Speaking of necessary alteration In tb tltjr charter. Mayor Moore (aid: "The moat Important of the amend ment, necessary for the practical opera lion of the city roYernrornt refer to an increair in the charter limitations to he size of certain funda. At the prsa nt time the fire fund la limited to 125, 900. Thl amount la not aufflclent to oper ate the department and the limitation should be increaaed to about $165,000. Thla noe not mean that amount would be re quired at all times, but It could be wisely ?ipendd tome years and It should be made ivallafcle. At the present time the force Inadequate for the beat results and one or more companies should be added. The t'ita now at the disposal of the city would ao little more than pay the wife of the men who ahould be emplored. to say noth ln ' Incidental expenses. The city owns 11 but two of the bouses In which the sompanles are now located, and these housea should be repainted and repaired If tbey are to ba maintained. The appli ances of the department need many re pairs, which cannot be made now for lack of funda. These expenses might not come every year, but when they do come there fhould be provision to meet them. "The limitation on the police fund should be Increased. The force la not large POnugh for the best service and more men should be added when necessary. "The lighting fund and the water fund should both be Increased. There should fee a large number of additional street lamps In various parts of the town, while there are sections of the city practically without fire protection. In most Instance the shortage of Are hydrants is In the suburba where the houses are owned by poor people, people who have thetr sav ings Invested In the homes and because of Insufficient protection are compelled to pay high ratea of insurance. SuKgeeta Slew Parlac Lawi, "Another change which should be made In the matter of paving the streets. At the present time paving cannot be dona except upon petition of property owners. Some of yur best known citizens and leavlest property owners will sign paving petitions and the work will be hardly com pleted before they are attempting to dis cover some way In which to place the ;xptW of the work upon the city at large and to nullify the special asaessmentii. iV'rAt we ahould have Is a system whereby ll1 city council and mayor can order the ',vlng of streets and the property owners te given thirty days In which to file pro- cats. If these protests are found to be sat isfactory the resolution ordering the pav--ng could be repealed. There la ao much roperty owned by non-residents and those .ho have little Interest In the streets butting It that they will not move for avlng, and the council should be In a vsltlon to make them act. x - "Then In the matter of salaries there ithould b some changes. The police judge ' ' hould receive as much salary as a dla- rjet Judge. The present police Judge urns Into the city through Ones and cost our Unas aa much aa his salary and - ''eta as much time to his work, aa asy of .he judgs'ot 'the 'district' bene. ReTere present charter waa enacted be re vived $2,600 a year and there 1 no rea ion why he should not get that much now. t the police court the city prosecutor i ecelves $t00 per year. This salary should ' e Increased to at least $1,00, ao a good awycr can afford to give the work the at ntlon It deserves. a id the city comptroller should not re vive as much Compensation aa the city a.torney, the city engineer and a number tif other officer. They devote their en tire time to the work and $2,500 Is cer tainly not too much to pay for the service. "The fund at the disposal of the Board of Health should be Increaaed, as the health of the community depends upon quick and sometimes very expensive work. The par, board should also have the right to expend mere moody. "The railroads should pay higher taxea thaa they have been doing and there are sevaval other changes which might with advantage be made, but they do not occur to me Just at this time."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Major JlouUaj Calls Meeting of tba Char ter Revision Committee. DISEASED MEAT STORY IS DISCREDITED In realisation Shovra That 5o tehee Ha Pnrrhaaed t ilt Cattle Park ers Keep t p C oal apply Maftlc City Ooeslp. According to the call Issued by Mayor Koutsky, the charter revision committee appointed by the council at Its laat meet ing will meet In the council chamber at 7:30 o'clock tonight. The mayor said yes terday that when the committee assembled he would state the object of tbe meeting and then would announce the election of a president, vice president and secretary a In order. When the organization Is perfected It Is expected that subcommittees will be ap pointed tor te purpose of holding sessions with the different beads of departments In order that the needs of all of the depart ments may be considered separately. The plan la then to have the subcommittees report to the entire committee and the amendments to the charter read and dis cussed. After this is done there will natur ally be another revision before the pro posed amendments are aubmltted to the Douglas county delegation. So' many features are to be brought out that it will take the committee soma time to do Its work If the proposed amended bill Isxto be presented to the legislature In the early part of the session. A politician who happened Into the city hall toward evening yesterday remarked that It was noticeable that those most In terested In framing the present charter had not been appointed on the general com mittee. This, he said, waa taken by many as an indication that the charter as it now stands was framed for the benefit of cer tain individual wjio failed of election or appointment. What the mayor wants I a flat-footed discussion of the needs of tbe city and the amendments placed in such shape that there can be no mistake, should they be come law. Discredits Fabllshed Stories. Within tbe last few days some Omaha sheets have been publishing stories about ths selling of diseased meats within the city limits. When the attention of Mayor Koutsky was called to this matter yester day he said that. In his opinion, the stories were circulated for the purpose of setting public opinion against him because he bad removed Clark Howard from the office of city stock examiner. Tbe mayor said: "Since these reports have come out I have caused a thorough Investigation to be made and I cannot find a single instance where a butcher In South Omaha baa pur chased a piece of diseased meat." Joseph Koutsky, a brother of the mayor, said: "It is a fact that at the request of my brother, the mayor, I assisted In making a thorough Investigation of the statements made by certain Omaha papers, and some local papers as well. I find the statement untrue. In order to give the representa tives trf those papers a chance to make good and prove what they say, I will offer a reward of $100 for the arrest and con vlction of any individual who buy dis eased animals in the city and slaughters the same within tbe city limits. This amount is now on deposit at the Packers' National bank." Continuing, Mr. Koutsfty said that h could be found during business ' hours at bis stor. 415 North Twenty-fifth street. Packers Getting: Coal. Packers are still getting coal right along. although there is no very large supply on hand. Quite a large amount has been re ceived during the last few days, during tbe soft weather, and as the shipments seem to come in with regularity It Is thought here that the mine operators and the railroads are making an effort to sup ply the demand. None of the packers ap pear now to fear a coal famine, unless ex tremely cold weather should set in sud denly. Such a condition. It is said, would block traffic to some extent and thus delay the delivery of coal already on track. For local -coal dealers little If any coal is coming In. Some bituminous oal Is coming from the south, but there Is not enough ' In the yards here now to last through the winter ahould the supply be shut off. As for anthracite, there is none for sale In the city. Little Credeaee Given. A report has been current on the streets for a few days past to the effect that the Burlington was going to build a depot at Thirty-eighth and L. streets. This Is an old story which has been' going the rounds for the laat five years. Rumor has it that the Burlington would erect a depot at Thirty-eighth and L streets and then the street car line would bs extended out Li street so as to make connection with It. Wnen this question was seriously consid ered some years ago engineers examined the Li street viaduct and declared that the structure would not support heavily-laden motor trains, so tbe project was aban doned. The bridge at that time was In much better shape than it la now, so that Jim Damps had breakfast Just j And erery day, about eleven, If jr ijjffiS Ut'i feel so sort of gone and It f V As if he ahould a bracer seek. fy f$V$ To hkhie then t00k " Forc " II JsA) And braced oa that.

William Maxwell Is still lng held at police headquarters while an Investigation into his past Is being made. A few days ago Maxwell appeared in the city and en deavored te secure money from Masons by putting up a tale of woe. The story was so gauxy that be did not surreed except In two or three esse. Instead of leaving tbe city when he had raised about US Maxwell proceeded to get drunk and wss arrested. When searched receipts far dues in the Masonic lodge at rikevllle, Ky., were found on him, some of tbe receipts being dated as far ahead aa 1906.
