8 Tins OMAHA DAILY KBE ; ? WKDNKRDAY , JULY 20 , 1803. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Major Be'mh Vetoes the Garbage Contract , tint is Hot Sustained. COUNCILMEN-IGNORE POPULAR "DEMAND llilrleen Membrrn Utlllra I'nlillo Opinion , KI ft Ilonr Mnl nnilVlpn Thrlr feet on the I'poplo'nlnlicii llirco True Men. The city council last night hurlcil ilcnnnco In the tcetb of the major , the people nnil tbo press of the city. It passed the M.ieDonald garbage contract over a vigorously worded veto from Major Heinls. Tbo ilccil was executed with nil possible liaitc. Mr. Hascall , who poses ns the mill-monopoly member of the council , performed tbo functions of chief ndvocato nnil ho won. Ho championed tbo contract from start to llnlsh nml forgot nil about the Independent mass meeting down at Exposi tion hull , to which ho hail Induced the coun cil to accept an invitation to attend In a body on the occasion of a previous meeting. Several members urged adjournment at different times to enable the council to attend tbo meeting , but Mr. llnscall Insisted on the mayor's vote being considered previous to adjournment. Ho considered that tbo city would suffer in case consideration of the matter was postponed another twenty-four hours nnd ho was very much elated when the clerk began reading tbo following veto from Mayor Hcmls : Miijnr Hi-nil * ' nmphntlo Veto. To TIII : lloNOHAiu.r. TIII : CITV Cou.soir , or THU CITV or OMAHA ( lenllemeii : I re turn herewith without my appioval , the contract made and entered Into with A. Mae- Ionuld for the removal of the garbage of the city. I vein this contract for several reasons : 1'lrst Thu linnil glM-n bv the contractor In Illegal , being directly contrary lo the pro visions of section Ull of chapter \lll. of thu Compiled Ordinances of I Hill ) , which piovliles that "no person or poisons. Unit or eorporllmi having iiny contract or agicomont with thu city for the pcrfoiinnneo of any service or fiilllllment of HIIV duty or obligation for the city , slmll be accepted at suiety upon the bond of any other contractor having agucmontsor contracts with thuelly , " h-Vcnnd The sureties on the bond have not instilled , as r | iilied by Reel Inn 1'J , chapter xlll , Complied Ordinances of ln'J ( ) . Aside ( Kim these reasons , which I regard as amply sulllclent to sniiport a veto. I have vetoed this contract on the geneial ground that the Interests of our rlllrens have not been properly guarded , and I bellcvo It to ho not only a poor business policy , hut.idoun tight In justice to our cltl/ens , If , Indeed , It Is not an outrageous Imposition upon the residents of Omaha to fasten upon them a grinding monopoly with power to bleed the boiisu- liohleis without any locomponso lolhuclly except the miserable sublet fngo of n paltry IUoO per year , I do not believe. It Is advisable to enter Into Mich a contract for a long poi led of time. The whole matter In meiely an experiment , and one or two vcars ut tlio most would glvo plenty of time todemonsttato the practicability of the scheme. I'lirther than thK the matter was not given RUllli-lont publicity to eimblu the city to receive - coivo thu iH-nuflt of vigorous coinputltlon. Dellnlle spvclllcntlonssboii d have been pre pared nnd adxcitlsed In several eastern papurs , thereby ghlng other ontsICo con tractors an oppoitunlty to come In on as fair u basis UK the pieteut cqntractlng paity fiom Inwa. H lias been the general un derstanding that the steps tala-n were In the nature of an experiment to give the munici pality an Idea of what might bo done. In order that a definite couise might he niaikcd out. Tliu Interests of our elll/uns hn\e not boon Rioporly piolected In the contract In question , o tnovlshms have licen made for these citi zens who luiiil tbelrown garbage , manuio , etc. They will be absolutely at the meicy of the contractor , who Is given the exclusive right to remove mid tiinUu u o of all deud iinlninls , garbage , ollal , nlghtsoll , etc. KvenJho city II- Bolf will boat the mercy of the monopoly which this contract seeks to create. The provision Is made for dumping street sweepings and the city will be forced to the nltei native of allow ing the garbage contractor to become- the street RWeoping contractor or ullowour stioo'-s to leinaln miswept. Over and abo\u nil this , however. IB the matter - tor of the expense tooiircltl/ens. luoni a care ful computation , based upon the data at the command of the Hoard of Health , 1 have nmdo the deduction that tlie cltl/cns of Omaha are now paying ut least WD.OOO nor year for the haullni ; of giubago. Theno fig ures represent the cost of romov Ing about one-thlid of all the garh.igc. which Is now moved. Mipposlm ; that no more garbage should bo moved under this contract than is moied at piesent , the contractor would then rcallio about J100.0UO per year , but umlor the power granted by existing ordinances the contractor could force all'cltUons to 10- niou ) their garbage , thereby gieatly In creasing the revenue. Moieover , thu prices for removing dead animals , fur neatly allot which the city would have to pay , are much greater under this contract than under the e.xlstlng contract with Nlday. The city Is now paying il per head tor lioiscs , cows , etL' . , weighing over 000 pounds ; In the MacDiinald contiact the price Is j'J. \\u aie now iiuylng 50 cents each for dead dugs , but will lie compcliiM to pay 70 cents under the propost-il conliact. IsUnt soil Is now ro- jnovod for 7 cents per cubic foot ami Ilio new price will be 10 cents per cubic foot. I furthoi bellovu that this contract is Illegal , for the reason that It is not a fraii- chUo within thu legal meaning of that word , nnd that the wnolo pro ceedings aio liioguhir and void. Section l'J3 of Ilio charter us amended piovldcs that "No ordinance granting any fiaiichlso shall bo passed until at least two weel.s shall Imvo elapsed after Its Inttodui-llon nor until after the same lias been published In tbu olllclal Diiperof thecllv. " In this case no oidlmmco lias been passed grouting i this franchise and for that rensun the piocoedlngs Jiuvu boon Ir regular. i-oi inosoreasons and for many others of a blmllar niitnto 1 tegatd this contiact a most pernicious one and one which the best Inter- i-bln of oiii oily reiiulro should not ho unteiei ] Into. Kespoctfully , Oi.oaiii : I1. ItuMis , Mayor. llndcitvorril til l iplnln. As quickly ns the clerk bad ceased Mr. Iluscnll was on bis feet. Ho presented to tbu council a duplicate bond signed by S. Wiley and A. 11. Hunt , in which those gentlemen qualitled that they were worth the sum of $10,000 in unen cumbered real estate , "over anu ubovi all liabilities nnd eruptions. " Mr. Hiisc.il. explained , when his attention was railed to the matter , that the word "eruptions" shoiih bo "exemUloiib.iiid | was only an error H hlcl would not affect the validity of the xunlilica lion. The bond was ordered Hied. Then Mr. Hascall began plcadinghiscaso He thought the mayor was either not hold Ing to tbo tiuth or the city attorney did not know much ln\v. Ho contended that tbu contract , wan strictly In accordance with the ordinances of the city , the prices very reasonable , every safeguard was pro- Viand and that the riding of tlio contract over the mayor's veto and Its tlnal accept ance vtouhl provo a bonanza for the municipality , Mr. Hnscnll considered that it 'vas link-Cit fortunate for tbo city to find A inun with ability to talio hold of thu mutter of removing thu garbage , lie sniil t la's o and n great many other things along thu same line. His speech was lengthy