Nays Bach , Heche ) , Druncr , Utirkley , Edwards , Jacohscn , Saunders , Speclit , Thomas , Wheeler 10. 10.A communication from. Plumbing Inspector Duncan was for the purpose of preferring charges against Commissioner of Health Sa- vlHc. The complainant averred that tlio commissioner had gene contrary to the orders of the Hoard of Health In laying off Sanitary Inspectors Smith , Albrccht and Lanclergren , after the board had refused to order such action , A Bocond charge was that the com missioner had assumed to act for the board In court and In giving evl- tlonco before Judge KergUHon ho had Bald that the reason that he did not vote for a certain resolution passed by the board was because he thought It conflicted with the order of the court , thus bringing the board Into apparent contempt of court nnd casting a slur on the majority , who had voted for the resolution. Duncan also charged that the commissioner had maliciously changed the records of tl o meeting of July 8. The communication was referred to a tpcclal committee , consisting of licchel , Elsasscr and Saunders. A communication from Comtrollcr Olson notified the council that there was $14,208.35 due the city ! rom 'the county on the road fund , which should ba collected. Referred. The appointment of John 1 > . Hansen as Janitor In the city hall was confirmed. The bond of Victor B. Ilosewater as a member of the library board , with Henry Tundt and Curtis E. Turner as sureties , was approved. Two petitions for paving Corby street from Sherman avenue to Twentieth street wore referred to the committee on pav ing , curbing and guttering. One demanded sheet asphaltum and the other vitrified prick. In connection with these petitions Wheeler filed the affidavit of a woman who claimed that Councilman T. C. Uruner had Oomo to see her In the Interests of vitrified brick arid made false representations to her | n order to Induce her to add her signature to a petition for that material. The finance committee , to which was re ferred the bills of Sanitary Inspectors Smith , Albrecht and Landergren for tho. month of June , reported with a resolution that the Doard of Health be directed to discharge all Inspectors and hereafter to employ only such a number as the funds would allow , and send the names to the council for con firmation. Ilurklcy explained that the board- seemed unable to agree as to what Inspec tors should be hid off , and If the council did not take tome action the fund would BOOH be exhausted. < Wheeler took the opportunity to assort that the whole board ought to be Impeached , as the members seemed entirely Incapable of conducting the business. Several mem bers objected to the last clau'e of the reso lution on tlio ground that the council had nothing to do with the confirmation of the employes pf the' board. Uruner resented Wheeler's remarks ] oiuK laid thp blame on the shoulders of tlio commissioners. The resolution was adopted after the confirmation clause Jm'd been' stricken out. The committee on Judiciary recommended that the appointment of Victor E. Bender as a. member of the library board to suc ceed William Wallace bo not confirmed.- This was on the ground that Mr. Wallace was an old and valuable member of the- board , and should not bd displaced. "The committee report was adopted nnd the ap pointment rejected. HASCALL WAS NOT READY. Calm and 'Holmes of the same committee presented a majority report recommedlng- ' that the appointment of Edward P. Bchurig as city electrician bo confirmed. Wheeler remarked that the council could not aot on any' papers not In the hands of the council , and at , this Juncture llascall opportunely discovered that ho had left the papers ut home. Calm wanted to know how long the council would liavo to wait for llascall to produce i\\o \ \ appointment , which he had had jn his possession for more than thirty days. llascall couldn't see why people wanted to bo continually agitating this matter. Thpy had a man performing the duties of the office In a manner entirely satisfactory to himself and nothing was gained by culling the matter up. Thereupon the Wlloy coun- cllincn voted to recommit the report. 4Tho most sensational debate of the session occurred on the reports of the special com- mlttoo appointed to investigate the affairs of the city electrician , In accordance with a resolution by Itcchel which was passed at a previous meeting. The majority report was signed by Calm and Ilurkloy and stated that the accounts of the ofilco had been loosely kept. They recom mended that the "books and blanks de sired by the present acting electri cian bo provided. Dcchel presented a minority report , In which ho accused Mr. Oowglll of gross neglect. The report was couched In language that reflected the bit terness felt'ln certain quarters toward this Official and was accompanied by a resolu tion providing for the appointment of an assistant to Mr. lUie'um at a salary of fSO a month. It was statdd that fees enough Could bo collected for Inspections and stir- Veys to make the ofilco self-supporting. llechcl took the lloor , with considerable warmth , and , pointing his finger at Calm , asked him If ho denied any statement that \vas made In the minority report. Calm replied that ho was not there to discuss Ucchel's report , but his own , "Then you arc a coward , " shouted Dcchel , but Calm retained his composure and sim ply moved the adoption of the majority re port.Wheeler Wheeler Improved the occasion to express his feelings with regard to Mr. Cowglll and Incidentally took occasion to declare that he had been misrepresented by the press , Howell said that ho had Investigated tlio affairs of the- office for himself and was con vinced that they had been carelessly admin- . Istcred. Because ho had acted up to his convictions he had been accused of a charter membership In the Wiley combine , which charge he resented as an Insult. Ilurkley said that the majority report had gone Just as far as the facts warranted. It had Btated that the accounts of the office had been loosely kept , but there was abso lutely nothing on which to base the extrava gant charges which composed the minority report. Calm substantially endorsed this statement and on the vote the minority re port was adopted. The resolution providing for the electrical assistant was also adopted , tnost of the members taking occasion to say that they voted for the resolution on account of the representation that the office could bo made xelf-supportlng by this action. A reiolutlon by Blsasscr that the judiciary committee be directed to report on the jchurlg appointment at the next meeting a * withdrawn , as It was In evidence that the Wiley contingent would be united In Toting It down. _ Are Voa Golnc to Travel ?

SHOWS THEM TO BE WITHOUT FOUNDATION Itcnult of Coniiricy : Which Will Hi ) Itetcnlcil ut thu lIciirliiK U'hlvh Ho llciiiiiiul * Without lloluy lo- HIM oniclul Acts. , The answer of Mayor George P , Bemls to the petition of Isaac S. llascall and Daniel H. Wheeler , alleging official misconduct , wil ful neglect of duty as mayor of the city of Omaha and misdemeanors as such officer and malfeasance In olllce , wai filed with the cferk of the district court last night. In connection with this answer the mayor serves notice upon llascall and Wheeler that at 9:30 : o'clock next Friday morning he will appear before Judge Keysor of the district court , where ho will demand an Immediate hearing on the charges nnd specifications. The complainants arc also notified that nt that time they must be on hand with the proof la siutaln the charges ns filed. In this connection the mayor Informs Hascall and Wheeler that If he Is guilty ho should not be permitted to hold the office for an other month , another week , or even an other day. If he Is guilty as charged he says that he has no desire to continue In the office to which he was elected , and for this reason he demands that the two coun- cllmen bo In court at the appointed time with their witnesses and prepared with the proof to substantiate the charges as made. In answering the specifications and charges the mayor admits that he Is the executive officer of the city of Omaha and that as such officer he is serving on his second term , which second term commenced on January 2 , 1891. He admits' that Is a member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners nnd that by virtue of his office as mayor of the city of Omaha ho Is the chairman of that body. He admits that ho voted against the Strlckler gambling resolution , thus laying It upon the table for future action , In doing this ho denies that he acted against the best Interests of the city and for the purpose of preventing the enforcement of the laws against the keepers of gambling houses that were being operated In the city. Ho denies that by reason of this or any other vote he has been guilty of official misconduct by ob structing or preventing the enforcement of the ordinances against the gamblers , or the keeping of gambling houses. On the con trary , ho alleges that he acted and voted with an honest Intent and with n desire and Intention to properly and faithfully discharge his official duties and to cause the best and most efficient enforcement of the laws , there by securing the best results possible In main taining the city as an orderly and well gov erned municipality. In support of the stand taken the mayor cites the portions of his Inaugural message In which he advised the city councjl upon the subject of gambling and other vices , urging that they be brought within the pale of the law and that they be treated precisely as provided for by the or dinances of the city and the laws of the state. state.HAD HAD AUTHORITY TO AID KELLY. Answering the Ha&all and Wheeler charges , wherein they charge that the mayor used public funds for the relief of the Kelly army of Commonwealers , Mayor Bemls sets out the entire proceedings had In the premises , showing that at the time of the arrival of the men In this city they were In a starving condition , without em ployment , without food and without means to buy the same. He also shows that at the time most of the members of the council , llascall and Wheeler Included , were off , out of the city on a junketing and pleasure trip , which had been arranged for by llascall and Wheeler , to cover the expense of which Mas- call