"Tlio Now Financial System of Omaha'
was the subject of discussion at the Current
Topic club of the Young Men's Christian
association last night. The subject was
presented by Councllmcn P. II. Kennanl and
Ciutet Taylor , both of whom came with carefully -
fully written statements of what they and the
new administration Intended to do In the wn >
of reform and retrenchment , which they read
word for word. It was someuhat amusing to
listen to the congratulations the two councilmen -
men offered each other as members of the
finance committed In working for economy ,
leaving out the remainder of the cottnct
almost entirely.
Councilman Kennard was Introduced by
Chairman Kllpatrlck , and he started 'out by
saying that In nges past , merchants and pro
fessional 111011 , who" obtained their livelihood
by laboi1 , were looked down upon , but that
In these days of maladvcrslon and malfea
sance the people had come to look upon this
class of people as the moat suitable ones to
carry on public business. Ho said that cl
such the council of 189G was composed , mill
In consequence It might be expected to do
great things In running the city In a busl-
noss-llko manner. Ho said that prior to
1893 the city never had a system of finance ,
because It did not need It. In the days ol
prosperity the people did not realize the
profligacy prevalent In the government , bul
when the crisis came In 1S ! 3 they felt the
pressure and then began the clamor for rellel
from excessive taxation. Matters drifted
along through 1893. 1894 and 1S03. up to the
threshold of 1890 , from which time * a change
might be expected under the new council.
I'UOMISES CONSERVATISM.
"Tho city government of the city , " said Mr.
Kennard , "will be run according to Its capac
ity and needs along lines dictated by every
principle of conservatism regarded by the
people. " Ho stated that this had already
been shown by the stcpa of economy taken.
He said that on January 1 , ordinances wen I
Into effect which cut down the expenses of the
city hall $21,000 , and that slnco that time
other reductions of $6,000 had bsen nude.
A new gasoline lighting contract had been
entered Into , which would save $9.000. He
said that other savings would follow which
would decrease the expenses In the city , hall
? 40,000 before tha end of the year.
Mr. Kennard recommended the acquirement
of ownership of the water works system un
der condemnation proceedings and said that
by so doing the city would bo able to laj
aside a fund and reduce water rent both to
Itself and the citizens. He also advlccd the
city ownership of the telephone and electric
light systems. He stated that by a com
parison with cities which- owned such sys
tems there was a difference against Omaha
of almost enough to run the municipal gov
ernment. '
Another part of the city's new policy as
outlined by htm was the honest collection ol
taxes. He stated that Hhc investigation ol
the treasurer's ofllce disclosed the fact thai
taxpayers had had their tax receipts re
ceipted for months and"-cven a year before
they paid the taxes , /.thereby saving the in
terest , of 1 per cent a month. Ho promisee
that the new administration would see thai
all taxes were paid when'tltie. ' of that Inter
est would bo added tq them. Ho also ad
vised homo rule for tljp q'jty , absolutely Inde
pendent of the state government , which vorlc !
permit the citizens to rfdrmulato a charter
for themselves. HA" il ; ed that delegate
should , bo sent to th 'Jij'glslatur.e. to vote for
Omaha's , and not co ppyayonsj interests. .
'
When Councilman KeJinard-h'ad-flnlshed his
paper Councilman Taylor stepped forward
'
with his. He stated tha't he hoped to see the
flme when city Jobs would bo distributed by
civil service rules instead of on account of
political services. Ho then propounded the
question over which the taxpayers of the city
have been puzzling their brains for three
years : "Do you realize that you have been
paying $1,000,000 a year without knowing
where it goeo ? " He said that the finance
committee tried to arouse Interest in thla
question by various reports , and that Ha ef
forts finally culminated in the Investigation
of the treasurer's ofllce. The Investigation
resulted in the checking up of the office for
the first time In three years and a half. Ho
said that thanks ought to bo given to the
committee for the- safeguards which were
placed about the ofllce by the ordinances of
January 1.
HIS TEN-FOLD PLAN.
Taylor then went on to detail ths elements
which. In bis opinion , would make a strong
city policy. In the first place , the best bus
iness mem of the city should bo sent to the
legislature to work for a revised charter.
