. The Jones street dump Is a
nuisance of the rankest character , and from
the garbage carted there , arises an odor foul
ticyond comparison. How to improve the
present method is a question that has to be
settled soon and for all time to come. Dr.
Somers , commissioner of health , has fit-
inently called attention to the dump and
favors Its abnlishniPiit or an Improved man
ner of getting the giirb.igo into the channel
of the river.
\ Boston paper tells of an experiment
made In that city in which garbage was suc
cessfully cremated. Thoexperimcnt was wit
nessed by a number of city oftlclals , and It
was the first attempt of the kind over under
taken In Boston. It was purely experimental
and was done by a company manufacturing
the furnace. They were given permission , to
build a furnace at the city dump on Albany
street and to show what It could accomplish.
The Boston paper tells of the experiment as
follows :
Ilniv tliu Work U Done.
"They were met at the Albany street
yards by Treasurer Michael MeBarron of the
company , and the foreman , Mr. Gromcr
Jones , who had the furnace In full blast at
2,000 = , which ho stated could bo raised to
: ir,00 = , which is the point at which his
smelting furnace at Newark , N. J. , Is now
being run. and another at the United States
mint , Philadelphia. This heat Is obtained
from crude petroleum , steam and hot air.
The furnace was at white heat , and the
frozen garbage , as it was shoveled in through
openings at the top , instantly melted away ,
and was consumed to ashes In a few minutes.
"This experimental furnace is about ten
feet wide and twenty-three feet deep , with
a clear space above the ash pit bars of about
four feet. It is calculated to dispose of four
tons of garbage an hour. The city gathers
about 230 tons daily of which 100 tons are
carted to this dump , and sold to farmers ,
eighty tons in tlio forenoon and eighty tons
in the afternoon. The revenue derived is
about $2,000 a month. The balance of the
garbage not sold is carried to the outer har
bor and there dumped. About one-third
less swill is being sold this year than was
sold last yea * . No olTal Is brought to the
Albany street yard except that which is sold
to farmers of adjoining towns. The way it
is disposed of is , the farmers purchase a
ticket of the offal clerk for thoquantity they
want. This is taken to the clerk in charge
of the dump , and ho measures out the quan
tity the tickets call for. These tickets are
punched and returned at night to the clerk ,
who makes out his daily account from the
tickets sold.
"Tho city ofllcials consider the experiments
of yesterday to bo successful and showing
how easily garbage can bo disposed of by
cremation ; but the Albany street dump"is
not looked upon with favor as a proper loca
tion , especially in the summer. Yesterday
ho disagreeable odor was noticeable , and
nothing but steam passed into the air
through the draught stack. From all ap
pearances this furnace is easily handled ,
which was remarked upon by the committee ,
nnd in case of accident , the cutting off of the
gas which furnishes the flro. was instantan
eous , which could n'ol bo done if the blast
were supplied with coal. Ouo.of.tke guys
that held the draught stack parted and the
tall funnel fell to the ground , and this af
forded an excellent opportunity for a veri
fication of the claim. By a frequent opening
of doors at intervals along the sides of the
furnace the garbage was seen from the time
it was dumped in through the entire process
of incineration. "
Cnriiifr fur tliii Dump.
The citizens of Omaha are not the only
persons to whom the present garbage sys
tem Is a prolific source of annoyance.
Health Commissioner Somers says that the
dumps on the river Dank are a disgrace to
the civilization of the nineteenth century
and that it is hi < 'h time that the
national government prohibited by law the
pollution of any inland waters by depositing
therein the sewage of the cities.
Ho attributes tlio present unwholesome
condition of the dumps to the fact "that since
the closing of the river by the cold weather
about the middle of December all the refuse
has accumulated on the ice in front of the
dumps. Then again the health department
has been forcing the removal of garbage dur
ing tlio entire winter , instead of allowing it
to accumulate in the back yards and alloys
until spring as has often been the case here
tofore.
Dr. Somers thinks , however , that the ac
cumulated refuse will do no great damage
during the present frigid weather , and that
as soon as the Ice melts it will carry the
garbage along with It. The warm weather
of the past few days has brought an unusual
number of citizens to the health oflteo with
petitions for the removal of garbage , and the
commissioner argues from this that the
people have become awakened to the neces
sity for keeping clean , and less trouble will
bo experienced next season than hitherto.

BACK ON THE "RANGE.

'A good many of the old-time cattlemen
of Colorado are drifting back into the busi
ness , " said Mr. E. P. Black of Denver to a
Bnu reporter nt the I'axton yesterday.
"Sinco mining has become rather dull the
men who formerly made nlonoy in the cattle
business are looking the Held over and they
ibid that there are lots of small ranches that
can bo purchased and run without any
danger ot tlio rustler disturbance that
created a great deal of trouble , especially
in Wyoming , during tlio last two
years. These former owners of large
ranches will become the owners of
numerous smaller and more highly im
proved ranches. Tbo cattle business
in the west Is not a thing of the past , as
some people would try to make it appear.
The business will simply bo carried on in a
different manner.in a way that will bring more
certain returns , although tbo ranches will bo
small. The largo ranch business is practi
cally a thing of the past , and it is a good
thing that it Is so , for the cattle were never
properly cared for on the largo ranges where
they had to hunt for a living through the
winter. The successful ranch men are all
feeding tneir stock a little now through the
winter , and they are bringing them through
in much better shape than they used to
when thtfanimals were obliged to rustic for
themselves. "
