South Omaha News .
An important meeting of the city council
wilt be held tonight and lt Is expected that
every member will be present.
First In Importance will come the Intro
duction of the annual appropriation ordi
nance, and It Is more than likely that thts
ordinance will be passed under a suspension
of the rules In order that a clean set ot
books may be opened at the commencement
of the fiscal year on August C. As soon aa
the appropriation ordinance becomes a law
contracts may be entered Into and out
standing claims may be allowed, The levy,
as stated before, will be 55 mills. With the
Utmost economy on the part of the munici
pal authorities the amount derived will
likely see the city through tho fiscal year.
Mayor Kelly proposes to do all In his power
to keep down expenses and lire within the
Income. This will be a bard matter on ac
count of tho small levy allowed for fire and
police purposes, but rigid scrutiny ot ex
pendltures In other departments will possi
bly assist In helping out these two fujds.
The liquor license occupation tax has as
sisted materially In reducing the overlap
left by the democratic administration, as
have also the sums derived from other li
censes. Since Mayor Kelly assumed charge
ot the affairs of tho municipality more
money has been turned Into the city treas
ury for licenses issued than tor a number of
years prior.
Inspectors Jones, Cook and Click are at
tending strictly to business and no permits
are Issued unless the sums provided by or
dinance are first turned Into tho city treas
ury. Tho announcement that tho mayor would
ap;olnt W C. Lambert city attorney and
Henry C. Murphy city prosecutor was ap
parently favorably received In all sections
yesterday. Mayor Kelly says that an cx
perlenced attorney Is needed at the head of
affairs at this time and he has been guided
In his selection by tho demands of the cltt
zens.

It Is understood that a petition Is to be
circulated among the property owners on
Bellevue avenue in the Interest of a pave
menu At a Joint meeting of the special
committee of the city council and the
Commercial club lt was decided that If the
Union Pacific wanted any favors from the
city It would have to agree to pave Its pro
portion of Bellevue avenue, and no Sherman
gravel will go. Tho committee contends that
travel on this road needs a heavy pave
ment and only Colorado sandstone laid on a
concrete base, the same as now being laid
on Vinton strnet, will do. A viaduct across
F street Is also demanded.
As the Union Pacific owns all of the prop
erty on the south side of Bellevue arenuo
It Is considered that It will be an easy mat
ter to secure enough signatures from'prop-
erty owners on the north side to have the
necessary foot frontage demanded by law.
Everyone seems anxious to have a first-class
road Into tho city from tho south, and It Is
now considered that this is the time to se
cure this much needed Improvement.

NEW REGULATIONS IN FORCE
Army- Department .'lakes CIiniii;e in
Travel I'ay Given to Un
listed. Men.
The Bee Is In receipt of a letter from a
private In Company C, Thirty-second regi
ment. United States volunteere, now at
Balanga. I. I., In which the writer, a former
citizen of Nebraska, states that he has heard
that the. United States has resolved to econ
omize by cutting tho travel pay of the men
now In the Philippines.
The complaint of the soldier Is bated upon
a misapprehension ot a change In the law
providing for travel pay, which was mane
bv conzress at Its last session, rrom tne
time the regular army was established until
a few months ago the traTel pay of a dis
charged soldier was based upon tho pre
sumption that In returning home from the
place of his discharge he would march
twenty miles a day, and the allowance was
for as many days as it would take him to
make the trip at the rate of pay he received
while In the service. In addition to this be
received thirty cents a day for commutation
of rations for tho number of days he would
be en route home. This law worked a hard
ship on tho private and benefited the ser
geants. The travel pay under the old rule
worked out on a basis of 1.000 miles travel
would give tbo private (36.67, the sergeant
$43 and the corporal MO.
The recent act of congress abolishes the
commutation for rations and the per diem
and allows all privates and noncommissioned
officers four cents a mile for travel between
the place ot discharge and their homes. This
would give each person J40 on a trip ot l.uou
miles. In tho case of the soldiers In the
Philippines the new law Is not as favorable
as lt is to those at home for, because of the
additional pay for being engaged In actual
warfare, the soldier would receive Ml under
the old rule where he receives hut J40 now.
The correspondent also refers to the two
months' additional pay granted soldiers In
the foreign service. Tho law allowing the
additional pay was passed for the Spanish
war only and by its terras the law has been
Inoperative since tbo conclusion of hostilities
with Spain. It was never applied to soldiers
who enlisted after the conclusion of hos
tilities and never to any soldiers In the
Philippine service.
