8 TILE OMAHA DAILY BEE , WEDNESDAY , JUNE 5 , 1895. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS TmmecHato Eopair of the Sixteenth Street Viaduct is Agreed On ! DELAY IN ELLV NTH STREET BUDGE CASE Dutch of Vetoes for the Bnko of Economy TraniinUteil nnd Hc cral Ovcrrlddon No Aniliulnnco to He nought Hubntltuto lllcjcle Ordinance. U took the city council last evening an hour And a half to dispose of a number of vetoes by the mayor. Many of Ihcm were In line with Iho mayor's expressed Inlcnllon lo check expenses as much as passible , and In nearly every Inslanco Iho altcntlon of the council was called to the necessity of more care In expenditures , In view of the probable deficit. In communicating his disapproval of the concurrent resolution looking to the Imme diate repair of the Elcvcnlh street and Six tccnth slreet viaducts the mayor said. I relurn herewllh wllhoul my approval n concurienl rcsolullon ordering Hie Hoard of Public Works lo repair Iho Eleventh street and the Sixteenth atnel viaducts and to notify the railroad companies of the In tention of the clt > lo repair said viaducts , olo. , for Ihu tuafcon that the preliminary steps necessary under the ch.irtei to hold the railroad companies responsible for mak ing such repairs or lo authorize a levy to cover such cost have not been taken. I nlio veto this resolution for the addl tlonal reason that theic Is no limitation as to the cost of the repairs which Iho city might make under this it-solution , nnd that by making the repairs on the K'eventh Btreet viaduct , which will cost , as estimated by the engineering department of the city , nbout Iho sum of $11,000 , Iho pending suit between the city and the 11 & M. llallroad company would be disposed of vvlthoul reaching u llnal delermlnatlon by Ihe su preme court. It Is very Importnnl that the rlghlB of Ihe city and the duties of the railroad compinles regarding the construc tion of vlaductH should bo determined by the supreme court. I am advised by the city attorney Unit the case referred to , which has already been decided In favor of the city by Judge Ambrose , will be dock eted In the supreme court within a week , nnd thai II Is expected the cau e will be advanced so Unit n hearing and final de cision may bo reached within u few weeks In view of Iheso legal proceedings , which nro now pending , 1 think It would bo ex- trcmoly unwise to take the action proposed by this resolution I am much In favoi of causing repairs to be made to the Elev enth street viaduct , as well as to the Six teenth sticet viaduct , at the earliest tlmo practicable. I iccognlzo thai Iho properly owners und Ihe traveling public uru en titled to have these repairs made ut the earliest tlmo possible , and so far as Ihe Ulovcnth slreet viaduct IH Concerned the repairs should have been made a long tlmo ngo. At the same tlmo , In view of the situation as U exists and the legal proceed ings to which reference Is made , I think U would bo wise , for Ihe present at least , to tuko no action wilh reference to the Elev enth Direct viaduct , by reaton of the largo amount of cost necessary to make the re pairs , as well as by icason of the pending suit , which It Is of the utmost Importance to the city to have finally determined. COUNCIL CONCURS. Before dlspos ng of Ihe velo permission was given for the reading of a statement made In writing to Ernest Stuht by L. J. Graver , making an estimate of the cost of repair of the Eleventh street viaduct. It was stated that the cosl would be about f5,000 , now flooring being requited and the replac ing of a little Iron work necessary. Saundcis announced thai lie believed Iho mayor correct with regard to the Eleventh street viaduct , but was In favor of proceeding with the repair of the Sixteenth street via duct. Bui as Iho resolution was worded , he said ho would vote lo sustain Iho veto. Prlnco quolod Judge Ambrose as saying that the action contemplated by Iho resolu tion would not. prejudice the case in the supreme premo court. Ho said , too , lhat Ihe time had coma when Iho residents of the south gldt should be freed from the hardships caused by the closing of the viaduct. Jacobsen also pleaded thai the resolution be made a law1 In splto of the voto. Cly ! Attorney Council , bcilng called on commended Judge Ambrose's ability , but In sisted that ho was talking through his hal when ho said that the passage of the resolu tion and action under It would not prejudice the case In the supreme court Ho said tint a favorable decision of the case by Ihe su preme court would b3 a benefit of far greater Importance than the complete repair of the viaduct , as It would finally settle the dlspulo between the railroads and Ihe c ly respecting the valldty of Iho charier provision under Which Iho mandamus proceedings were brought , and ho expressed himself as con fident that he could get the case advanced by the supreme court on the ground of public necessity , a ground which would disappear It the resolution became n law and the clly pro ceeded under U. Ho said he was qulle sure that If the resolution did not pass a hear.ng could be had In the supreme court and a de cision reached In a month. Otherwise all the advantage heretofro gained would be losl the probability of further good results de stroyed , and the determination gf Iho Im portant contention Indefinitely dclayel. In response to Inquiries Mr. Connell saia that his remarks applied only to the Eleventh street viaduct , and that repairs on the Six teenth slreet viaduct might proceed , another Eeparale rcsolullon being adopled , which ho believed Iho mayor would sign without hes- llallon. Edwards suggested lhat the veto bo nol sustained , and that the way be open for Ihe repair of bolh structures with the under standing that the Board of Public Works be Instructed not to touch the Eleventh street viaduct until a decision In the case was reached by the supreme court , If reached soon. soon.How How ell concurred In this view. The veto of the mayor was sustained ono vote being lacking to ove'rrldo It. WILL PROCEED WITH REPAIRS. The special lommltlce In which had been referred Iho mailer of Iho repair of Iho Slxlcenlh fctrect viaduct recommended that the proposition of 0. E. II. Campbell , who offered to replace the four Umber spans for $1,916 , Iho work lo bo accomplished In slxly days after commencement , bo accepted. It further recommended that the Board ol Public Works bo Instructed to first notify the railroads of the intention of the clly to repair , and In case Ihoy refused lo acl tc proceed with the work and the cost would bo assessed against the railroads. / * * The