Although some of Its original features
have beun eliminated or mutilated almost
beyond recognition the Omaha charter has
now bccoino iv law. It lias passed tlio
legislature with an cmurpctioy clause up-
landed and the assUiuous uffoits of Its pro
genitors have not Ix'rn in vain. A little | irl-
vale tlnUerltiff in the interests of Individuals
lias modified soinocf its provisions and sev
eral clauses wMrh were roRardeil aw essen
tial have hccn strlrken out , but altogether
thrro Is no great ground for complaint.
As tlio charter now stands ( hero are sev
eral surprises in some of its provisions , and
perhaps the greatest of all is In the one pro
viding for a board of public works , and the
appointment of the members. As the orig
inal measuiu went to Lincoln it legislated
out of olllco the present members of the
board and provided for the appointment of
their successors In July of this year. As it
comes back It is fou'id that the only one who
will step down and out will bo Major Hirk-
liauser , whoso tenure of oflleo ceases the 1st
of July. This fnct was brought about by
amending the senate bill in the house by in-
Bcrting 18ST In lieu of IS'.HI ' in the section pro
viding for the appointment of the throve
members on the 1st day of July , one for one ,
one for two , and one for three years. This
permits Major Fumy to hold on for another
year and Major Ualcombo for two years , and
the scheme to legislate these two worthies
out of oflico went glimmering. Hut there are
other radical changes in this section , and
two of the present city officials will stop
down and out of oniec the 1st of July. They
are Street Commissioner YYjnspcar and Side
walk Inspector Uonncwiteh. Umlertho new
order of things one of the members
ofi the board will bo known as the
street commissioner and will have charge of
all the work upon or over tin1 surface of the
streets , sum as paving and sidewalks. An
other member ol the board will bo known as
sewer commissioner , and shall supervise all
public worksunder the surface of the streets
Kach shall receive a salary of J'-i.OOO. The
third member shall be chairman of the
board , and his compensation shall bo f'J.filK )
per year. Some question has been raised ,
however , as to whether the members of the
board , under the constitution , can have their
salaries increased during their term of
ofllcc.
Section 10 is amended so as to quiet all
disputes regarding the compensation of
judges and clerks of election. It piovides
that at all general elections they shall re
ceive as entire compensation the sum of ? 'J ,
one-third to be paid by the citv , one-third by
the one-third school district
county and - by the
trict , and at all special elections $1 is the
sum named
Tin * number of members of the Hoard of
Health Is Increased by the addition of the
plumbing inspector , nntl in other respects the
peisonnol of the board remains the saino. In
many instances the powers of tlio board are
Increased or extended. The authority is
nlso given the Ixiatil under instructions from
the council to provide for the city taking
hold and awarding the contract for dispos
ing of the city garbage , the city to meet the
Oxpenso and not tlio Individual as is now
the case. This is discretionary with the
council. The levy for the board is increased
from * ( of a mill to one mill on the dollar
taluatlon.
Svction 41 of the o'd charter gave the
council and the mayor power to regulate and
inspect the s.ile of meat , coal , milk and all
kiuils of produce. The amended measure
adds the power to license the sale of any of
these commn'litios.
The amendment to the section empower
ing the council to order the construction of
viaducts eliminates the clausu which pro
vided that the railroad companies should not
ho required to pay for that portion of a via
duct exceeding a distance of 8H ( ) feet. The
amendment also provides for the repair or
reconstruction of the viaducts bv the rail
roads that built them and llxes a tine of $100
per day for their refusal to comply with the
order of the council concerning such repairs
or reconstruction. The mayor and council
may also In case of failure on the part of the
companies to make needed repairs have the
work done and the cost assessed tothe com
panies.
The section authorising the city to erect ,
construct and maintain water works was
amended by tbo addition of the words "or
purchase. "
Section ( M , a now amendment , gives the
mayor and council tbo power to appropriate
private property for the use of the city.

boar interest at a greater rate than 5 per cent

In any on < ] year and till bonds except district
Improvement bonds shall bo voted upon and
must bo authorised by a vote of two-thirus
of all the electors , voting on the proposition.
A provision has been added to section ( K5
regulating the manner of drawing warrants ,
which says :
The authoiltlcs of any such city shall not In
any year Issue warrants or orders to an
amount o.NCCcdlng ninety (00) ( ) per cent of the
taxes luvied ( or such year , and the amount
actually received from other sources , and said
city tuuhorltjcxhliall notcoiitiiictor Incur any
ImlolitiMlness In addition to the amount ( or
wlilcb tjx > y ant authorl/cd to Usuu warrants
or outers or bonds.
The section regulating the paving of space
between the rails of street car tracks was
amended so that when a majority of per
front foot of the property owners abutting
upon any street1 shall petition the mayor ami
council in writing , requesting the extension
of any street railway to bo constructed upon
such street , ami shall watvo the obligation
of the street railway company to pave be
tween the rails and tracks , then the street
railway company may construct a line ol
street railway along said street or part ol
street , covered by said petition , and shall
not bo required to pave between its rails anil
track , but such paving shall bo done by the
city and paid for by taxation upon the abut
ting property as other paving is done by the
city.Tho

The levy for park fund was fixed at not
less tnan Pj mills nor greater than 3 mills ;
the judgment fund at fl mills and the Hoard
of Health fund at 1 mill.
The section regulating the council's