They should bo men strong enough to work
for the city's interests and not those of cor
porations. Secondly , the legal voters should
have the right of making and regulating
their own charter. Thirdly , the governments
of Omaha , South Omaha and the county
should bo consolidated Into one , as the cx-
pjnsc.3 of the entire county were practically
paid by Omaha now , Fourthly , the council
should bo reduced to nllio members and the
salaries should be so Increased as to attract
business men. He said that as a rule bus
iness men refused a seat In the council be
cause it meant sacrifice of business. Fifthly ,
all boards and salaries should bo wiped out
of the charters. He thought they could bet
ter bo regulated by ordinances. Sixthly ,
bucli a oyBtem of fceu should us established
ns to mnko nil oflices not onlv sclf-sunnortlnir.
but revenue producing. Seventhly , no fran
chise extending over a period of two years
should bo granted until the consent of the
citizens hhould be obtained. Eighthly , the
city should own the water works system.
Ninthly , no citizens should believe reports
about their olllcsrs. without investigation. Ho
thought that thecharacter of officers had
been sadly maligned In the past. Tenthly ,
good laws EliouUUlx ) made , lower taxes In
augurated and a more vigorous public Inter
est created. He did inot think , however ,
that the matter of lowering taxes should be
carried to extremes.
When the papers had been read the sub
ject wan declared open to discussion by the
meeting , and J. J. Points was called upon.
He said that If the council would lower
the taxes and carry out the other promises
which had been made in the papers the
present administration' would certainly be
highly commended by the public. Ho es
pecially urged that franchises should bo
more carefully glven to corporations and
thought that they ohly'.should bo granted
by the voice of the people. He said that If
the city could not owii them they should be
rented. r
Frank Heller epoke' especially in favor of
local government , bcjne of the opinion that
the Btate should hayej-llttlo to do in the
affairs of the city. - Hd- rebuked the city
ofllcIaU who had put "slltf3 In the drawers of
the city treasurer forSeries / drawn in advance -
vance , saying that they were no better than
thcives , inasmuch as , Jiirelr action was Il
legal. ,
J. W. Powers andidiy Clerk Hlgby also
made remarks. The latter stated that citizens
had made demands that"the levy should not
exceed. 3G mills , but , bp pfM that this would
not yield a sufficient turn to run the govern
ment.
WANT NO CJTT" POLITICS.
In ending the discussion Chairman Kll-
patrlck said that ho would like to BCD the
la SWEETJtESS and POWER
of TOME , BEAUTY of DE-
- SICK , and STRENGTH of

government taken out ot politics. Ho urged
that espfclnl ciro should bo taken In elect
ing a pzs.iors , because he thought the great
est dissatisfaction existed on account of the
unequal assessment ot property. Ho stated
that the economical policy of the new ad
ministration WAS commendable , and he was
glad to hear expenses would bo cut down
$40,000 bsforo the end of the year , but
thought tint was only a drop In the bucket
when the entire expense \ \ s $1,000,000 n
year. He said that the park board , ot which
he Is a member , was economical , as It asked
for1 an assessment of only 1 mill , and would
bo satisfied with half that amount , sufficient
to cover the bare running expenses of the
bsml , but ho desired to see the other de
partments act similarly.
Mr. Kllpatrlck was not In favor ot the pur
chase of the water works or the Issuance
of any bonds at the present time. He sUtcd
that the city wag burdened with an Indebted
ness of $6,000.000 , which would beg'u to fall
duo In ISOi. The c'ly had as yet provided no
mcnno w.lth which to pay eft this Indebted
ness , and he thought that the strictest
economy ought to ba pracllcM In order that
a fund for thit purpose might be collected.

prints an Interesting paper on "Locomotive

ConncU cf the Union Pacific system. It
was read at the December meeting of the
Western Hallway club. The paper concludes
as follows : "When the mechanical depart
ments of our railroads give the same atten
tion to increasing the train haul that they
do to making a showing of how cheap they
can run the locomotive-s per mile they will
find they have obtained Increased service
from the locomotive , decreased the cost of
hauling a ton of freight , and Increase. ! the
revenue of the company. The problem of
today is , how much does it cost to haul a
ton cf freight one mile , not what does It cost
per mile to run your locomotives. "

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS
cccocccccccocccoccocccocccS
All members ot the city council were
present l t night except Franck. The most
Important matter was the report ot the
committee appointed to Investigate Alleged
overcharges by the American Water Works
company. The report ot the committee was :
"Wo are unable to report upon as many
cmea aa we would have liked for the reason
that many of our citizens on whom wo
called for water bills declined to furnish
them. While many believed the rales ex
orbitant , and that though there might
be overcharges they did not feel like getting
mixed up In any fight with the water works
company. In all , wo prosnntcd to the water
works company for explanation seven cases ,
with tha following result :
"A bill of $22.75 on a residence for the
use of water from July 1. 1S95 , to January 1 ,
1S90. It will bo iimlentood that tto com
pany's bills are not Itemized , the blllu read
ing : 'For privilege of uu'.ng water for pur
poses us per Inspection. ' ami pimply give the
total amount. Hoqucstlng items on this- hill
we were fiirnls < hcd by the company's minagor
with the following : Nine rooms , $9 ; ono
bath , $3.50 ; ono water clopct , $3.50 ; one
water closet , $1.50 ; one extra wash bawl ,
$1 ; lawn , $15 ; horsb , $3 ; ono rotary , $10 ;
tctal , $15.50. Tills Is tha annual rate , the
$22.75 being for rlx months. Comparing thlt
wllh the company'o printed rate wo find an
overchirgo of $16 In the charge for the
rotary. It will bo twan that the American
Water Works company charges $15 for the
water used for sprinkling the lawn and $10
for ths machine which docs the sprinkling.