had raised a fund by securing pledges and payments from S. L. Wiley of the elec tric light company and other persons and corporations doing business with the city. At the time of the purchase of the Kelly sup plies the mayor shows mat ho consulted with all of the city officials who were In Omaha and that , as such officials , they authorized him to expend , public funds to the extent of not to exceed $300 , they agree ing to ratify the action which ho might take. With this understanding and agree ment the mayor purchased supplies to the amount of $286.CO , and "at the first meeting of the council after the return of the mern- bors from their Jaunt , the bills were Incor porated In the appropriation ordinance , which was passed , only Hascall and Wheeler voting ing In opposition. In doing this the mayor alleges that he acted In good faith and for the best interests of the city , a course and practice which was adopted and followed by other cities through which the Kellyltes afterwards passed. Regarding the matter of the electrician , the mayor cites the appointment of M. J. Cowglll and the mailner In which the coun cil coquetted with thex"same , alleging that by reason of the honesty and efficiency of the man and the failure of the Thomson-Houston Electric Light company to use nnd manip ulate him , a conspiracy was formed and handled by Wiley , with the result that , aided and abetted by Hascall and Wheeler , the appointment was hung up and L. M. Jtheem placed In power , without any authority of law. This cojirse , the mayor alleges , was adopted by Hascall and Wheeler that they might bo enabled to secure the appointment of an. electrician who would report favorably upon the bills of Wiley , to the detriment and Injury of the city. Right In this connection the mayor alleges that Wiley had a $15,000 bill In the council which was excessive and fraudulent. He then cites the fact that af terwards he named E. F. Schurlg , a com- peterit man , for the position of ; electrician , but that Instead of confirming the appoint ment Itvuu referred to the committee on judlclary , ° 'of which llascall Is and has been the chairman. SALE OF BEMIS PARK. The Hernia park clause In the specifications charges that the mayor was guilty of mal feasance. With reference to this , ho al leges In his answer that 1)19 ) Bemls Park company has been In existence far a number of years and that during all of the time ho has been one of the stockholders. The af fairs of the company , ho alleged , have been managed by a board of directors , having a president , secretary and n corporate seal. In May , 1800 , prior to the time of his elec tion to the office of mayor , the city ex pressed a desire to purchase the Bomls park tract for city park purposes , and that during the fol lowing November , prior to his election , the city voted bonds to purchase this par ticular tract , all of the ordinances pertaining to the matter being signed by R. C. Cushlng , who at that time wan the mayor of the city of Omaha , In this master the mayor shows that all of the proceedings In the premises were had prior to the time when ha became on officer of the city , and that for this reason he could have had nothing to do In an official way with the purchase of the land or the disposition of the park bond fund. In conclusion the mayor avers that the charges and specifications are without cause and are filed as the result of a combination and conspiracy , which will be made more ap parent when a full and complete hearing can bo had on all of the material points at Issue. Omaha's great resort Courtland Beach. Object to the Dump , The city U threatened with another In junction suit which Interested parties have declared they will bring U the present Inten tion of locating * a , garbage dump at the foot of Poppleton aniline Is carried out. Sonic time ago a lonroipe tjtlon was presented to the mayor asking ihnli the dump be located at that point nniluftcr a long conflict between differing factions of the board this step was taken. Now trfher property owners have written to mcraberi of the board protesting agalntt the location and T. J. Lowry gives notice that If thq present plan Is persisted In ho will go Into the courts to prevent the city from dumping iftrbage at that point. CIIK.Il' rOHWIt , l.VFAOTOIttKS. . OMAHA , July 10. To the Editor of The Bee : In discussing tlio cnnnl proposition a nnrrow nnd retrograde policy la Indicated fop this city by saying "thero nro no factories that would be benefited by the proposed cheap power , " or "that con ditions are such Hint factories will not be built , " or "that the clicnp power produced IB no Incentive to construction. " nnd "that the clnss of factories that It Is claimed can bo secured will employ but n small amount of labor In their operation. " It Is self-evident that Omaha to become n lending city must have population ; that population cannot be centralized unle-ss em ployment can bo secured , nnd that employ ment can only bo secured for n largo popu lation through factories. Power Is one of the large Items of cx- psnso lit operating factories , Competition Is so strong nnd margins of profit so small that clicnp