and be roasted the imior and the press for not ihotvlnt' a nay to dispose of thu garbage. SI un i D M'nrpii Ilio Monopoly. Mr. Munro replied to the First want gen- tli'imtn , He mini. "Thu facts cited in the of tbu mayor are trim and tlio . como from the Board of Health mid Dr. Homers. Tbo removal of dead animals U now done under contract and tbo prices minted by thu mayor are cor rect , Under this contrai : ' . it will cost three or lour times what It previously has. After investigation I IInil that In ono year thuru vicro hauled to tbu liver dumps iil..VJ loads of garbage and manure , which , at DO cents a load , would amount to ftil,03S : ; 14-IDO loads of night soil that would amount to JO',000 under the charges tlxed In this , contract , nnd f 12,000 vins mild for the removal of ocad animals , which under the new contract would cost f-1,000 , Just double. Thus it will bo seen thai tbu citl/ciib of Omaha will Viiy the contractor at these rates til7,72-4 per jour. Tbeto Is nothing in the contract to pi event the now contractor dumping Into the rlycr the sumo as thu city Is now doing. In fact , it is tbu most loose- Jointed contract over presented to this coun cil , I am surprised at the gentlemancnduuV' orinir to p.itdi up the illegality by bringing in a Justification bond.'u did not vote on that , unit It Is not worth thu paper it is writ ten on. There U as much illlTcreiico in this contract and the advertisement for bids as there U between night and day In fact there Is no coiuparUou. The prices named In the contract are not at all In accorduncu with ( bo bid and it li impossible to show that such U not the rase. I contend that the contract Is tlrr.ply a f ranch ! so ns U conveys exclusive rights. Any member of this coun cil dnro not vote for the contract after the prcts nnd nine out of ten of the people have condemned It , If they do , It means sure political death. " Mr. Munro Inquired of Assistant Attor ney Cornish whether , In his Judgment , a contract of that kind was not a franchise. Mr. Cornish begged to bo excused from an swering in view of the fact that Mr. Conncll had already given the council an opinion on that matter , Mr. Munro stated that with Mr , Cornish ho had looked the matter up and found that such a contract came under the term fran chise In the law dictionary. Ho { minted out other defects In the contract , In line with the objections M.ij'or Dotnis urged. llnncntl'i. Verbal I'lrannrks , Mr. Hascall replied to Mr. Munro. His remarks wcro moro of a personal nature. Ho championed the contract apiiin and said that If It was not accepted the city uotild have no means of disposing of Its garbage and that the streets and alloys would become Illthy and unsanitary. Ho contended Dial the contract was perfectly peed In o\ery particular , nnd Its terms could bo enforced , or It could bo abrogated nnd the city would bo protected by what ho termed "groat bonds. " Mr. Wheeler moved the previous question and It was put The vote to sOstaln the vote of the major resulted as follows : Ayes- Kls.ibsur , .lacobsen , Munro , Nays Hack , Urutier , Kdwnrds , Hascall , McAndruws , Me- 1/earlo , Parker , 1'rlnco , Specnt , Steel , Thomas , Wheeler , Uuchcl , Ordinance * Introduced. Ordinances were Introduced providing for the Issuing of Intersection paving and sewer bonds to the amount of $100,000 each. The old ordinances wore repealed nnd the now ones provldo that the bonds shall bear C pur cent instead of Hf per cent interest.

An elTort was made to approve of several contracts for paving submitted by the IJoard of 1'ublic Works. Some of these wcro Included in the board Injunction suit and It was thought best to refer them to the assistant city attorney to set the council right at the next meeting as to the legal complications that might arise.

