Mayor Ensor , us president of the South
Omaha Hoard of Tiadc , ban called a meeting
of citizens for Tuesday evening at the coun
cil chamber , The meeting la called for the
purpose of getting the committees appointed
at a former meeting Interested In the Trans-
Mississippi Exposition At a joint meeting
of the Board of Trade and Iho Municipal
league , held some time ago , a committee of
twenty-five was appointed to take steps to
have the etposllton located advantageously
to this city. No meeting ot the committee
has over been hold
Another Important question will ho pre
sented to the meeting , and that Is to take
steps to Induce the sircct railway company
to extend Its lines from Albright lo Fort
Crook. A number ot the most Influential
business men are In favor of offering a
bonus lo the company It It will extend the
line. Two citizens have also been found
who are willing to donate the necessary land
for a power house In Albright. It Is thought
thai should the line bo extended a power
house south of this city would bo a necessity
Such a line would bring hundreds of dollars
Into the pockets of South Omaha merchants
Even now , with no transportation facilities ,
Iho streets are filled with soldiers every
afternoon and evening , and they all spend
money. John Fly tin Is enthusiastic over the
plan , and will do all he can to help the
project along He said yesterday thai ho
thought the counties of Douglas and Sarpy
ought to provide the necessary fumU to civ or
Mud creek from the packing houses to the
river. The expense would not bo meat , and
then the objection to the road through the
bottoms would bo removed , and with a lltllo
work , a line drive could bo made When
the Thirteenth strcel boulevard Is completed
It Is feared that all of the trade will go
straight to Omahn , whereas , If the car line
can bo extended now , while the weather Is
good. Fort Crook will gel Into the habit ot
trading here and would not be so liable to
change when thai road Is opened ,

that at the next meeting ot the city council
he would Introduce a resolution i educing
the streel car faro inside Iho clly llmlls lo
3 cents. Ho Is of the opinion that 3 cents
Is enough to charge for a ride ot ono mile
and thai Is the length of the line within
the limits of the city , exclusive of the Al
bright stub. He said thai In Delroll the
fare had been reduced to 3 cents and ho
did not see why people who lived along
Twenty-fourth stiect should be compelled
to pay fi cents to get to their places ot busi
ness. The ordinance compelling the com
pany to replace the present wooden poles
with Iron ones will come up for final readIng -
Ing and passage next Monday night , as
will also the ordinance levying a tax on all
