CLnlrman Burkley of the finance commlt- te- tqo of the city council has a resolu tion by which the rate of In terest on general city warrants \\111 be fixed at C per cent , a rcductku of 1 per cent. Councilman Hurkley IH confident that the Warrants \\111 bo readily disposed ot at the reduced rate of Intercut and cs the proposi tion Is regarded with favor by the comp troller and treasurer It Is very likely that the resolution will he adopted without opposl- tloi. The state law under \\lilcli the war- ran ta are registered to draw kitereu : pro vides that the rate shall be7 per cent "un less otherwise specified. " An no rate lian over beui specified on city \\arr.ints , 7 per cent haa been paid and the warrants arc In 'Ircmiiulous denmiid. On the municipal pay da > s half a dozen hrjkerB fairly Hcrumble over each other for the Investment and It h regarded as certain that even wltti the con templated reductlcn In Interest the demand will ccti'tlouo. Chief Olerlt Fead of the city treasurer's of fice contends that the reduction should bo nude to apply } o warrants on fiieclal funds > g well as gcncial warrants. Slticu U91 spe cial taxes for grading and oavlng have only Brawn C per cent Intcrtst , while the city was compelled to pay 7 tier cent on the warrants outstanding agaUist the districts. Mr. Fead Is positive that the Hpeclitl fund narrants could bo readily disposed of at C i > er cent. The matter was brought to the attention of the diortor amendment committee last > wr by the city treasurer , hut t that time there ISMS BO little capital looking for Investment that It was thought Inadvisable to reduce the rate of Interest on these warrants. Since then tlmcu have changed and there 010 not half enough warrants to go around. Many Nstcrn cities pay only B per cent on their ) utr > tandlng uurraiitu and although such a radical reduction might not result satisfac torily hero It Is contended that 0 tier cent Is i EUlllclent interest to tuako all warrants marketable. Complain of fiunolliie Numerous complaints are being received at the city h.a.11 that the gasoline lights now operated , by tht- Acme company are giving the worst possible service. It IB alleged th t the lights are dark all night for blocks end that In some of the suburban district * . tbo company Its giving no service at all , Gas Inspector Gilbert tiB that there Is a good deal of basis for the complaints. An the company has only one more month ro malnlng Its employes expect to lose theli pciltlopn In a few days and are cocsequently neglecting their work. The Inspector an be j kept busy night and day trying to keep tbo contractor In line , but haa Jbccn only able to partially make up ( or the neg- Icct ot the contractor , The Chicago concern which has the new , contract la preparing to furnish the llgbu ; } * iftcr January 9 and ItIs not anticipated t Ibat 'any material changed will bo made In th location ot the llghtt.

Thcio signs have Accumulated until they Amount to a disfigurement of the mata 'thor- ' oughfarcs end It Is given out cold that everyone ono of them must ccme down before the ex position.

APPRECIATE ABOLITION OF BRIDGE TOLL Ciinimlttcp of Hie Commcr- olnl Club Volci-H the Srittlntciit of Oiiiiilui People CoiiermlUK the Xeiv Itntc. The members of the executive committee of the Commercial club , at their rcEUlar meeting ycaterday , felicitated and congratu lated themselves over the handsome Christ mas present put Into their stocking by the Port Arthur route In cutting oft the long- dctcated "bridge toll. " The matter was the chief subject of dis cussion at the meeting. The probable effect that the action of the road would have on the other railroads coming Into the city was also talked over at considerable length. The appreciation of the mercantile Interests of the city and South Omaha for the removal of the oppressive rate was Indicated In the following resolution , which was unanimously passed : Whereas , The Omnhn , Kansas City & Eastern nud Omaha & St. Louis railways have Issued a tariff between Omaha and South Omnha nnd Io\a points removing the unjust discrimination heretofore miilntutned npalnst this market , known ns the brltlga toll nnd , i Whereas , The management oC the said roads In taking such action have shown themselves In sympathy with the com mercial Interests of the city , therefore , bo It Iletolved , That the Commercial club of. Omaha , na the representative of the ship ping and commercial Interests of Omaha nnd South Omaha , hereby recognize such nation n an evidence of the peed "will ot the Omaha , Kansas City & K.istcrn nnd Omaha & St. Louis railways , and hereby extends to the nbovc roads nml the new connections n hearty welcome to Omaha and the thunlts of the. business community for their friendly notion. WILL , BANQUET HUIIT. The selection of Horace G. Hurt as pres ident of the Union Pacific system also came In for a share of consideration. A commit tee consisting of Dumont , Baum and Utt was appointed to malic arrangements for a reception and banquet to bo tendered hlm > when he assumed his duties In this city. Another communication was received from the merchants of Great Falls and , other points In Montana urging on the club the necessity of Inducing Iho nurllngton system to extend Its lines from Bllllags to Great Falls , a distance of 200 miles. The matter has been pressed by the Commercial club already , but the Burlington officials claim that the road Is not In a position to bulM It will be again token up. If the extension Is constructed It wouU glvo Montana people an outlet to the south west and to Omaha , which they do not now hive , and would also open up a great flch for the merchants In this city. The tcrrl tory between Hillings nnd Great Falls Is rich In etock , minerals and other products which would naturally como to this city Furthermore , In next July Great Falls wil bo connected with the mineral fields o British Columbia , and In this way Omaha would be able to reach into the far north west. The Canadian people , also , are talk Ing of connecting with Great Falls In such a way that a part of the Alaska traffic wouli be diverted , of which Omaha would got Its share. A. communication was read from J. D Johnston of Sidney , this state. In which h states that he has been raising for som seasons past canalgre , the plant which 1 destined to revolutionize the tanning In dustry , and which. It Is believed , can b raised wlth-succcss In this state. Mr. John ston sajs that the plant thrives In his vi cinity even In the dryest seasons. During the coming season he desires to experiment with It in a tanning way nnd writes to learn the methods ho should employ. A communication from New Orleans asked the Commercial club to use its Influence with the rivers and harbors committee ol congreso to Induce It to report In favor of an appropriation to deepen the channels of the Mississippi which lead Into the Gullet ot Mexico at Now Orleans. If the water should be so deepened that sea vessels could ship grain from New Orleans the grain rates to esstern and foreign seaports would too greatly reduced and this vicinity would therefore reap a benefit. The following were elected members ol the club : John N , Frenzer , W. H. Green and W. G.'Shrlver. TO CIIHIC 'COID IN OX 13 DAY Take Laxatlv.e Brome Quinine Tablets.
