The informal meeting of the city council
Friday night witnessed a free-for-all glscus-
hlon of the tax le\y for the new year.
Speeches were made by representatives of
departments of municipal government and
by several members of a committee repre-
bemlng the North Omaha Improvement c ub ,
which organization Is clamoring for Improve
ment of north end parks.
It was presumed that this meeting would
be largely attendci by heavy taxpayers ; or
the purpose of beseeching the council not
to make a largo levy , but the representation
of this clans was light , R. C. Patterson even
being silent N'o protests were entered.
At the close of the speech-making the
members of the council adjourned to a com
mittee room and figured on the levy. The
several funds were considered one by one
and the following preliminary draft resulted ,
the figures being mills and fractions thereof
General , 5 , curb , guttering and paving.
* > htreet cleaning and sweeping. .C5 ; eewcr
maintaining. .20 , health , .25 , judgment , .10 ,
ark. .76 ; library , .50 , sinking. 5.6U ; water ,
' . ' 79 , lighting. 1.9C ; police. 250 ; fire , 350 ;
making a total of 21.64 mills , which , with I
mills added for schools , aggregates 2S.C4
millb.
This Is an Increase of 3 61 mills over the
levy of last jear , and the proceeds will bt
Btlll further Increased by tbe fact that the
valuation this 5car is greater than It was
a ) car ago. The figures'suggested at Friday
night's meeting nre only preliminary , ami
It Is likely that tbe pruning knife will be
applied In several places. Several of the
members of the council expressed themselves
ns believing the aggregate is too high. U
U expected that a cut of 1 mill will be tuado
In the general fund , and an elfort will bu
madu to find other opportunities for reducing
the levy. City Attorney Connell declared
the 2S G4 le\y exactly right , but bcvcral
aldermen seemed to think there ought to
bo u reduction , although they contested
tlienwelves as being puzzled to know just
whcro to make the cut The levy will be
tlUulIy determined at a regular meeting of
the council Tuesday night.

but that would mean a curtailment of the
library's useiulness-to Its patrons.
City Attorney Connell said the legal de
partment would ask no Increase over last
year. He called attention to the fact that
Judgments apalnst the city have been re
duced to the minimum , and he saw no reason
to anticipate neceiulty for greater expendi
tures during the year to come. All damage
suits are well In hand , the city attorney ex
plained.
Andrew Rosewater , city engineer and ex-
ofllclo chairman bf the Board of Public
Works , made an extended epeech In which
he urged liberal appropriations for public
work , especially street cleaning Mr. Rosewater -
water declared himself a strong advocate of
cleanllnefe. He suggested that the employes
of tbe street department ahould be put on a
cl\ll service basis and that they should be
given police power in order to take charge
of persons who violate sanitary ordinances.
Among those who pleaded for improve
ment of North Omaha parks were Messrs.
Craig. Klcrstead , Smith , Grattan and Ken
dall. City Comptroller Westberg also had
something to say on behalf of the North
Omaha preposition and declared himself In
favor of making parks for the poor as well
as tbe rich. He said the parks arc the only
recreation ppots for working people.
While the general discussion was In prog-
re b Councilman Stuht found opportunity to
say eome uncomplimentary things about the
public policy of Mayor Moorrs. It was a
somewhat tempestuous outburst , but It
lasted only a moment and scarcely made a
ripple on the otherwise harmonious meet

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
A mass meeting was held at the council
chamber last night for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposed military- boulevard to
Fort Crook. It was well attended and quite ,
a delegation came up from Fort Ctook to I
take part In the proceedings. i
; The meeting was called to order by E. H. '
Howland and Judge J. J. Breen was elected
chairman Mr. Honland was chosen secre
tary. An extended discussion ensued re-
gardlnr the relative merits of the upper or
lower roads. Business men In South Omaha
Joined with the Fort Crook delegation In op
posing the Thirteenth street road and declared - t
clared themselves In favor of the macada- i
mlzlng of Belleue avenue. It was arsertert ,
by members of the Sarpy county delegation i
that the county commissioners of that county
would not be permitted to expend any money
for the grading of Thirteenth Mreet. _ ]
, The beauties of the Thirteenth street !
route were enlarged upon by Judge Breen , I
P. J. Barrett and others and considerable i
enthusiasm _ was manifest at various tiroes
during the evening. John Rush of Omaha
told of the hard work which had been done
to secure the grading of Thirteenth street
from Vlnton street south and of the large
amount of money already spent The boule
vard , when completed , he considered , would
be one of the mcst beautiful In the country.
He was surprised to think that residents of
| South Omaha and In a portion of Sarpy
county would fight tbe proposition when it
had so far cost them little or nothing.
1 Richard O'Keeffe argued for the appropria
tion first. He said it would never do to get
Into a controversy before the bill now pend
ing In congress became a law. After the
appropriation bad been obtained the ques-
tlon of a route could be determined The
clalmb of the different factions could then
I be presented to the secretary of war , but
' the first thing was to secure the money to
pay for the work. He strongly favored the
Thirteenth street route.
It was apparent that the delegation from
the south was not In the majority for when
a vote favoring the Thirteenth street route '
' wan called for there was scarcely a dissent- j
Ingolce. . Resolutions declaring for the
ridge road were passed and Congressman '
Mercer will be urged to secure the approprl- '
(
i atlon for thU road
I It was suggested at this meeting that the
i county commlssionere be rirq ested to ma
cadamize Twenty-fourth street from Q street
to tbe county line In order to do away with
the mud holes on the lower roaa nnd make a
suitable driveway for farmers and others
corning up from the south. This matter
1 will probably be taken up later.
