DOWN WITH THE DIG LOAF
Mayor Thoorrht It , Jtnbhlnjt Scheme nnd
10 ; IUd time Council
The much talked of bread ordlnnnce met nn
easy death at the council meeting held Tuesday -
lay night. The ordinance was fatheTed by
Councilman Holmes and was paased at the
meeting held Cln January 29 , after which It
went to the mayor
This ordinanCe provIded that It should be
unlawful for any person to expose for sale a
leaf of bread weighing lees than twenty-fuur
ou nces.
Tuesday night the ordinance was returned
to the council , and with It there was a veto ,
In which Mayor Bemis said : ' "I regard this
'ordinance as the mest vIcious piece of legislation -
tlon whIch has been enacted In this city for
yeare. Ills nothing more nor less than an at.
tempt to make the city n. party to the most
outrageous scheme to rob the laboring classes
which has yet come to my notice , and I am
constraIned to believe that the counclmen : who
voted for the passage 1 or this ordinance did so
without n full underlltanlllng or Its errect.
"To state the case briefly , the Immedlale
antI permanent effect of thh ordinance will b ;
to increase time price of bread to all cnJUn1Er
\s the ordinance now stands , bakers : arc a -
lowed to make n loaf of bread weighing not
lemma than sixteen ounces. tl has become customary -
tomary to make single anl\ \ dOuble , loaves ,
welghng : ono and two pounds respectively
Those single . one.pound loaves are sold In a ,
large number of stores at different poInts In i
time city for 2 cents each. The crdlnance pro-
poses to allow only one 9'ZO oC loaf : to be made ,
containing one and one-half pounds , and for
this It Is proposed to charge 5 cents , a clear
Increase of 66 % per cent In prce- :
"Il m hnll i been ureeti that there are cnlv a
few ' stores I which sell two single loaves for G
cents or less. I have Informat'on In my possession -
session which proves that there are over fifty
stores In this city where bread Is sold for this
price : but even If there was only one store I
Ehellhl denounce as vicious any legislation !
which proposed to prevent the people from
buying their bread at the lowest obtainable
price.
"I need not refer to the tact that these are
serIous times anti that the pennies must be
carefully looked aCter. It Is time duty of the
mayor and council to protect , In all possible
ways , . the maese of the people from time
rapacity of ' \ few greedy corporations or Indl-
\'Iduals. The enactment of thIs ordinance
means the creation of a trust which would
be as burdensome upon the pepe : ss the sugar
trust or the hard coal trust.
"I am In favor of allowing bread to be made
In all sizes , Including one-pound , cne and one-
halt-pound and two-pound loaves , or smaller ,
It the trade demands It , but I am not In favor
ot compellng : a. family which requ'res only ono
pound of bread to satlsty Its needs to buy a
pound antI a halt , thus compelling It to cat
stale bread or throwaway the surp'us , In crier
to gratify the selfish desires of a few of the
large ba kers.
"One of the effects of this ordinance will
be to throw the numerous small balconies en-
tirely out of business ! , as several ofthem . have , ,
represented to me that time change of pans required -
quired , In order to make a twenty-four-ounc ! !
loaf , will cost each of them In the neighbor-
hood of $125 , whIch they cannot afford at this
lime. As there arc about fifty ot these small
bakeries In the city , the object of theoo large
concerns In forcing them out of the business
Is readily seen. "
The roll beIng called , all of the members
voted to sustain the veto.

ON A NEW PLAN .
,
'Burkloy Would PlacoClty Employes Under
CIvII2ervico Rules
The resolution that was introduced at the
last meeting of the city council by Howell ,
Durkley and Mercer contemplating the . dIs-
mIssal of seventeen clerks In the ' city hall
and an additIonal reduction of salarIes Is
the cause of some uneasiness among the em-
ployes whose salaries ' are menaced by the
measure. It Is claimdd by the supporters
of the resolution that the city Is payIng -
Ing decIdedly better salarIes than other corporations -
pomtlons and that In view of the necessity
for retrenchment It Is Imperative that at
least a part of the excess should bo wiped
out.
Councilman Durkley has made a careful
Investigation of the comparative average sal-
arIes paid by the city and those paid In the
offices of leading corporations .He finds
that In one of the packing houses In South
Omaha the average of the salarIes , paid ! Is
less than $11i , while In one of the leading na-
tional banks of this city It Is $60 and In one
of time railroad headquarters the average Is
$68 per month. These are all considerably
less than that paid by time city , where the
average Is $9G.11. In this connection Mr.
Durldey says that he Is disposed to give full
weight to time claims of time city employes
that they labor under some disadvantages
which partially offset the difference In sal-
nrles. They have to be continually subject.
to demands upon their purses which mire I not
met by the employes of other ' corporations ,
and mme matter how valuable their services
may be they have mo prospect of promotion
But time difference as shown by the 'ligures
submitted Is so marked' ' that In his opinion
It would ho possible to retrench to some degree -
gree amid . still leave the city employes as well
paid as the employes of other corporations , all
things being conlldered.
Since time resolution was Introduced there
has been a good deal of talk around time city
hall as to the advisability of securing some
leglslatlve ( enactment whIch would
place , . . the cty : , offices under at
least' a partiaL civil service rule.
