REFUSES TO OBEY COUNCIL
Board of Public Works Unwilling to Give
Up Its Functions.
RESISTS DIVISION OF THE GENERAL FUND
Clinlrinnn of ( lie Ilnnnl Sny * Hint
Orilcrn of the Council In Vlo-
Intlon of HIP Charter Will
Not lie Heeded.
t
A difference arose at Tu6sday nlght'a
mectlns of the city council between that
body and the Hoard of Public Works over
the disposition of money In the general fund
nnd the wllllnsness of the board to cany
out the Instructions' the council. The
matter wag hot settled and promises to
como up again In the future.
The council works under a system of
allotlng to each ward a ccrt-ln portion of
the sum set aside at the beginning of the
year for street Improvements and whenever
any member asks for somcthlnc to be paid
out of his allotment the council as a matter
of fact votes for It. Tuesday night Mercer
introduced a resolution ordering the location
of an arc llsht on West Dodcc street and
the payment therefor for the remainder of
the current year out of the Ninth ward
Allotment. There was some discussion
over the rlcht of the council to divert the
money from the allotments to what would
be virtually the lighting fund nnd the reso
lution failed to pass. i.Mcrccr then said
that ho bad brought the matter up at the
request of the chairman of the Hoard ot
Public Works , as that official had said that
hereafter the board would not carry out
Instructions which Involved the expenditure
of the allotments for anything but street
improvements.
City Engineer Rosewater , chairman of the
( board , said that such was the case and that
he did not think In the first place that the
allotments were legal. The effect of them
was to do away w'llh the functions of tbo
board and vest them In each councilman
for his own ward. This was contrary to
the provisions of the charter.
Mercer then put the question whether the
board would refuse to perform work or
dered by the council when the necessary
funds were iprovlded. Mr. Rosowatcr replied
that that depended entirely upon the nature
of the work ordered and the source from
which the funds wore supplied. Ho was
opposed to the allotment system 'because '
It was wasteful and not In accordance with
the best interests ot the city at large. It
tied up the hands of the board In emergency
work and deprived It of the necessary funds
r for that work. The councllmen were elected
nt largo and not from wards and they could
not legally enter Into any agreement to
divide the city's funds , which were Intended
to bo expended for the benefit of the city
1 as a whole , among the wards. If the coun
cil did so , the board was not bound to obey
its instructions.
Stuht said that the allotment system had
proved a good thing , but the city engineer
replied that It could not bo compared to
the system used in the largo cities of
Europe , whore the city was divided into
districts and a superintendent placed in
charge of each , who was not dependent on
political favor for his position.
Veto of the Mayor.
Mayor Mdorcs returned -with his veto the
resolution authorizing the lighting of the
Btroets for the Ak-Sar-Ben parade at a cost
of $2,500 , the bill to be paid when funds
were available. He stated his reasons in
part as follows :
A prospective deficit of at least $10.000
confronts the city in the lighting fund and
yet the council refuses to take any action
toward cutting down the expenses in that
fund. When the levy was passed over my
Jfpto , memjiers at th < H council'o 'ho voted
"for It assured ithtTclty engineer and the city
physician that they realized that the 'funds '
for their departments wore Inadequate , but
that they would replenish these from the
general fund. When , on account ot the low
levy for the flro fund , the Board of Fire
nnd Police Commissioners was compelled to
close the Harnoy street engine house and
discharge the men on duty there , the coun
cil pledged Itself to transfer $7GOO from the
general fund to the fire fund In order that
the Hamey street company might bo re-
employed. Acting upon that suggestion nnd
promise , the Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners opened the engine house nnd re-
employed the 'men dlscharegd , but no trans
fer of the promised $7,500 has been made.
All of those outstanding promises are as yet
unfulfilled and cannot be fulfilled , elncc all
the available money In the general fund is
I regard the Ak-Sar-Ben parades ns well
nigh indispensable to the prosperity of
Omaha , nnd I believe that the city can well
afford to spend $2.000 or double that amount
yearly In making them a success. I did my
best when the 1899 tax levy was made to
provide funds for this purpose , but my _ veto
of that levy -was overrlden. The available
funds of the city are now exhausted and for
that reason It Is impossible to set aside
J2.GOO for these parades. I regret the ne
cessity of this action , but any other course
would bo Illegal and would bo lacking in
good faith. I therefore veto the resolution.
3 , Mayor.
Blngham eald too wished to correct one
statement of the mayor's. The promise to
transfer $7,600 Into the flro fund had "been
jnado on condition that the money was first
collected from the railroads on the claims
for viaduct and subway7 lighting. The nioney
bad never been collected. Ho was aware that
the council could not pass the resolution
etrlctly accordluR to low , tout ho believed
the people and all the Interests of the city
would sustain the action.
Lobeck eald that the council had at first
fixed the prospective needs of the flre de
partment at $125,000 , but that the mayor
had advised that the amount be cut 5 per
cent. On his'statement that the department
could Bland , lt the cut bad been made.
By a unanimous vote the veto was not sus
tained.
The mayor vetoed a resolution rebating

