Mr. Yatps Inid down as the foundatlo
propoBitlon of his remarks that what Oman
ne-pds is a reduction of taxation and there
.foro n reduction in the cost of running th
clt ; , government With this principle i
mind he discusiod the amendments One r
the first sections he took up wat , the effoi
to raise the salaries of the cltj clerk an
comptroller from $1,600 to $2f.OO a > eai
The present salnrj , he Bald , was more tha
men who did similar work in business BE
tabllBhments receive A re'ason for this In
crease , be etuted. Is assigned in the fue
that other city officials are receiving'pro
jiortlonutely higher salary What should b
clone , he maintained , is to lower the othe
balarlcs
Mr Yates also found objection to th
amendment which will -permit the mujc
uud council to order rcpavlng without pe
tltion Ftibject to protest within thirty davi
the similar provision to the one which gov
rrns paving in the present charter He lu
Blsted that such a law would * > e Mrj per
iilclaUB as on account of the indifferent
or absence of propertj owners it would b
decidedly difficult to get up u majoritj prc
test. In place of such u change he insiBte
that the present paving law should be B
t , 'nended ns to put it oa the same plane a
repaving that paving maj not be ordere
'unless petitioned for
Mi Yates also found
fault with the prc
jicbcd amendment
compelling propert
owners to accept the cheapest kind of dc
fclrud paving 'brick ' , asphalt or stone ol
fered in competition , even if they want t
I'aj more monej in order to get the bet
pavement All these faults , Mr Yates Bale
were remedied b the Crow

before the legislature.

Bunker Yates then took up and oppose
the amendment b > which it IB proposed i
compel the railroads to , mj aB much cjt
taxes us other propertj owners in Omahi
I am a banker and interested in rallroa

Mr Tales then went on to Bay that tt
Burlington could have done its business pai
ilj In the old cowsheds , but the publl
vvanted and demundpel something bette
This demand was met and satisfied in tt
present "magnificent structure which IB tt
equal of nnj depot anjwhero"
' IEU t that grand" " demanded Mr Yate ,
"And now thej want to tax that maj
ulllcent building and those sidetracks 01
of tight ! "
Mr. Yale's went on to BBJ that if this rai :
road amendment weio retained ft would t
sure to .kill the whole bill
Mr YHtcs then took up the amendment
increasing the limit of the fire fund froi
J12D.OOO to Iir.O.dOO and the sinking fun
fiom JL'dO 000 to JMO.OOO. Tie fire depart
mcut is as good an is required , he asBe'rlct

bluking fund , ie maintained that the prcBer
is no time to paj off debts HP advise
rather that the cltj should renew its bond
at n Joweir rate of interest and pay off soffl
time in the future.

Qurrton W Wattle * answered om * of Mr
Y i ' afrumenif ; confining hhaitelf , how
ever to th * amendment providing for t
substitution of certificate * of indebtednmi
for intprert-bearinK warrants MrVaUk -
declared that the certificate plan ha * beet
tried with great snores * by other cltlm
nuere they frequently d-aw as low aB 2i

pent He disagreed with Mr Yates thai
thi iw > certificates tau st run for a jear , bul
aid they might Ue issued for a few months
Cltj Engineer llosewater attacked Mr
Yati-V advocacy of the Crow bill. He as
serted that that measure would dettroj
I eotnpetltlon and Omaha would have to pa ;
' as hleb a price for its asphalt pav ment
for example as It did In pa t jears , befon
| the competitive system was adopted
The result of this < -oinpetltl've Fjntem
I said Mr Konewate-r hub been to glveOmahi
j asphalt for the lowest price In the countrj
! under Uie best conditions that can be madi
a requirement from contractors undei
guaranty bond to maintain pavements fo :
a period of Ove years Omaha s huccesi
lias ret > ulu d in the adoption of this com'
petitlve kvstem by other cities
"If this svstem ts dropped now we wil
pet back to the flajs of corruption , " Bali
Cltj Engineer Hose-water "Suppose 40 pe :
cent of the propcrtv owners want Trlnidai
asphalt The Trinidad asphalt people a !
thev bave done before will oner rebate !
to 11 per cent more of the propertv ownen
and in this wnj n dearer pavement will bi
laid than half the propertv owners can per
haps paj for And it will be the Kami
win never other pavements of Bpeclilei
manufacture are asked for These rebatei
and bribes too. will not be given to thi
small property owners , but to the one win
has large holding" and whose signature wil
therefore be worth mote on the petition
That Is wliat has been done in this cit ;
and in other cities of the countrj "
\ * to Colnrnilu Sntulntonc.
During the course of hie argument Mr
Yates had stated that bj the competitive
sjstem not cml > bad paving , but also ba <
curbing. Is being placed In the citj. Colorado
rado sandstone , be said is known to be tin
best curbstone and vet it i * not select ei
unless It is offered for the lowest money
Thlh fact is inducing the Colorado sanfl
stone people to withdraw from the citj am
Mr YateE , predicted that it would be han
for Oniiiha to get its curbing In the future
In answer to this Mr Rosevvater Bald
"It is not strange that Mr Yates fcbouli
be advocating the Crow bill because it wil
allow Colorado sandstone curbing to be pu
in at a higher price than is being paid b :
the city for curbing now , for the reasoi
I that Mr Yates Is interested in the Coloradi
KancUtone quarries "
The city engineer s remarks w ere heartll :
applauded This encouraged him to Intro
duci the resolution that tie meeting dls
npprove of the Crow bill As alreadj btated
this resolution was adopted without a dlB'
Renting vote , althougti Mr Yates spoke be'
fore the vote was called for
\Vithout taking up anj of the othe :
amendments the meeting adjourned to Sat'
