BIDS FOR THE CASS SCHOOL They Will Bo Recamd Until Eight O'Olock ' p < in * on May ? .9i CONTRACTS WILL THEN BE AWARDED Architect Ulrlcli I'rnpoxci n IMntt fur ( JrnilliiK Down ( he I'rcNcnt Hlcli School Slip Twenty Keel. Elds for the construction of Iho now Cass nchool the , first of the school buildings which arc to bo erected this year will bo received until S o'clock p. in. on May 29 , and the award of the contracts will bo made nt a special meeting of the Board of Edu cation on the evening of that date. Secre tary Glllan of the board will publish the ad vertisement for the bids at once. This was decided upon at n spcclnl session ot the board last night. While the purpose of this special meeting was to settle this matter , as well M to niako some slight modifications In the speci fications for the building as submitted by Architect Latcnscr , the board spent but a few moments upon It. The greater part of the evening was devoted to Iho consider ation of the Improvement of the High school grounds. The discussion of this matter was precipitated by a report from Landscape Architect Ulrlch , who laid out the grounds of the exposition last year and Is retained for similar work on the exposition grounds this year. To Cut HIMVII ( lie HIM. Mr. Ulrlch visited the grounds recently In company with some of the board members and made a thorough examination ot them. AH n result of his Investigation ho submit ted plans by which tome twenty foot will bo sliced off the top ( if the hill. K this cut Is made , the level of the grounds on the south will be about oven with the Dodgr street retaining wall ; on the west It will run from this level at Twenty-second and Dodge to a depth seven feet below Twenty- second at the corner of Davenport ; on the north the grounds will run from this depth to the grade of Davenport street near Twenty-first ; on the cast the level of the grounds will be about 200 feet above Twentieth street. This recommendation was made , as Mr , Ulrlcli sold , on his understanding that Dodge street Is to bo graded down , which would nlsb result In the cutting down of Intersecting Btrcels. If this giadlng Is not done on these streets , Mr. Ulrlch said that ho would not advise such a cutting of the hill because It would bring the level of the grounds below the street grade. Before any f thing Is done ho etrongly advised that no action bo taken until a very caretul cxatnlna tlon of the situation Is made. Mr. Ulrlch did not go much Into detail on his plans , ns ho did not have sulllclcnt tlmo to consider the situation carefully. He said , however , that If the twenty-foot cut Is'mado , the 200-foot ( ( scent on the east eldo of the ground should bo mounted by three terraces , which will glvo a gradual and easy ascent by otatrs. Ho also advised that the new building bo moved back twenty-five or thirty feet to the west , so that a level plot about forty feet In width shall lie In fronl of the building. This will not destroy the athletic field nt the west end , as It will re main 250 feet In width. In fact , Mr. Ulrlch said that the grounds will contain much mere actual space as a result of the cut. The landscape architect was given a vote rf thanks for his work , ns ho states that ho did not Intend to present a bill. After omo discussion , a motion was made thnt ho he employed to lay out a plan of the ; grounds on the basis of n twenty-foot cut but It was finally decided not to settle this P matter until It could ho more thoroughly considered , especially regarding1 the possi bility pMhe jratllpg'Of Dodge < atreet. There fore the whole matter was turned over to a tpeclal commlttco with Instructions to re port at the next meeting. The committee consists cf Black , Hay ward and Hess. Niuncx on ( lie IluIlilliiKM. Omaha public school buildings will In the future carry their names In bolcl-faced typo Instead < f being labeled simply "public school. " cs In the past , each will have Its name cut In stone. The first school t < -come under this now rule will bo the Cass street building , which will be known as "Cass school. " This was decided upon be cause it was stated that many Omaha cltt zcns do not know the schools In the city. The bond of Architect McDonald In th < sum of $10,000 , furnished by the Natlonu Surety company , was referred. The old Long school nnnex , which wns re cently partially destroyed by fire , was ordered dored repaired and removed to the Lothrop school site. The building will bo used to relieve the attendance at bath the Lothrop and Lake schools. With this annex so lo catcd , the board will not need to rent store buildings for a Lake school annex , as I does now. The board also ordered the For Omaha annex repaired and removed to the Saratoga school. This wlU'ennblo the bean to establish an eighth grade class at th Saratoga school , as north side residents have petitioned. School Hoard According to the report of the city treas urcr the balance In the school fund on May 1 amounted "to but $1.220.41 , against wblcl stand Interest-bearing warrants to th amount of $5,332.77. An Invitation to the board members to participate as n body In the Memorial day service ! ) of the Grand Army of the Rcpubll was accepted. J. S. Stone resigned ns Janitor of the Windsor school nnd John Cnso was appointed io temporarily succeed him. IlcncntN CrlMeUm of I'renlilen ( . OMAHA , May 8. To the Editor of The Bee : I have been much disgusted durlnf , the last few weeks to hear and see In the public press so much uncalled for criticism of the ndmlnlstrntlon In tlui conduct of tin Philippine rebellion.

