This was the first document to be referred - ferred to the new council. The contract and , bond of Noah Perry for furnishing sewer pipe during 18J5 ! was also referred.

This was referred to the judiciary committee . with Instructions to report at the next meet- Ing. Ing.The ' The report of the Board of Equalization on plans of assessment remaining In the hands of the council recommended that the plan at assessment for opening Thirteenth street from the alley north of Nicholas street to the south line of Paddock Place be rejected on account of an error In the report of the IIppralsers.

The Doard of Fire and p'ollee Commis- sioners held a secret meeting yesterday , I t ; . ami when the members came opt It" was announced - nounced that they had done nothing. Com- . missioner Smith was unable to be present. Jt was learned that the members hall agreed upon some things connected with the appoint- mont at a new fire chief to succeed J. J. . Galligan. They have agreed on appointing n . now chief within the next few days probably . at their regular meeting on Monday evening , and It docs not seem at all IIIlely that that man will bo a resident of Omaha.

Haiti Out. Before another day rolls around there will be change In the management at the county . atore at Eighteenth and St Mary's avenue : , For some time the county commissioners have been distributing their supplies for the S relief at the outside poor tram the store 110use. and have been very much pleased . with ! I , . . the results claiming that they have effected . _ _ III very considerable saving over tile old plan. l.ecently cOllllllalnts have been made that the . .worl at the store keeper has not been In acCordance - torllancetth the claims and orders at the . bounty board. . ( . ' _ _ , _ .w , y I It hars bceu the cuslom ot the COmmlhlonera . : to pay the inca who were working on the : , .tounty . roads with orders , for supplies on thQ ttunty slore. Severlll cOtnplnlnts have been \ . tnado" that the supplies w ro given out on .cales that gave the customer very much thD " , 'out or the bargain. Men who have bten QrltJDg on the roads ! . have taken the goods . w'wt received at the county store and ] have had them weighed ] on other scales and almost invariably - variably found Ibem short weight. Complaint - plaint was made to the commissioners , but they placed ] little confidence In the report . of short weight , chiefly for the reason that there coulll bo nothing gained by short weighIng - Ing on goods that were being given away by the county. Thurs- day , however , the commIssIoners received - ceived a complaint tram n man who had received several 110 lars' worth ot supplies from the county store. They took the goods and hall them weighed and found them short I from 10 to 25 per cent An investigation I was at once commenced , and the discovery made that Agent Currier , at the county store , hall been systematically giving short weights to patrons of the place , for the pur- pose , he said , or making the goods hold out and making up for shortages and shrinkages In weight that Is unavoidable feature ot loss In the handling at nearly all classes of groceries and provisions. The commissioners were very much dls- pleasel with the discover , and at an informal - formal meeting tlecilletl to at once place an- other man In charge ot the county store. No charge of dishonesty Is made against Agent Currier , and In fact there would be no chance for him to profil by the system I which has been allopted by him In the store. The commissioners Imply do not want to continue the system , or condone the \1S0 of Il In the past. It has nol yet been decided or announced , at east ] , who will succeed Mr. Currier. Other charges have been made to the effect that the county has been giving short weight In the matter of coal delivered to the poor , anti the commissioners have lecll1e1\ to meet on tim day after ChrIstmas to enter upon a full Investigation ot the charges In this respect. Inspector \\'hlto has examined the scales used by the county agent In weighing out coal and various other supplies and finds that there Is a material discount In favor of the county. . The scales ! do not balance by thirty pounds , and the difference Is against : the customer. As most of the coal weighed out Is lu small quantities , the varia- tion of thirty pounds on each lot amounts to a big 11er centage. After cleaning up the scales It was found that there was still ten pounds variation ntul the inspector will see that the scales arc made to balance here- after. .
