MAYOR HAS NOT AUTHORITY
Hands Tied by Ordinance and Oiroumatancei
Against Increasing Police,
HIS ANSWER TO ALDERMAN BOYER'S PLEA
Will Not Sign Sixth Street PnTlntr
Ordinance Until Court Have De
cided Legal Polnln That
Are No it Pending.
In written communications to tbe city
council last night Mayor Jennings gavo
his reasons for not appointing a mounted
policeman for tho western portion of the city
and for not signing the South Sixth street
paving contract, both of which be had been
Instructed by tho council to do. Doth
communications set out bis reasons at
length.
In tho matter ot his refusal to appoint a
mounted policeman for tho outlying rcsl
denco portion of the city Mayor Jennings
first called attention to tho fact that the
city ordlnanco provides that the police
force shall not exceed fourteen members,
out of which shall bo appointed tho chief,
in addition to the marshal and three dopu
ties, but gives tho mayor In case of emer
gency power to appoint such extra men as
he may deem necessary, Continuing be
eald:
Tho number of deputy marshals was fixed
''o'ptioM of the city council In April.
.? I' 'breo, but as tho revenue of the
city decreased and tho appropriation for
the maintenance of the police and marshal's
department won roduced In 18S9 It was
deemed better to reduce the number of
deputy marshals than to curtnll the police
force, and so the police forco was main
tained at the original number of fourteen
and the deputy marshals reducud to two.
In order to more fully pollco tho city one
of the deputy marshals acted as captain of
pollco and. In reality the reduction of the
appropriation for tho maintenance of these
departments has reduced tho number of
deputy marshals to one, only In case of
emergency the other, tho present captain
of police, doing deputy marshal servlc.
All this has been accomplished and tho
efficiency of the police rorco maintained
and kept within the appropriation only by
the practice of strict economy.
I have endeavored to savo a small amount
each month out of the appropriation to uso
In case of emergency. If an epidemic of
contagious disease should occur It would
take all of the appropriation made for this
year to carry us through it.
Jfo Rraaon for a Change,
After referring to tho fact that It has
not been tbe policy of the department to
police tho outlying districts ot the city, for
want of funds, exoept by special policemen
serving without expense to tho city, the
mayor concludes as follows:
From the above I think your honorable
body will see that even with tho concur
rence of the council In ihn rennrt nf th
committee I did not have the power to
uppolnt an extra policeman, ns, in my judg
ment, thftro was no can nf unmrnncv
and the full quota of policemen had been
tppoinicu una no more couia De appointed
for regular duty until your honorable body
had urovlded for their annolnlmont hv mi.
sngn of an ordinance Increasing tho number
oi inn ponco iorco. iiaving Dy law tne
control and direction of the police force
and belnar Dorsonnllv re.inonnlhl fnr ii
efficiency. I could not In Justice to myself
or tho Interests of tho city remove any of
the present forco to another beat, as It
would leavo tho center of tho city, the lo
cality requiring protection, unprotected.
At tho uresent I hco nn rhAtin-Kl mnril
tlons that wnrrant the extra expenditure
and being made by law a conservator of the
Seace and also having tho control and
Ircctlon of the notice forco. I thlnV It
would have been proper to refer this matter
to me tor an opinion ana report on tho
same beforo the taking of any action by
II1C CUUIIUII.
Concerning; the raving Ordinance.
The communication regarding his refusal
to sign the Sixth street paring contract
gave five reasons why ho thought It best
not to comply with the instructions of the
council, as follows:
First The Omaha Ik Council Bluffs Sub
urban llway company, owning the two
street railway tracks on Sixth street, docs
not Intend to use Sixth street In the use of
Its line. Some months nirn It hnnrnii In r.i.
move said tracks, but was enjoined by a
cltlxen and taxpayer from removing the
same, which Injunction suit Is still pending
in win I'uun.
Second When tho contract for tho paving
of Sixth street was lot by the city council
said street railway company served written
notice on the city council that It would not
pay any port of the expenso ot said paving
for the reason that it did not Intend to me
said street for railway purposes and would
remove Its tracks as soon as It would be
permitted to do so by the court.
Third If the street railway company
could be forced to pay its portion of the
paving the expense of the balance of the
paving could no doubt bo assessed against
the abutting property, but without such
payment by the atreot railway company the
whole cost of the paving of the street would
exceed the benefits accruing to a great deal
of tho property on said street and would
exceed 25 per cent of the actual value of the
same, and the result would be that a greet
Sortlon of the expense of the paving of
Ixth street would havo to be paid out of
funds derived from general taxation.
Woill Stick the City.
Fourth If the paving should be put down
and the portion between tho tracks and one
foot on tho outside thereof should bo as
sessed up to the street railway company,
and the court should finally determlno that
suld street railway company had a right to
removo Its tracks and that tho railway com
pany would not be liable for such assess
ment, then all of the cost levied aeulnnt the
railway company would have to be provldud
for In some other way, and It Is a question
as to whether or not the city could assess
nny portion of It against abutting property
after the assessment for the street Im
provement had already been made and cer
tified. Fifth In the event that the court should
decide that said street rallwuy company
should have the right to remove Its tracks
after the pavement hud been put down and
assessed It might he posslhlo that the rail
way company wouia not uo rcquirou to re
place the paving, and In that ovent the city
would be nt an extra expensn of luylng tho
puvlng between the tracks twice.
In view of these uncertainties and the
probability If tho puvlng Is put down of
subjecting the city In general to great an
noyance and a burdensome expense, In my
Judgment the contract for paving Sixth
street should not be signed until the litiga
tion In regard to the railway company's
possession of said street Is finally deter
mined by the courts. The city has had
notice from said railway company that It
does not desire or Intend to use Sixth street
for street railway purposes, and If the
courts decide that said railway company
has a right to removo Its tracks therefrom
It Is questionable whether or not the city
could forco It to nay any exnenso result
ing from the lavlnc down of the uavlne on
said street. Consequently, I do not think,
bb a business proposition, that tho city