about half of the Interest on the tuxes ot
1894-189 ! ) inclusive , assessed against the
owner of some property in Hnrtman's ad
dition. Ha declared that the action showed
partiality , was Illegal and Pet a dangerous
precedent. The resolution was pawed over
the veto by n vote of 7 to 1 , on the ground ,
as given by members , that the tax could not
bo collected anyhow , and If a part of It were
remitted the owner would be able to hold It.
The mayor's veto of a resolution authoriz
ing the grading of an alley adjoining the
property of S. I. Jeter nt a cost of not moro
than $200 , In settlement of Jeter's claim
for damagca , was overruled , The mayor
said that the settlement was undoubtedly to
bo desired , but there was no money for the
purpose.
Upon the request of the city treasurer , a
portion of the lntcre.it on the taxes of the
Omaha Drldgo and Terminal company ,
amounting to about $34 , wns remitted , The
amount represents the Interest which ac
crued while the money to pay the taxes was
In the county court.
In the matter of the opening of Twenty-
sixth street , a resolution was Introduced
canceling nil the aisejaemcnU against the
property of O. H. Harr. City Attorney Cou
ncil reported recommending the passage of
the resolution for the reason that $300 had
been assessed against Mr. Harr for the cost
of opening the street and $182 for tbo cost
' of grading It , while grading damages
i amounting to $200 had been allowed him
| by the appraisers. As the supreme court
j i had held that property could not bo both
j benefited nnd damaged , the city attorney
I believed that the offer of Mr. Harr to re
linquish his damages on the canceling of
the assessments wns a very fair one.
City Comptroller Westberg demanded to
know what ho should do when the warrants
which had been drawn agnlnst the assess
ments came In for payment. There would
bo no money to pay them.
Mr. Connell replied that the courts would
order the assessment canceled nnd the coun
cil might as well do It. The comptroller
thought that In that case the money would
bo taken out of the judgment fund , but the
attorney said It would not.
Mr. Weatberg then declared thnt If the
resolution was passed Instructing the comp
troller to cancel the assessments It would
never be carried out. Similar cases had
arisen before and he had refused to cancel
the assessments. The resolution wns then
referred to the finance committee.
ItcpnvliiR of Farmim Street.
The repavlng of Parnam street from Ninth
to Fifteenth street received a check In the
report of the city engineer that the petition
did not bear a majority of the feet - frontage -
ago signatures. The petition would have
been sufficient had the signatures of cer
tain corporations been accompanied by
proofr of the action of the dlrectora au-
ttiorl/.lng tlura. The city attorney hold ? ,
however , that the repaying cannot ba done
under the law while the present paving Is
good.
The report of the city attorney , recom
mending that tbo city do not dispose ot the
portions of Nineteenth and Webster streets
adjoining the property of W. N. Dorward to
him , was adopted.
The veto by the mayor of a resolution
conveying to Metz Bros , a portion of LCQ.V-
enworth street In return for another piece
of property was sustained , as It had been
found that there was a mistake in the de
scription of the property. A resolution
drawn up by the city attorney and satisfac
tory to Mctz Bros , was passed.

As the exposition officials remained awakn
Monday night and listened to the downpour
ot rain that now and then took on all the
characteristics of a waterspout , they pre
dicted serious damazo to the walls of the
lagoon at the grounds ) , the parking upon the
several tracts of land , the buildings and the
grounds generally. Consequently they wcru
not surprised yesterday morning when the }
learned that a section ot thu south wall of
the lagoon , directly south of the Colonial
building , had broken loose and slid Into the
water. Nor were they surprised when they
learned that all the steep banks and ter
races on the bluff tract had been furrowed
and cut up 'by ' the water that for hours
rushed along the ground with the speed of
a mill race.
Yesterday morning there were Indications
that the storm clouds that had been hangIng -
Ing over the city since Sunday and every
now and then spilling out their contents
* ere to break away and bring fair weather
In their wake. The break came , and during
the forenoon the sun shone out bright and
hot , drying up the mud , thus making It
possible for pedestrians to move about the
grounds. It was then the exposition ofll-
clals commenced to make an Inventory of
the storm damage , and they were not long
In discovering that twenty-five feet of the
south wall of the lagoon had caved In , that
the bluff and the north tracts wore cut up
Into gullies and that the roofs of the build
ings had been leaking llko sieves. Men
were at once put to work repairing the dam
ages , but right hero another difficulty was
experienced. Ono hundred men -were want
ed and that many reported , but when they
found that the wages were but 15 cents per
hour , fully seventy-live of them returned to
their homes , refusing to work for less than
20 cents per hour. Those who remained put
In part of the day. but .a number quit during
the afternoon , and It is more than likely
that In order to get men sufficient to do
the -work within n reasonable length of tlmo
an advance will have to too ordered.
While the exposition people suffered from
flood damages , there were others. The Mid
way concessionaires came In for a share of
the wetting , as there was hardly a building
nlong the street that did not leak. In some
where there were pictures , tapestry and
goods kept for sale , the damage was consid
erable. In one cr two Instances the back
water from the street flooded the apart
ments to the death of several Inches , de
stroying floor brlc-arbrac and floor orna
ments.
As a result of the heavy rain the location
of the Indians te again In the air. It had
been determined to locate them on the Blutv
tract , Just south of the Horticultural build
ing , but now It is possible that they may re
main where they are , on the vacant space
south of the Transportation building. When
the storm broke Monday night they wore In
their tepees , which furnished no more pro
tection than If they had been constructed of
ordinary cotton cloth. Within flvo minutes
all the members of the part > were drenched
to tJbe ekln. Their bedding was thoroughly
soaked and they presented a eorry sight as
they waded through the water In going the
short distance from the camp to the Trans
portation building. The Indians themselves
have looked over the two 'locations and ex
press ft preference for the place where they
are now camped. They say that If they
should be moved to the Bluff tract and an
other such a storm should come on many of
them would bo drowned before they could
reach a place of shelter.
SCENES ALO.\J TUB MIDWAY.