II lIS urged that In this' manner better
service would bo secured and that tile em-
ployes would bo liberated from the present
numerous demands upan their salaries by
way of assessments for campaign and other
purpos It would also offer some reward
for lclent and faithful service , and that
being tIme case some reduction mIght fairly
bo made and still leave the clerks liS well off
as they are under the present system
Mr. Durkley says that he Is disposed to
believe that &uch a plan would bo productive
of good result It would lend to take the
offices out of politics and avoid the tangles
that are Induced by the biennial change In
the ersonnel of time employes. The only
trouble would bo that seine of time officials ,
for instance the treasurer , might very properly , -
erly object to being responsible for time safe
handling of funds when he was not allowed
to select the men who were to have charge
of hem. This objection could be remedied
either by making limo appointment of em-
ployes who have the handling of funds ex-
coptlons to time civil service rule or by , reo-
lIevlng time head of the department of' , the
responslbllIly for their actions and milking
them directly responsible to the city coun-
cil. Mr. Ullrkley say that the civil service
luau Is bound to come In time , as Its success -
cess In national departments wlll commend
It to city and county go\'ernmenl

A decillor was rohdlred by the supreme
court yesterday whlch.1lI : . . draw out of the
treasury of the countr.between $200,000 and
$250,000 In cold C1llh. : In return for this sum
of money the county ; 'wUl have the structure
known as the count7hOlpltal , and fifty acres
of neighboring land.
The decision ends tile contest which grew
out of the selling. of . . portion of the poor
farm lots In 1881. rbo"declslon ! " 18 adverse
to the county and amrms time decision Clf time
lower courts.
In 188G the county owned time northeast
quarter of section 29 , township Iii , range 13.
On August 13 of that year time Board of
County Commissioners decided to submit n
proposition to- the voters of Douglas county ,
provllling for the sale of fifty acres of the
.northeast Portion I of this plat of land , and
with the proceeds to erect a hospital on tIme
remaining portion Time proposition was sub-
mitted at the election on November 2 and
received 2,930 votes out of 3,691 cast on the
proposlUon. There was a total vote of 9,304
poll (1 at the election.
Time county commissioners considered the
preposition carried nnll In February or thc
following year laid ! out tIme land Into what Is
known as Douglas addition to the city of
Omaha antI proceeded to sell the lots This
"as during the boom and a good : portion of
the lots were sold and good prIces recelvcd
A large number of the purchasers paid un thc
Installment plan , altogether , the county receiving -
celvlng In the neighborhood of $250,000.
This was expended In the erection of time
immediately set to work In uloviss sorno' nlnn
n - - . . - - nm _ " - "
present county hospital . 0"I I
After the boolP subsided the property depredated -
predated In value and the purchasers 1m-
by which they might got their mooney bacl
It Was IInally clalrned that the county had
no legal right to seU time land , that the
sale was Invalid and that the deeds could not
consequently convey title of time land to
the purchasers. The ground on which these
claims were based was that thc proposition
for limo solo of the land as submitted to
the voters of time county did not receive two-
thirds of time total number of votes cast at
the election , as provided by law , nllhough
It did receive two-thlrlls of the number of
votes cast upon the proposition.
On April 10. 1692. Judge Doane and Charles
n Keller , who had purchased three ot the .
lots , brought this condition of affairs before '
the county commissioners , antI demanded
that the county take back the lots allll re-
urn the mouey paid for thelll. On May 16
the boarrl rerummed to comply with time demand -
mand , and tIme case was appealell to the district -
trict court The case was tried before JUdges
Davis and Irving and lasted five days , thc
outgoing county attorney , T. J. Mahone ,
appearIng for the county during the first
two days , and time Incoming county attorney ,
J. II. Haley the last three days. The case was
fought hard by both sides , but In the latter
part of May a decision was rendered against
the county. The plaintiffs were awarded
Judgment for the price paid for the lots , with
interest Judge Davis 'read ' the opiniomi
which was concurred In by Judge Irving.
The county immediately appeal the : ! case
to time supreme court , , where It has been until
yesterday.
After thc decision of the district court ,
imowover the county commIssioners virtually
conceded ! that the sale lof ' the lan was illegal -
legal , and Immediately meet about a plan ' to
snake It legal. On July 16 , 1892 , a special
election ' was held , at which the question ' was
resubmitted to the voters to ratify , time ac-
Uon of the county commissioners in making
tIme sale ; ' The result of the election ratified
their lactlon , and this was the ground of
their argument before the supreme court.
The plaintiffs , on the tether hand claimed
, thllt the statutes did not give any authority
for the ratification and If they did , the
ratlOcatlonr.should fimave been at . a general
and not at a special election. In affirming
the decision of time , lower court the supreme
court held that the 'findings were good.
There were n. large 'number of suits of
the same nature pending , but. none of them
wer ' carried to the hlgher court , a stipula-
tion having been' mnd _ ' withlthC CI1Untrthat
In alI , of the cases It 'Would abide \iy the
decision of the supreme cOuTt. 'The' proba-
bility 1s that the purchasers who have not
brought suit will now come forward to recover - i
: cover : ! their money. Even those who made
only partial payments on their lots , and
then allowed the land to revert ' to the
county , arelexpectell : to demand.the-relurn of
their payments Altogether the , county' will
b3 compelled to reimburse the purchasers , to
the extent of over 200000.