ought to enter Into any contract for the
paving of said street until the questions
beforo the court aro finally determined.
The communications were ordertd re
ceived and placed on file after Mayor Jen
nings had explained that he bad no Inten
tion to veto tho Sixth street paving con
tract, but only desired that the matter be
delayed until the pending litigation In
which tho motor company is involved bo
out ot tho way.
City and Car Service.
City Solicitor Wadsworth submitted his
opinion as to tho right ot tbe city to com
pel tho motor company to furnish the serv
ice demanded by residents in the south part
of town living along tho Manawa line. Ills
opinion was to the effect that thero Is no
question but that the city has a right to
demand of a street car company that It
run trains frequently enough to accommo-
dato tho general traveling public and with
certain limitations the council would havo
authority to require tho motor company to
increase tho number of trains on the part
of tho lino asked for In the petition filed
with the council. In case, however, tho
traffic would bo insufficient to remunerate
tho motor company the courts would
likely, he hold, rule such a demand on the
part of tho city unreasonable. No action
was taken on tho petition and the opinion
of the city solicitor was ordered placed on
file.
Tho city clerk called attention to tho fact
that he was prepared to publish tho ad
vertisement for bids for tho asphalt pav
ing, but that the council had failed to de
termine tho date by which tho contracts
should bo complotcd. In the absenco of
Alderman McDonald, tho matter was laid
over until tho next meeting.
Tho special commlttco which hud tho
matter In hand reported that tho County
lloard of Supervisors had agreed to remit
tho penalties duo on the city properly and
that tho county treasurer bad been In
structed to accept tho taxes, less the pen
alties. The total amount duo on city prop
erty was 92.065 and the remission of the
penalties will reduce this about 40 per
cent. The taxes wero ordered paid and the
city auditor Instructed to draw warrants
for the same on the general Improvement
fund.
Alderman Lougeo's ordinance fixing the
price of electric lighting was Introduced
and referred to tho committee of tho wholo.
Lougeo explained that the ordinance sim
ply Intended to regulato tho prices charged
by the old company pending such time as
the Bluff City Electric Light and Gas com
pany would be prepared to commenco busi
ness.
The Willow Springs Brewing company
was given permission to conduct saloons at
613 and 1021 West Broadway.
Regulation for Minors.
Colonel Hogeland addressed tho council
on behalf of two ordinances which ho sub
mitted for 'passage. One ordlnanco Is to
prevent the Incarceration of boys and girls
under 18 years of ago with old and hard
ened criminals, and tho other Is to re
quire the chief ot police to apprehend all
tramping or vagrant boys and girls who
might bo found lounging about railway
depots or yards, places of amusement and
elsewhere. Both proposed ordinances wero
referred to the city solicitor.
Attorney George Hewitt submitted a
proposition to sottle two suits pending
against the city which are assigned for
trial In the district court this week. One
involving a lot on the south sldo of Broad
way, a portion of which Is cut off from
access to Indian crook, he offered to sottlo
by tho city buying the cut-off triangle for
100.
Tho other suit Is for damage to a dwell
ing n-nd bv tho State Lud Improvement
company at 1303 Avenue B from tho over
flow of Indian creek In 1899. This suit
ho offered to settle tor 1100. tho actual
cost of repairs to thebulldlng and prem
ises. Both propositions wero referred to
tho Judiciary commltteo and the city so
licitor with power to act In tho second
ono.
The ordinances providing for the ap
pointment of a ctty electrician nad plactmt
alll electrical construction under his con
trol wero brought up, but after somo dis
cussion again laid over. Aldormnn Boyer
opposed them on tho ground that tho
rv.nii rinrlvnd from tho fees Imposed
undor tho second ordlnanco would be In
sufficient to defray the additional expenses
tho city would Incur under tho Orst.