CRUSADE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

At the meeting of the Hoard of Health
yesterday afternoon the squatter problem
was taken hold of In a practical manner ,
that shows the members mean business nnd
arc determined to wlpo out of existence the
Intolerable nuisance that nourishes down on
the river front. Just as soon as it is possible
to prepare them notices will be served upon
each squatter ordering thorn to vacate within
thirty days. It Is hoped by simply serving
the notices to convince the donircns of
Shnntytovvn that the board is In earnest nnd
that they had Just as well move ono time us
another , and perhaps do avv.iy with the legal
proceedings that will bo no c-is.iry In case
the squatter settlement is not broken up by
tlio squatters themselves. In the mean
time the preliminary steps will bo taken ,
and in case the notices to vac.ito do not
bring about the desired result , but little de
lay will be experienced in commencing the
work of ejectment.
Chief of Police Soavoy has taken a great
Interest in the matter of breaking up the
squatter settlement , and the following re
port submitted by him to tin board shows
the result of his investigations into the con
ditions existing there : Chief Seavey said ,
Chief Sri : > l > ' Iteport.
"I have the honor to make the following
report _ concerning squatters living on the
bottom's' cnst of Sixth street and between
Jackson and Mason streets : \
"For the purpose of ascertaining thcUruth
of the statements of these squatters ti\ \ your
honor.iblo bodv rnncomliiff the.wntPr" used
i * mem lor drinking , cooking , etc. , I de
tailed Oniecr White in citizens' clothes Fri
day , April 7 , to watch the artesian well near
the railroad. His report shows that ho was
on duty there from h o'clock a. m to 0. 15 p.
in. that day. and that but twenty-six per
sons , including these in the immediate vi
cinity , went to the pipe for artesian water.
Sixty-three persons were seen during this
time to dip up palls of water from the" filthy
ditch ol stagnant water that was close by
where the squatters are livlntr and carry it
to their shanties 1 also detailed Sergeant
Sigwart and Ofllccr Sebek to take the
names of all the squatters living
within the described territory , to
gether with other information concern
ing these peoplo. Sergeant , Klgivart's report
shows that there are 10 ! ) families , consisting
of ! : adults and 2(51 ( children living in 211
low , small , dirty , rooms. That ninety men of
these 103 families an. rcgulary employed
and work every day as follows : Employed
at smelting works , 35 ; packing houses II ;
common laborers , -10 ; junkman , 5 and ex
pressmen 1. "
Sergeant Sigwart's report showed the
number of shanties , with the rooms in each
ono , the number of families , the number of
members of each , ocoup.i ing the same. The
report disclosed n most revolting state of
aflairs. In most instances whole fan. Hies
are huddled together in a dingy little room.
and the number in some families reach as
high as ten. A sort of a boarding house ex
ists there and nine adults cat and sleep in
two small rooms , besides a number of
children. In addition to showing the nbovo
facts the report details the condition of eacli
house and the premises , and the word clean
does not appear.
The chief was given a vote of thanks for
providing tlio information.
Action Derided Upon.
Mr. Howell's resolution requesting the
council to take immediate action to have all
Its streets nnd alleys opened in the district
east of Sixth , and between Jackson and Ma
son streets , and that the city engineer bo re
quested to furnish a plat she wing the streets
and nllois , was adopted.
City Engineer Kosewater was called in.
Ho said that with the exception of heaven-
worth street , no streets were opened up
tluough the district occupied by the squat
ters. Ho thought the best plan to pursue
was to have tlio engineering department
prepare a plat showing the streets and al
loys , and the location of the shanties. The
suggestion was considered a good ouo and ho
will prepare the plat.
On motion of Chief of Police Seavey. Dr.
Sornors was instructed to prepare notices to
servo upon each squatter ordering them to
vacate their premises within thirty days ;
also that Herman Kount7o bo requested to
have the squatters on his premises east of
Twentieth street and soutli of Poppleton
avenue removed within thirty days.
The chief of police was requested to detail
the officers who have looked up the data fur
nished the board , to servo tlio notices of re
moval upon the squatters.
Chief Seavoy made a motion that smoking
be not allowed in the rooms during the ses
sions of the board and it prevailed , although
Councilman Howcll entered a vigorous
protest.
James Stephenson has been dumping his
street sweepings at the Jones street dump
and not into the river. Ur. Sumcrs was in
structed to notify Mr. Stephenson to throw
the street refuse into the river.
The matter of having the rubbish nnd
refuse removed from the sidewalk surround
ing the old Uepublican building at Tenth
and Douglas streets was referred to Mayor
IScmis.
Dr. Somers gave notice that the depart
ment had abated the first nuisance under the
ordinance providing for the assessing of the
cost against the property.
Mayor Hemls called the attention ol the
board to the fact that some of the catch
basins to the sewers were in an unsanitary
condition and should bo Hushed at regular
intervals. The mayor also suggested that
the streets , nnd alleys and gutters should bo
flushed at least once a week and given a
thorough washing. From a sanitary stand
point ho believed that such is necessary , and
that the sweeping of the streets does not
gather up the filth and dirt in the crevices
where it is most llablo to breed disease. The
matter was referred to Dr. Somers and City
Engineer Andrew Kosewater for investiga
tion to report at the next mooting.
