DEAL WITH OLD COMPANY FALLS THROUGH .Mine (i Ciinsiillilntc Lines TliroiiKh I'urelinsp Comes to nil Kiul nml Const ruction CintiK He allium Operations, Tho Suburban Motor company put a large force of men at work yesterday placing In tho crossings at the network of railway tracks at Sixteenth avenue and Sixth street. Kvery effort Is to be mado to get the line In fchape to handle tho crowds expected to visit Lako Manawa on July 4. Manager Heed stated yesterday that he hoped to run trains from Sixteenth avenue to the lake next Sunday. For tho present the rolling stock of tho East Omaha Motor company will bo ueed. Ho said It was possible that tho lino would be completed on South Sixth street by that dato and that they would be able to run cars direct from Omaha to the lake, but It will require an army of men to get tho line completed by that date. An officer of the new motor company said yesterday that tho delay in building the lino on Sixth street has been duo to the fact that tho company had up to last Sat urday expected to buy out the old company. Tho deal fell through at tho last moment nnd now tho new company will push the work of completing its line as fast as pos sible. An offer was mado by tho old com pany to sell out nt CO cents on the dollar on $1,600,000 of stock. This was accepted by tho new company and arrangements per fected with n trust company in the cast to securo tho money, amounting to $000,000. When tho ofTlcors of tho now company nnd their financial backers were ready to close tho deal tho directors of tho old company backed down nnd said tho offer had been mado without their consent. They eald that to sell out would result In all likelihood In troubln for tho Omaha Street Railway com pany, as tho latter and tho Omaha & Coun cil Bluffs Railway nnd Bridge company were too closely allied. Relying on the deal going through, the new company had not made cITorts to complete Its lino to the lake, but efforts will bo mado to complete tho line by July 1. A ell on of the Council, Tho city council some tlmo ago passed a resolution to tho effect that tho new motor company boforo tearing up the old pavement when laying its tracks must pay a propor ttonato amount of tho cost of such paving. It was decided that the amount to be paid for tho old cedar block paving should bo 15 cents per yard. Officers of the company nro now objecting to this and insist that the company should not bo asked to pay any thing for this old cedar block paving inas much ae tho city has ordered the etreetR icpaved with brick, its sharo of which the company will bo called upon to pay. The company says it will be doing the property owners a benefit by removing tho old pav ing. Tho matter will bo brought up at the meeting of tho city council Thursday night next, when nn effort will bo mado to Induce tho aldermen to rescind their former resolu tion. Several of tho nldermcn when seen yester day said they would oppose rescinding the resolution nnd that the new company or the old ono would havo to pay the proportion of tho cost of tho old paving as decided upon beforo cither of them would be permitted to tear up one yard In order to lay their tracks, Tho abutting property owners had paid for this paving and it was fair that If a motor company desires to occupy the streets it should at least bo asked to pay its por tion of the original cost of paving. It was reported yesterday that some ot tho property owners on South Sixth street and First nvenuo, who object to tho new motor company running Its lines down these thoroughfares, will take tho matter into the courts and that probably tho company may bo delayed by Injunction proceedings.

Owners of property abutting on Fourth street started the agitation In favor of as phaltum last year when that thoroughfare was ordered paved, but have now changed over to brick. That is, a majority of the abutting property owners havo decided In favor of brick and the minority has given way. Those favoring aspbaltum do so on the ground that It makes a far more desirable paving for residence streets than bricks. They claim that It is much easier kept clean and if properly laid on a good con crete base with light traffic will practically last forever or with but slight need for repair. Leonard Everett In tho largest property owner In the city and owns more property In the Fourth ward than any two persons.

Further, that tho statuto provides a way to contest any election and that the statute being exclusive quo warranto pro ceeding could not bo brought for such a purpose.
