CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS !
Propsrty Owners Must Repair Defective
Sidewalks or the City Will ,
APPROPRIATION OF. 81,000 , FOR THE WORK

Defective sidewalks formed the chief
topic of consideration nnd discussion nt an
otherwise rather monotonous nnd featureless
meeting of the city council last night The
city fathers were united In a determination
to commence an active campaign against
bad walks anrt therefore provided the Hoard
of Public Works with the sinews of war
In the shape ot $1,000.
This appropriation will bo used by
the Board of I'ubllc Works In employing
Inspectors to examine walks all over the
city , pick out the bad ones and notify the
adjoining property owners to repair them
If the walks arc not repaired by the prop
erty owners , the city will repair them and
the cost will bo assessed against the ad
joining property.
It was generally admitted that this $1,000
appropriation will not go far In sidewalk
repairs nnd the city engineer said that ho
would stop work as soon as It Is exhausted *
The council , however , expects to raise
money In some way to continue the work.
Just how Is a question , because there Is
hardly n possibility that the levies for the
work done this jear will be paid In time
to permit the council to use them before
next year.
This appropriation offered "Sidewalk"
K.irr an opportunity to Introduce a number
of resolutions ordering the Hoard ot Pub
lic Works to repair sidewalks In the Sixth
ward. The other members of the council
would not permit the Hoard of Public
Works to be hampered by Instructions re
garding the walks that should bo repaired ,
that being left to the board's discretion
Councilman Knrr then agreed to have thu
cost of repairs taken out of the $1,000 tint
has been appropilated for use In his ward
for repairs during the jear Under this
condition the resolutions were adopted , al
though Councilman Hurkley Bounded n warn
ing
"I will vote for these resolutions , al
though the gentleman from the Sixth Is
laying himself liable to removal from this
'body , " explained Councilman Hurkley "We
allotted $1,001) foi the u-te of the Sixth
VMinl , but on condition that but $2 > 0 is
spent each quartet If more Is expended
It Is the duty of the major and cltj at
torney tu tuke steps to remove the offend
ing councilman It is my Impression that
the gentlemin from the Sixth Ins already
exceeded his allowance I would bo sorry
to see'lilm removed from this body "
Conntriiut Woollen WnlUn.
The Board of Public "Works was further
put Into shape to construct wooden walks
by the action of the council in entering
Into a contract with J. 13 Knowles for
the construetlon of all wooden walks or
dered by the city during the coming year
This contract had already been approved
by the Hoard of Public Works It pro
vides for the construcllon of four-foot
walks for 21 cents per llneir foot nnd six-
foot walks for SO1 * ! cenls per llneir foot
An effort will be made to repair under
the contract sjstcm all sidewalks which
the city must fix up when properly owners
refuse or neglect to do so The Board of
Pu-bllc Works was instructed to advertise
for bids for repairing wooden sidewalks
President BInghnm , who Introduced the
necessary resolution , admltlcd that he did
not know whether the plan was practicable
The city fathers gave formal expression
to their intention In the future to hold
property owners responsible for pint nnd
future damages arising from defective sidewalks -
walks This purpose was made known In
the adoption of the following resolution-
Hesolved , That Ihe city attoiney be and
hereby la authorized and directed to notify
the ownois of propertj opposite which per
son il Injuries may havu been or maj heio-
cftoi be sustained by reason of defective
sidewalks , and to tnko such additional pro
ceedings ncalnst such property owners ns
may bo nicessary to protect the city and
hold such ownotB responsible for damages

Injuries
An attempt by Alorcor to authorbe the

After a month In which to consider the

e\-Patrolman James Connell Is now a free
man , Justice Tostci having dismissed two
complaints against him on motion of County
Utorncy Fhlelds , who de-dined to prosecute
Two tonuilalnts were filed agilnst Connell ,
one alleging adultery with Mrs Luella Mat-
cell as an unmuilnd man and the other
the same oftense as a married man A com
plaint against him charging adultery -v\as
dismissed in the police court ind reflled be
fore Justice Cockiell. It went to Justice
Toater on change of venue , the defendant
alleging thnt ho could not secure his just
duos if tried bj the foimer justice- .
County Attoiney Shields appealed at the
request of Justice Foster , Attornej Winters
having filed the complaint. The countj at
torney declined from the ilist to push the
case , but Attorney Winters urged u prose
cution. Tinally Mr Shields said ho was
willing to try the complaint If ho could be
convinced that Connell wore an unmarried
man , No witness could bo found who could
convince him thnt such was the case , so ho
urged the dismissal o that complaint
Having disposed of ono complaint , ho said
the law did not permit the conviction of a
man who is married The law , ho urged , is
defective and It was useless to attempt a
prosecution of tint complaint , so It , too , was
dismissed on his recommendation The
complaint against Mrs Marccll Is still held
in aboynnco In both the polleo and justice
eourts , although the county attorney stated
that he did not believe It just to prosecute
a woman and let the man go free , so It is
likelj that both complaints will bo dis
missed.

spent Tuesday In the city disposing of a
largo lot of surplus scrapers not needed In
his business. Ho nolil them to Kllpatrlck
Hros , who will use them In their oxen-
lions In Wj omlng Mr. WllcoMm had noth
ing to say concerning irrigation In Ne
braska , because he has not boon hero
enough recently to bo Informed. He talked
of matters of Interest to citizens of Omaha
when he referred to the movements of dirt
which nro to be made In this \lclnlty dur
ing the coming jear. '
"During the neu jear 42,000,000 cubic
> nrd.s of dirt will be moved within a ra
dius of r,00 miles , Omaha being the center , "
said he. "This work \\111 bo done In Wjo-1
mlng , lown and Nebraska by the Kllp.Urlck
Hros , the Hennepln Canal , Northwcstem
and nthct companies Theie will be more
railroad building In Iowa this jcar than
In nnj other state In the union and the nn-
jorlty of these lines and extensions nto
directed toward Omnltn It begins to look
llko It will be a great jo.ir for Omilm and
I am inclined to think tint there will 1m
nt least 0110 or two morn toads built Into
this city before the next jear. I know
that the Minneapolis & . St. Louis line Is
arinnglng to foim some , connection with
Omaha It do not know from what point
this connection will be constiuctcd , but
peilnps fiom lies Molnoa , as a survcj of a
line has been made from tint place
"Tho contract that the Kllpatrlck Hrrs
hive Is considered very large , tegirdlcss
of the fact that It Is only roitj-three miles.
It will necessitate the removal of 0 000 000
cubic jmds of dirt This Is ono-boventh of
the tctal amount to bo moved In this pirt
of the countrj At a cost of 120 cenls per
cubic jard It will lequlio the expenditure
of ovei $ S,000,000 to move the 12000000
cubic jards contracted for This will bring
qulto n sum to Nebraska"

Mr Wllcoxon then drifted Into reminis
cence. He said he had acted as n reprc-
sontntlvo of The Omaha Ilee once upon a
time
"It was down In Now Orleans In isni
that I first thought ot The Uee as a live
pnpei , " slid he , "and since then I hive
'never ' forgotten It I was with a friend of
! mlno who was connecled with the Dally
Pli-ajune He wanted mo to go with him
to the Mjeis-CariolI.prlfp fight. 1 had no
ticket and we could get none , riinllj ho
remarked that the box reserved for The

by the Plcnjuno reporters I went as The
