South Omaha News While the city council met at neon yts tcrday It did not pass tho $50,000 refunding bond ordinance as per schedule for tho rea son that whllo the document was in tho hands of the Judiciary committee a clerical error wus discovered. Tho error was a trivial one, but had It not been discovered when It was there would have been consld trablo delay In tho delivery of tho bonds. As soon bb tho mistake was noticed an other ordinance similar to the first with only one or two corrections was drafted and at yesterday's mccttag this ordlnuuce was In troduced, while the former wns laid on the shelf. This error put the ordinance back qne day only, as tho council will meet again, tomor row nnd pass It through the second and third reading-!. The hasto In tho matter Is for the pur poso of saving the city Interest. Tho out standing bond which the now Issue- Is to redeem still draw ii per cent Interest, while the proposed Issue draws only I ',5 per cent, This reduction In Interest of ii per cent will save, tho city $7S0 a year, or $7,500" tor ,the ten years which the bonds will run. If tho ordlnanco goes through today, as Is expected, tho histories will bo completed nnd turned over to (1. W. Hoobler, the pur chaser, on Saturday. The, sale will then be virtually completed. A premium of $313 has been offered the rity for thesa bonds by Mr. Hoobler and this will pay for tho lithographing of tho bonds, tho preparation of the histories and nil othor expenses. Tho-clty. will not be to any expense, whatever In taking up tho old bonds nud Issuing new ones ori 'account of (he premium. When Councilman Johnston first' sug tfsted that thU Issue bo placed on the' mar ket at 414 per cent other members of the ;ounell thought that h" salo could not be effected. Hut It wnn and consequently Johnston Is jubilant over tho fact. In af fairs of this kind his Judgment Is consid ered first class, Now when the next Usuo of general Indebtedness bonds comes along, which Is not far distant, Johnston proposes to put twenty-year 4 per cent bonds on the market. Ho says that he Is confident that a sale at this figure can bo made. It this can be dono the saving In Interest to tho slty will bo enprmous. ns In past years one third of tho entire levy has been used to pay Interest ou outstanding obligations. Mut VhcmIp Alley.

Ilrli'f AkiiIiikI Tut L'oiiiinlnnlcmcr. A big brief wns filed today on behalf ot the taxpayers who are questioning In su preme court tho legality of the act which made M. I.

Tho chief points brought forward are: "That tho net. so far as It attempts to prescrlbo the powers nnd ilellno the du ties of the tax commissioner and his dep uties, Is void for uncertainty. "Thot this net U null of force nnd void ot effect because It vlolntcs tho prlncl plea of equality and uniformity In taxation required by tho constitution. "The act under which the defendant seeks to Justify Is void because It Is spe cial legislation prohibited by the conBtltu tlon Thai the act Is violative of section 11 article III, of the constitution. In that It Is not complete In itself and amends other sections without referring to them." Upon each of these propositions Mr. Whcdon devotes a half dozen pages of printed argument.