llsh his Innocence of any wrongdoing. De
tectlve Weir was selected by the court, and,
In company with the stranger, went to

out anything. All that Is known Is that
the man waa released late yesterday after
noon.
The stranger Implied that bis business
was In concectlon with the "secret serv
Ice," but what "secret service" the police
were unanio to learn irom mm. lie is sain
which he claimed was his right one, but

Frnll Tree Contracts.
The trial of tho suit of D. J. Fogarty
against Sam Olson of llartlngton, Neb., to
recover $200 on an alleged contract for the
sale to tho defendant of fruit troes was
commenced In tho superior court yester
day beforo Judge Aylesworth.
Nelson repudiates tho contract on the
grounds that ho gavo the order nt tho
solicitation of plaintiff's agent simply to
be used as hn advertisement by the latter
to aid him In securing further orders from
farmers in that vicinity on tho under
standing that tho order was to bo roturned
to him ntter two dayB. Nelson alleges
that when ho applied to tho agent for the
return of tho order, thn latter told him ho
had sent It In with tho other orders ho
had obtained.
An attempt to introduco tho contract
as evidence was resisted by tho defense on
tbe grounds that It did not bfar a revenue
stamp, and arguments on this polut were
pending when court adjourned for the
day.

Cough,
Lung Chills,
Hemorrhage.
"I have been troub
led for several years
with bad cough. I
had lung chills and
slight hemorrhage of
the lungs. My moth
her and two sisters
died of consumption
and I expected the
same fate. I tried
Dr. Kay's Lung
Balm and it entirely
cured me of my
cough and soreness
of lungs, That tired
sleepy and drowsy
feeling is gone and
my appetite is good.
I feel well and full
of life. I can work
night and day
and not feel
tired. I write this
hoping if any read
ers who are similarly
afflicted and have
been unable to get
relief from any other
source will try this
excellent remedy, I
will defy any one to
produce a medicine
for lung trouble, ca
tarrh or indigestion
that will equal the
quick relief and per
manent cure that
Dr. Kay's Lung
Balm and Dr. Kay's
Renovator will give,"

founder of the Oma

Hare it always with you.
This box just fits the pocket. If
your throat tickles, you wet
your feet or clothes, or have a
slight cough, don't neglect it.
Let one of these tablets dissolve
in your mouth. Remember how
much easier it is to prevent
Pneumonia, Bronchitis, La
grippe or Consumption than it
is to cure any of them. Nine
cases out of ten of this terrible
disease can be traced back to
slight exposure. Mr. Smith's
cure of his bad cough for many
years is the same experience of,
thousands of others who have
tried this greatest of cough rem
edies, Dr. Kay's Lung Balm.
Try it. The following promi