DOXECKEN MAKES A DENIAL i Another Chapter in the Kensational Suicide of Hattie Aldrich. STATEMENTS MADE BY FATHER AND. SON llnttlo'n Mntlioi * In I'oor I'unerM of llin lrn < | ( llrl Wilt Ho I'uld \ > r 1'opulnr Subscription Morbid , Curiosity of Ulrla. A. H. Donccken , the father of Frank Donecken , the j-oting man who has been thrust Into unenviable prominence by the suicide of Hattie Aldrich , called at Tun BKK oftlcc last evening nn 1 made the following statement : "I was not at the morgue to view the re mains of Hattie Aldrioh as stated in the World-Herald. I know nothing of my son's nssdv'lations with this woman until Sunday afternoon , when a friend of Frank's called at the house and told mo of this young woman , and advised mo to put her under ar rest , as she would surely fulfill her vow to kill both my son and herself. "It is surely an unfortunate affair and both myself and family feel the disgrace very keenly. Hilt from all I can learn the ijlrl has made my son's life almost unbenr- a bio by her mad infatuation for htm. Hut as for his not making his appearance in pub lic yet , that Is false. Ho has been at my oftlco d'tiljHo did not ire to the morgue to view this unfortunate woman's remains at inv request. I asked him not to do so. "Mrs. Aldrich sent to mj1 oflleo this morn ing and sttd : she wanted to see Frank and myself nt the morgue. 1. sent her word wo did not wish to como there , but wo both would sco her nt my olllco or residence and if she nad anything to say wo would bo glad to sco her at either place. She failed ' .o come , howcVcr. In reply to a certain Mrs. Mock's allusions to my son's ' drinking the assertion is false. " Tr.iiik DniKickpii's Story. Frank A. Donccken has prepared a lengthy statement for publication. Space forbids ex tended mention , Thu substance of his asser tions is a defense of the chiirgo that ho was rc.iponslblo for the girl's downfall and ho repudiates the statement that ho lured her from her Iowa homo. In the communication j'oung Doneckcn says that ho earnestly endeavored to treat Hattie right , but upon ascertaining that she was not tiuo to him ho suggested discontinuance of their love. Ho says ho could not rid himself of her ; that she persistently annoyed him ; that she threatened suicide repeatedly and made a former attempt ; ho shuddered at the disgrace - grace that her suicide would bring upon his parents and for that reason continued going with her. Doneckcn says that ho quarreled with her last Sunday , but did not strike bur. Ho accuses her of Insane Jealousj' and says she threatened to kill him on several occa sions , Italilnc a Subscription. The remains of Hattie Aldrich were taken back to her homo in Muplelon , la. , bjr her mother yesterdaj' , Another largo crowd visited the morgue in the morning to view the remains. Several ladies , after learning that the mother of the girl was in indigent circumstances , started a subscription to pay the funeral expenses of the unfortunate girl. People readily con tributed and a suftlcicnt sum will soon bo raised. 1 ho discovery of a similinrity of portions of the girl's letter with certain parts of Haggard's Uentrieo leads tea , great demand for the novel at the libraries and book stoics. The people who wished to see the book wore , in most instances , j'oung ladies of a romantic turn of mind. Foiv suicides have excited so much sympathy and comment as has this ono. In view of what Hood's ' Sarsaparilla ha done tor others , is it not reasonable to bo ieve that it will also bo of bcncllt to j-ou. Ames moved to NU7 Furnain. Balloon , Courtland beach tonight.

"I" haVe Just returned from n trip out to the poor farm , " said Dr. U. M. S.tono yester day afternoon , .t'and I saw something there ; hat wasvan > unpleasant surprise. Do j'ou enow that the countj-commissioners do not provide a yard of screen for the windows of that institution i Well , it Is a fact that they do not , and the sccno about the tables at meal time Is most disgraceful. The smell of tlio food attracts Hies by the million , and everything on the tables is covered with the inseots. Thoj' cover the huttcr and become - como very much attached to it ; they swarm in the soup , and the half-idiotic old reople , of whom there nro necessarily a number in such an institution , apparently take no no tice of them. It is a sight that is almost as much as a person of ordinary powers can stand. It Is a burning shame nnd disgrace that such a state of affairs should bo toler ated. This county Is altogether too rich for such shameful peiiuriousness to bo indulged in , oven toward the paupers who arc the charges of the county. The couutj' commis sioners are ulono to blame for it. The su perintendent would put up screens If the commissioners would furnish them , hut they arc not provided for him to sot in place. Whether the commissioners have an idea that thej- are retrenching , or whether this matter has escaped their attention 1 do not know , but I do know that something ought to bo done , and at once , to prevent a repe tition of the sight I witnessed today.