There Is nothing In the company's printed
rate authorizing such a charge. The bill
rendered on this property for the six months
commencing January 1 , 1890. Is for the sume
amount and has been p > ild by the owncn
This lu an overcharge of 22 per cent.
"Another bill examined waa on a residence
where a meter was used. It was renilore.l
December 2 , 1S95 , and wno for water con
sumed from September 21 to November 2fi
3,760 gallons at 35 cents per thousand gallons
lens , $1.30 ; September bill , $1.30 ; total , $2.00.
The owner produced lib Ssptembcr bill for
$1.30 paid dn October 14 , 1S95. This bill
roads , October 1 , 1895 , for water coniumo.l
from August .2(1 ( to September 21 , 3,750 gallons
lens , $1.30. TUP explanation of the Septem
ber bill having been 'Included ' In tlio Decem
ber bill , which had been paid on October
14 , wan that It i'ad been credited through
error on the company's Looks to another con-
yumor In the same neighborhood , But It
seama a little strange that the quantity
charged for on each bill , 3,750 gallons , should
bo exactly the wine when the first account
is for sixty-three days and the last but for
twenty-nine days.
"Tho next bill examined was for two
houses pltuated on a double corner , the two
lots fronting 120 feet and running back to
the alley 150 feat. Hut the amount the
Itomn furnished on this bill Is $12.40 for
six months , at seven rooms , $7.50 ; eight
rooms , $8.25 ; boss use , $7 ; total. $22.75
At thosa rates the bills should have been
$11.40 , not $12.40. The charge for the houseD
is right according to the rate book , but there
la an overcharge in the amount for hose
use of $1.30. Tl'o company's rate book mys
atrcot sprinkling by hose , fifty feet front
or IOSD , $5. Kach additional foot. 10 cants.
Aa the property le but 120 feet frontage , the
total charge should ba but $5.70.
"Tho next bills examined were for a saloon
whe.ro a meter is used. Ono fs for water
used from March 23 to April 25 , cno month
and two days , 13,500 gallons , $1.50 ; ono for
water closet used from Juno 7 to July 25 ,
one month and eighteen days , 3,000 gallons ,
$1.05 ; ono for water titwd October 25 to No
vember 2C , one month and cne day , 3,000
gallons , $1.05. The next bill Is for $3.75 for
six months In a private residence of i > even
rooma and which ly according to the com
pany's rates. The next billo examined are.