question was raised whether It would npt bo necessary under the charter to nd verting for bids for the work. The city attorney gave It as his opinion that II would not be , and the report of the conv mlllco , wllh Iho necessary concurrent reso' lutlon , was adopled , The mayor vnlood a rosolullon setllnt apart JEOO from the road fund for genera ntreot repairs In the Fifth ward and $5W for the same purpose In fhe Slxlh ward The mayor believed that as places where repairs were alleged to be necessary wer ( not stated It would bo an unauthorized dl version of the money In the road fund and In violation of Iho provisions of Iho charier Saunders and Jayncs urged that uo con Elderablo street repairing had been dent In these wards and bcseechod their colleaguei to now stand by them as they had stood bj their colleagues In the case of proposition for repairs eUewhere. They also cinplia sized the extreme necessity of the expend ! turo on account of the bad condition of thi streets. , The veto was overrlJtn by a vote of 1 ! to G. The mayor returned without his approva n resolution transferring from the roac fund to the park fund the sum of J500 fo tha reason that the proposed action was li direct volallon of the plain provision of thi charter , and rendered the bond of ever ; councilman or the bond of the mayor favor Ing the proposed transfer liable for tin amount of the game The veto - as sustained. Objections of the mayor to nn ordinance locating water hydrant * on Thlrty-nlnl ) treet between Grand and Fowler avenuei were transmuted , the necessity of the hy drants being denied and the fund declare < too low to warrant the expenditure Tin council nude the ordinance a law over thi veto by a vote of 12 to 6. A veto was alto sent In of a concurren resolution ordeilng the street commlsslonei to remove from tbo streets all tin cam ecraps of Iron , wire , etc. lie thought tin cxpenie unnecessary. The veto was lus talned , Immediate payment of the Judgment ae cured against the city by John Condon foi grading on Woolworth * vnui war recom mended by the city attorney. The sugges tion wai adopted. Two hundred property owners on South Sixteenth street petitioned for the repair and opening of the Sixteenth street viaduct aa soon as possible. Referred to viaduct committee. An Invitation to the councllmen and their ladles to attend the ball of the State Phar maceutical association at the Mercer hotel this evening was accepted , Favornb'o report was made by the finance committee on the proposed purchase of an ambulance and a concurrent resolution In structing the comptroller to advertise for bids among home manufacturers , the ambu lance not to cost more than $450 , was sub- milled. The report was not adopted and the resolution was defeated. NEW BICYCLE ORDINANCE. Tor Mercer's bicycle ordinance the commit tee on police submitted a substitute reading as follows.

When the last of the retrenchment ordi nances following In the wake of the recom mendajtlons of the finance committee , made at the opening of the year , was passed on hy the city council about a month ago , It wcs though ) that the whole question was set at rest. It Is quite apparent , however , that the members of the body will bo compelled to again place themselves on record In the matter. How ell's communication , read at the meetIng - Ing Saturday night and referred to the finance committee , seems to ha\c reopened a discussion which It took almost four months to settle and to have caused the old uneasiness In the city olllcca mentioned as fields of retrenchment In the communication. Mr. Howell was asked yesterday why ho had made the suggestions lu view of the re cent action of the city council. Ho said that he had done so because he had reason to bo- llove that several members of the council had changed their minds with regard to the ! necessity of strict economy , and ho gave It as his opinion that when the subject was presented again different action would be taken. Ho called attention to the fact that he , with most of the democratic members , of the council , supported the plan of re trenchment as heretofore proposed , and said that his letter was In good faith and ho be Moved that the council was now ready to In sist on measures that It did not before re gard as Imperative In the way of saving the people's money. It Is certain that the finance committee will recommend that the city attorney be In structed to draw up an ordinance In which the suggestions of Howell will bo the main features. Mr. KennarJ of the finance committee said "The recommendations of Hovvell are in line with those originated and suggested by the finance committee at the beginning of the year. Those recommendations were not adopted , and the plan of retrenchment , as proposed by the committee , was knocked out hy members of the council who have light ning rods up , and who went Into the city hall ring. The finance committee still abides , by Its flrst action in the matter , and would bo glad to see more radical retrenchment , even at this late day. " Heads of the departments mentioned In the letter were asked yesterday how they looked at the proposition , and In every In stance they lemarXcd , as they did four months ago , that they could not do the busi ness of their olllces properly with less help. - One of the councllmen who confesses to a change of sentiment on the retrenchment matter Is Holmes , and when the question comes up again he will male ; the democratic minority unanimous In support of economy In city affairs. _ IIAVDl , ; , liltUS. s I'nrgnln - > nles. 50 pieces best Imported swivel silks , GOc , quality , and full 20 Inches wide , at 25c yard.

An Incident of Travel , During a recent trip over the Michigan Central , a railway lhat has been known for more than a quarter of a century as Ihe "Niagara Falls Roule , " It occurred to mo , from close obsenallon of the passengers , that Colonel Ruggles could properly call his famous railway "Ihe great cosmopolitan lino" out of Chicago tastward. There were twenty-four passengers In the sleeper In which I was traveling , and more than hall of that number were Europeans , homewart bound. The most prominent party was headed by a prince of Batlenburg , a brolher of Prince Henry , who married Beatrice o England. He was accompanied by Lori Burnslde and Iwo English ofllcera ofblgl' rank.- There were several Germans , cnroule to the Kiel festivities. At the five-minute stop that every Michigan Central through passenger train makes opposite Niagara Falls every foreigner allghled fiom the car and gazed until the very last moment In silent admiration on the mighty cataract.
