NO PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF COSTS
Chief of Poller Kxpliiln -'nil Delivery
T Declaring llir .lull ti lie In
secure Oilier Item of Ucnernl
Interest from Mnnlc City.
If tho city council adheres to tho opinion
filed by City Attorney Lambert with the
city clerk yesterday Improvements to
streets nnd alleys will be Impeded for tho
time being until somo provision Is mndc for
tho grading of street and alley Intersec- I
tlons. Recently a petition was filed with
tho council asking tbnt Twenty-seventh
atreot from H to C street be graded. When
the document was presented It was re
ferred to tho street and nllcy committee 1
nnd tho city nttorney for consideration.
In connection with this petition Mr. I.am
bert writes tho council as follows:
"I herewith return to your honnrablo
body tho petition to grade Twenty-seventh
treot from II to (I street. In reference to
street Improvements tho laws of IflOl pro- I
vldo that surh Improvements shall not be '
ordered unless there n,ro sufficient funds
Available to pay for tho street and alley
Intersections nnd such other portions of
tho streets or alleys to bo Improved ns nro
not subject to Hpeelnl taxation."
While upcaklng of this communication
Mr. Iambert said: "I find that no pro
vision has been mado by tho city for the
payment of tho costs of these. Intersection
gradlngs. It Is needless to add that until
mich funds nro provided nothing further
ithould bo ilono In the matter. I think It
Is discretionary with tho council to pro
vldo or not to provide, for the Intersection
charges In Improvement districts. Tho
filing of the proper petition nnd the ro
quest therefor does not, In my Judgment,
impose tho nhnoluto nnd Imperative) duty
to provldo funds for tho payment of Inter
section charges, However, tho falluro to
provide or to havo funds to meet such
'charges might, In my Judgment, absolutely
prevent legal netlon upon n petition to
Improve streets or nlleys."
Under this ruling It will, the chances nre,
be necessary In tho future to Issue bonds
to pay tho cost of Intersection grading when
Improvements of this kind nro petitioned
for.

Woman's Work in Club
How to Increase funds for the current
work and for the annuel program Is vexing
Nebraska clubwomen. It Is an obstinate
financial problem and after a year's con
sideration there Is no certainty that It will
be settled to the satisfaction of all. The
plan that was presented at tho Lincoln
meeting and the one which will probably
bo adopted at tho Wayne convention con
templates an lr.creaso In dues from 12 for
each club of fifty or moro with Jt for
each additional fifty or major fraction
thereof, to J3, with tho same rato for addi
tional members. It Is doubtful, however,
If evon this Increase will meet tho exigen
cies of tho coming year.
Besides this various other plans have
been suggested, all of moro or less merit,
but n good part of the clubwomen of the
state express conviction that tho levying
of at least n 10 cent jjcr capltn tax In ad
dition to tho present dues Is the only wily
of raising tho necessary Increase nnd dis
tributing tho responsibility equally nmong
the women. Several state offlcers share
this opinion. With the clubs added this
year, tho federation Includes 114 clubs nnd
has a membership of 4,000 women. If tho
proposed amendment cnrrles It will lncreaso
tho fund only $113, giving nn nnnual Incomo
of something under $400, whllo a 10 cent
per cnplta tnx In nddltlon to the present
due would glvo something over $fi00, a sum
nmplo for all expenses, and would be felt
but llttlo by the women. While this prop
osition has never como up for discussion
In the federation meetings It was genorally
favored at Lincoln last year by tho ma
jority of tho delegates when discussed In
formally, -but tho larger clubs of tbo stato
opposed It.
Tho question Is asked; How has the worlt
been so successfully carried on In the past
Until this year the outgoing administration
has been compelled to drnw In advancn
upon tho dues paid for tho following yenr
to meet the obligations Incurred during Its
term and so leavo a serious handicap to Its
successor. Ono yenr n voluntnry 5 cent per
cnplta contribution was nsked for nnd ro
colved nnd fully two-thirds of tho orlglnnl
contributors repeated their offering this
year.
Thanks to this help nnd tho excellent
management and pcrsonnl liberality of tho
present administration, this year's work
has been successfully cnrrlcd on and tho
next administration will find tho dues for
tlio year of 1001-1902 untouched. This, how
ever, has not been accomplished without
a generous giving of tlmo by tho board, In
addition to tho serious Incenvenlcnce of
working nltnost entirely by mnll nnd with
out n yenr book, which largely Increased
tho correspondence. Thcro has been but
one occislon this year when oven tho rail
road fare of tho offlcers has been paid to
n board meeting, nnd whllo tho board has
cheerfully given Its tlmo and money thoro
nro not many, oven nmong the most en-
thuslnstlc women, who could or would afford
tho expense. Such a condition Is n mennco
to tho orgnnlzntlon, for It plnccs an Incum
brance, upon tbo offlcers which few nro
able to bear.
Tho 10-cent tax would entirely overcome
this condition.
To tho clubs that belong to tho general
federation, paying 10 cents per capita to
that organization, nn additional state tax
would mean considerable. Especially
would this bo truo of tho largo clubs, as
tho sum la paid out of tho club treasury.
It was upon this point that so much feel
ing wns aroused nt Lincoln last yenr, nnd
hut for tho known opposition of tho Omaha
Womnn's club nnd other lnrge clubs It Is
probnblo that this plan would havo been
proposed nt that meeting, as the Lincoln
clubs so strongly favored It. This objec
tion on the pnrt of the Omahn club, tho
strongest In tho state, has exposed It to
tho severe criticism of many, who accuso
tho Omaha women of selfishness and a lack
of tho truo club spirit. While enjoying

the best advantages of the state, as they
do, they aro accused of refusing to sharo

tho other hand, tho Omaha club contends
that whllo It has tho greatest advantages It
also has the greatest demands upon It;
that In addition to Its local work, It al
ways has done nnd Is still doing, more for
the stnte than any other club In the federa
tion. It has nnnually contributed $.10 to
tho support of the federation's traveling

will probably bo expected to contlnuo that