Receive * a Ol a Welcome.
When the sun shone out 'bright ' and warm
yesterday morning the spirits of the Midway
concessionaires went up like a rocket. They
brushed up their apartments and again got
ready to do business. During the day they
did fairly well and when the crowds came
at night they made money.
Take tie fat man , Henri Cannon , for
Instance. Whllo ho tips the 'beam ' at nearly
700 ipounds. when he saw the sun shining
he danced about like a supple schoolboy
and reveled In delight at the sight of the
familiar old face.
( At the Streets of Cairo , LaBello Izlaha ,
a young woman from Algeria , arrived and
signed for a nine weeks' season In the thea
ter. She is very ( beautiful and is said to
> be ono of the most accomplished dancers In
the streets. Her dance is the Algerian war
dance and Is full of action , none of which
is Immodest.
( Another attraction at the Streets of Cairo
Is Phillip Sapongl , a photographer. Ho
came from Egypt and is highly educated ,
being able to speak eleven different lan
guages. ( Ho has a system of photography
that is now to this country. In daylight
the picture has a bright slate color , but
when seen at night or In the dark the
object photographed becomes a bright bluish
tint.
In Hagenback's the time over which the
stormy weather extended was devoted to
painting and whitewashing1 the cells In
which the animals are kept. When seen
yesterday they looked as fresh and bright
as though Just put in use. In this show
a number of new animals have arrived
within the past few days , including a pair
of lions , several bears and a troupe of
trained dogs.
Darkness and Dawn was ono of the shows
that did .business during the continued spell
at wet weather. ( Most of the tlmo the place
did considerable business and yesterday after
the weather changed It handled n number
ot Immense crowds. The change in
weather made St. Potter feel In his old
spirits again and even made Satan bettor
humored.
Recently some beautiful electrical effects
have been placed In the Moorish palace ,
adding much to the show. The Passion play
when seen by electric light is more attrac
tive than ever and is becoming ono of the
big drawing cards of the Midway ,
In the building where the Deep Sea Div
ing concession Is shown , filtered water as
clear as crystal has been placed In the
tank and every movement roado by Prof ,
or Mrs. Sorcho can be seen while they work
in the miniature sea. The feature ot this
show is the raising of the vessel and the
methods employed In bringing 'bodies and
other things from the bottom of the pond
of water by the divers.
' 'The Midway , " a bright and newsy eight
page weekly magazine , has made Its appear
ance on the Midway. It is filled with inter

nessed by some BOO spectators. The dance
< waa given In the Transportation building ,
where those Indians who did not participate
squatted down , forming a circle , Inside of
which a couple of dozen of the men wont

was pounded out ot an antiquated drum and
was as devoid ot melody as the strains of a
horeo fiddle. The movements of the dancers
wore wild and wlerd , but they pleased those
iwho witnessed them.
DniTHon County Comoo In.
The latest county to secure space in the

will have no difficulty In making a most

ninny Strim < ' ill
It was an off day at the exposition , be
cause there were no features billed , but not
withstanding this the attendance was much
above the normal. During the forenoon there
was a. fair-sized crowd upon the grounds and
at night it was swelled .by the arrival of
many from the city. The ono thing that was
noticeable was the number of strangers who
visited the grounds. They were more nu
merous than at any tlmo since the first few
days of the show. They all admired tbo
grounds and apparently enjoyed themselves.
Temple of I'nlmlntry.
Dr. Carl Louis Perln's famous' Temple of
Palmistry Is ono of the first places sought
for by nearly all visitors on the grounds.
Dr. Perln , the famous palmist In charge ,
has a reputation that Is worldwide and
many of the visitors who como to see him
are strangers from foreign lands. Every
person who has a reading from Dr. Pcrln
goes away satisfied that his future has
been correctly told.