far a business building where a meter I ? '
used. The first , as rendered , on March 11 ,
1S93 , reads as follows : 'For water , con-
oumed from April 25 , 1894 , to January 7 ,
1895 , estimated 257 dcys at 1.975 gallons per
day. 607,575 gallonp at 25.conts. $126.90. ' Tha
second bill is dated April'11 , 1895 , and roidal
'For water consumed from April 25 , 1S'J4 , to
January 7 , 1895 ; estimated on run of 1893 ,
$ CC.20. ' The last bill wao paid. It will bo
uoen that the water worka company did con
siderable estimating tc- arrive at what should
bo paid in thit ) caco and it appears In tht ,
light of the subwnucnt settlement for les-
than half that in the flrst bill of the corn-
it looked 'for ito own Interests. It will be
noticed that In the flrst bill the quantity
estimated is 507,575 gallony for 237 days , or
1,975 gallons per day. This number of gallons
lens at 25 cents amounts U $126.90. Had tha
estimating computer of the company raised
tlio dally consumption to 2,000 gallons
lens , only twenty-five gallons moro ,
the total 'quantity would , have been
511,000 gillcns , and the only solution of
the estimate of a few gallons per day less
is unaccountable unlcM the estimate took
into consideration the difference In the prlco
per day between 2,000 gallons and a loss
quantity. The company's rate book Bays-
'Meter rates , 1,000 to 2,000 gallons iier day ,
25 cents ; 2,000 to1,000 gallona per day. W
cents. ' Had the quantity run 2,000 gallons
per day the bill would have been $102.80 , In
stead of J126.90. Another bill on which the
company furnished the Items Is ono for a
business property containing two store rooms
and ten rooms upslalm The charge Is $30.50
for ox ! months and the ItcniD for annual
rates are : 'Ten rooms , $12 ; three water
cloiets. $10 ; hose use , $0 ; two saloons , $10 ;
ono billiard table. $5 ; total , $73 , ' This bill
wau paid July 1 last , and the bill rendered
for the six months commencing January 1 ,
1896 , was for the mine amount. There has
boon no eileen in ono of the building's ' elnco
May labt , and for three months after that
tlmo the room was vacJnt. Sliico then the
room has been occupied by a milliner. Wo
find In this bill an overcharge of $15 on ono
store room and $1 for use of licso. the rate
book calling for a charge of $5 for fifty feet
or loss for hero use. and the property Is but
forty feet front. This overcharge omounU
to 30 , per cent. Tim water works conipany'o
attention was called to thcoo overcharge *
Homo tlmo ago and a new bill has slnco
been made for the six months expiring July
1 iioxt. Tlio items on this bill are : 'Ten
roomo , $12 ; ono sacon ) , $20 ; one mllllnory
store , $5 ; hose use , $5 ; ihreo water.clooats ,
$15 ; total , $57. ' It will bo noticed that the
ccrrcctlon hau been made on the saloon and
boto utij , but it will also bo noted that tbo
charge for the thrco water closets hna been
.raised from $10 ta $15. There is In each cf
the store rooms a water closet and ono In
the rear of the building. Heretofore tha
company hau charged ? 5 for tlio one In the
saloon and $2.50 each for the others. They
now charge $5 each. The company's rate
book says : 'Water cl0et in public hollies ,
per bowl , $5 ; water closets In private houses ,
per bowi , $2.50. ' The charge of $5 for each
may not be ovcrcoargo , but In this case it is
certainly an Injustice.
"It will l > o seen by the above facts that
In almost every case wo Investigated over-
chargeu were found , and from these findings
it IB not unreasonable to assert that over
charges by this company are the rule and
not the exception , and this is a convincing
argument that tha ordinance requiring the
company to render an Itemized bill , now In
the hands of tha judiciary committee , should
bo passed at onto , "
This report was signed by the full com
mittee , Hyan , Ilulla and Mies.
liulla moved the adoption of the report
and Ityan seconded It. llcforo a vote was
taken Illanchard wanted to know what Inter
est the mayor had lit looking up bills paid
at private residences , Ho could not under
stand why1 the mayor and some of the conn-
clliren took such an Interest in the matter ,
as the overcharge was not cm the city. If
any kick was coming the property owners
and consumers of water wore the personate
to kick , and not the council.
Mayor Johnston said that the members of
the council were the servants ot the people
and ( should > > ee to it that the taxpayers were
not robbed by any corporation. The city
charter , said the mayor , gave the city connell -
ell power to regulate the rated charged for
water.
Mr , liulla coincided -with the mayor and
thought that tbo water works company
should give an Itemized bill ,
Walters wanted to hear from J , C , Col-
Ins , local superintendent of the American
Water Works company , and before ho voted
Mr , Collins et pped forward and tald that
as long au ho was superintendent ho would
tcmlzo every bill providing ho was askcJ
to do so. Mr. Collins further stated that If
an error of inspection had been made he-
was willing to refund the money. As for
he rotary cprlnkiers , for which a charge cf
| 10 was made , Colllnv mid that She
for roUry sprinklers wag tnkon oft during
1S25 , nnd It was an oversight In making the
charge. He , however , claimed that rotary
sprinklers were really portable fountains and
should bo charged as such. The other cases
Mr , Collins said wcro merely clerical over-
chargoi and could bo easily remedied by
applying at his offlcfi and presenting bills.
Collins said that ho was willing to rolnsprct
every hou.io and business place In the city
and render Itemized bills It requested to do
so. Ho could not sec what necessity there
was for passing the ordinance ordering Item-
Ired bills.
Mayor Johnston called Ilulla to the chair
and addressed the council on the proposition.
Hi urged the councllmen to protect the In-
terciU of the taxpayers by suspending the
rulrs nnd passing the ordinance at once.