power must be nn Inducement to the Invtstor seeking n location. There fore , to the extent tlmt this city Is handi capped by competitors by cheaper power , she must be nt a dlsndvantage In future growth. Steam coal costs at least 40 per cent less In St. Joseph , Lcavemvorth or Kansas City than at Omaha , malclng our weakness appar ent. ent.Wo have a better distributing territory than other Missouri river cities for many reasons , and If the disability In the respect of power be overcome they will be outclassed by Omaha In life contest for commercial supremacy. These are plain , simple truths that a Wayfaring man must see and admit. The statement that a certain clnss of factories , particularly applicable to Omaha , based on the surrounding favorable condi tions would employ but little labor , Is not sustained by the facts. The truth Is the factories referred to carry with them a large population. For example : First n paper mill to make straw , board and build ing papers , cost $75,000 , capacity of output twenty-five tons daily , would require 500- horae power and employ In the mill 100 people and consume forty tons of crude material , and require fifty teams constantly to haul straw within a radius of twenty miles , 'Such a mill would supply the trade of the city and towns tributary thereto with building papers , also would be the basis of an egg case factory employing 100 to 200 hands to put straw board fillers together. Hundreds of cars of these fillers are shipped to Omaha annually from as far cast ns Ohio. Again , It would make cheap straw board for box factories , nml cheap boxes are an Inducement for other factories to locate here , as thyse boxes are a large Item of expense to manufacturers of such articles as starch , oat meal and other cereal goods. Factories are thus p community of Inter ests depending on e ch other. A paper mill ru-is twenty-four hours per day. If the tanner raises rye , the straw at the mill brings $ G per acre , equal to the value of the wheat raised on an acre at this time. Straw raised Uinow mostly wasted , therefore such a factory ris n benefit to the farmer. The difference between the present cost of operating such a paper mill and the cost If furnished by the canal power company would be equal to 15 per gent on the Investment. From a labon standpoint the proposed pa per mill Is certainly desirable as directly and Indirectly it would give employment to 500 people at least. Second , a beet sugar factory with a dally capacity of SOOntoos , runj 120 days , twenty- four hours per' ' day , employs 250 persons , uses 400-horse power and has a capacity for 0,000 acres of nbeets and employs several hundred people nine months In plowing , weeding and ptilllng the beets , distributes ? 225,000 each season among farmers and fur nishes 20,000tons of cheap feed for cattle , and enhances" this value , of .land. Several sugar factories Jocated sufficiently nenr Omaha' ' to "use the power of the canal would result In a sugar refinery In this city tha would requ ro a large force of men during the entire year. > These are reasonable possibilities , because they ara practical , simply meaning the use of the forces nature has given to build up a great city at this point. It must be plait that sugar factories will eventually be bu It at Omaha , nnd that thousands of people as a consequence will be given employment In this city and county. In the building of these factories power is a largo Item of ex panse , hence the cheaper the power the sooner wo will secure them. Third , a gluco e factory now negotiating ! for locating here , runs every day In the year , twenty-four hours per day , employs 1,000 men , with a consequent population of 0,000 people , and requires power to elevate 30,000 bushels of corn twelve stories high , and grind the same. Such a plant.would make a homo market for- sixty cars of corn per day. An active grain exchange would follow in this city ; elevators for storing nnd handling grain would be constructed ; syrup refineries would follow ; tin can , box and barrel fac tories , as evidenced In the factory now operating in this city , nnd making manufac tured goods from glucose , tin cans and boxes and employing several hundred people. In a similar manner a largo number of other Industries could be discussed , all show ing that the consumption of the available crude material mostly raised by the farmers In this vicinity would employ thousands of people continually. This Is shown In the cereal and starch mills at Nebraska City , that are consuming 6,000 cars of grain an- nu.nlly , and are employing a large force of people In the mills , box factory and else where. The construction of the canal and consequent quent building of factories Is of equal Im portance to the farmers of this county and citizens of Omaha. It not only means a homo market fop all products sold by them , but also a lower price for manufactured goods purchased , such as wearing apparel , food supply , Implements , furniture and building material. There can be no ques tion about the demand for the canal , or Its utility when built. The only question Is how to build It as quickly as poailble. _ J. E , UTT.