The feature of last nlglit s council meetIng - Ing was a tilt between Counctlmen Johnston and Kelly In regard to the sale of $70.000 of fui 'ng ' and refunding bonds. Tralnor of the finance committee reportol that the com mittee had negotiated the sale of the bonds In question at G per cent Intercut and a bonus of $350 , Cashier Morlarty of the Pack ers' National bank having agreed to take the nnmo nt the figures mentioned. As soon as tlio report wns read Johnston moved that It l.o adopted and this brought Kelly to his fee ! . Ho asserted thnt the city ought to make a much bettor bargain and suggested that the city clerk be authorized to adver tise for bids for the bonds. In reply to Mr. Kelly's statements , John ston called attention to the sale of $35,000 of funding bonds and $12,000 of refunding boiidn Inst fall. The records showed , John ston asserted , that Kelly liad been one of the prlmo movers In this sale and that bids were not advertised. In addition to this thcso bonds were refunded at C per cent in terest , whllo the rate now offered by the finance commlttco was 1 per cent lower and n premium greater thnn that of last year. The two ordinances authorizing ttio sale of last year's bonds , Johnston said , wore passed under n suspension of the ruled and he could not understand why any objections could bo raised at thla tlmo when the rate of Interest was lower and the bonus larger. Furthermore , the commlttco of last year which was In charge of the bond transac tion bad not snld ono word In Its report about ttio amount of Interest , mciitlonlnR only the premium. In conclusion , Johnston assorted that Omaha and South Omaha bank ers had told him that these bonds could havo' been easily placed last fnll at r > per cent , which would have meant a saving lethe the city ot $1,700. In reply Kelly called on Trninor , but thnt Individual refused to become mixed In the argument and reeumed his scat after saying that Kelly wns n member of the body a year ago'the s.nmo as he'was. In defense of his position Kelly then said the matter had been referred to the mayor , city treasurer and ttio finance committee. Ho could not understand why Johnston declined to adver tise for bids as Is customary In other cities. Johnston denied that this was the universal custom and especially In South Omaha. He further asserted that Kelly had made no attempt to advertise for bids a year ago and ho could not understand his anxiety in that regard this year. Kelly then alleged tlini Johnston had control of n combine In the council and was working It for all It was worth. This riled Member Fltle from the Second ward and ho seized the opportunity to sa > n few kind words In reply. Ho asserted that Kelly had not only insulted himself but the other members. As far as his vote went ho voted on his own convictions and did not allow nnyono to dictate to him. When this llttlo war cloud had blown over the differ ence of opinion was referred to the city attorney that either the finance committee hnd a right to act or the council could ad- vcrtlso for bids as It saw flt. The roll was then called on the adoption of the report ot thu committee which recommended that the sale of the $70,000 bonds bo made to F. J. Morlarty at the rate of interest and pre mium mentioned. This wns carried and the bonds will be renewed as per the commit tee's recommendation. In connection with the matter of keeping a check on the acting street commissioner , It was decided to 'havo ' a set of blanks printed so that Mr. Hess can make a dnlly report to ( tie city clerk of all work done and all material used. It Is expected by this method to keep n close check on nil material and work done In the street commissioner's department.

J. A. Beck , the expert accountant who was employed some time ago to chock up the city's books , made n detailed report of his work and showed the financial condition of the city. This report will be mentioned In detail later. A. E. Blank of the Wasp sent In some additional protests against the granting of certain liquor licenses but * no action was taken. The ordinance establishing the grade on O etroet from Twenty-fourth to Twenty- fifth streets was paused. Sidewalks will be laid on Twenty-first street from W to 55 street and from Thirty-second to Thirty- third street on K street. Street Commissioner Ross wan directed to repair a large number of ftlilowalks and also to repair damage to streets caused by the late heavy rains. Acting Mayor Bennett Btated In open ses sion that quite a number of saloon keepers had not paid In the regulation license fee and ho served notice that all saloons not having a city treasurer's report for the amount of the annual tax by C o'clock Thurs day evening would bo closed by the police. Mr. Bennett plated that the council had been very lonlent with some of the llquqor deal ers but those who had paid were complain ing at the Injustice. Ho therefore proposed to see that all saloon keepers paid In the regular fee or closed their doors. Johnston brought up the mutter of the city's livery bills. He stated that these bills had been averaging $100 per month for borne months and suggested a check. A resolu tion that all police officers who hired rigs from livery stnblrs bo compelled to make a report of the occasion along with the re sult of the trip , the time consumed and the cost of thfi rig was carried and the council adjourned until next Monday night. 1 nolt or * Want tlioMult Service.

The Omaha Street Railway company as serts that It receives only a small sum for the carrying of the malls and that the com pensation does not pay for the work and trouble.

The second arrest ot Ernest Bush In Den ver on the charge of having killed Silas Bulley near Benkelman , Neb. , February 7 , has revived the Interest In that case and has created some talk locally because Bush's parents are said tolive In this city.
