Joint Committee of Beal Ftata Exchange
and Commercial Club Meets.
PAVING AND TAXATION UNDER DEBATE
Eiprn to Prepertr Owner aad
Cltlsene IMaroeeed at Length tad
One or Two Point
Paaaed t pon.
Eight of the fifteen members of the Joint
committee of the Commercial club, the
Real Estate exchange and the citizens were
present at the meeting at the Commercial
club rooms last night. The Joint commit
tee organized by electing W. L. Sclby
chairman and J. B. Piper secretary.
As soon as the organization had been
effected the committee unanimously de
cided to confine Its attention to charter
changes, and the first matter brought up
was the question of paving. H. W. Yates
suggested that some way should be devised
for collecting the special taxes which have
In some cases been declared void by the
courts, and Inquired If it were not possible
for the legislature to pass a curative law
which would affect the taxes at present
outlawed. The matter was discussed at
length Informally and Mr. Yates suggested
that If this were Impossible It might be
well to reward those who had paid the
taxes by providing that repavlng In such
cases should be paid for one-half by the
city and the other half by the owner of
the abutting property. ,The matter was
referred to the chairman of the meeting,
with Instructions to consult J. H. Adams,
the assistant city attorney, who has bad
charge of the tax rases, and report to the
next meeting of the committee.
Kipenae of Iteiiartng,
The committee then unanimously en
dorsed that proposed amendment to the city
charter which was presented at the last
mcotlng of tho state legislature changing
the law relating to the paving and repavlng
of streets and alleys, after an amendment
to the bill proposed by John Steel had been
adopted. This amendment provides for the
retention of the present law requiring the
owners of abutting property to pay the
coat of repairs, and amends the present
law by providing for the assessment of the
cost according to the frontage on the atreet
repaired.
Upon motion of W. S. Poppleton the com
mittee unanimously declared against any
Increase In any of the funds of the city,
with the exception of the fire fund, and be
fore deciding upon that asked for further
Information. Mr. Poppleton salC that with
the present limitation It la possible to pro
vide adequate fire protection by borrowing
from funds which are never exhausted dur
ing the year, and that this process would
be safer than Increasing the fund, even
though It might be Irregular.
The committee, also upon motion of Mr.
Poppleton, declared agalnBt any Increase In
the limitation upon the bonded Indebted
ness of the city and specifically declared Its
opposition to any change which would place
the limitation either to the bonded Indebt
edness or to any of the funds upon a per
centage of the assessed valuation, declar
ing that the present system of expressing
those limitations In specific amounts satis
factory. Decide to Evade Politics.
After one of the members offered a mo
tion referring to tL. .enure of office of the
city officials It was decided, but not unani
mously, to confine the work of the com
mittee to those parts of the charter di
rectly affecting property and property
rights, and to leave the questions which
referred- to the political affairs to other
bodies or to the legislators.
A motion was adopted declaring that the
city should pa the premium on the bond
of the city treasurer.
The chairman reported that the question
of the ''scavenger law" bad been referred
to H. W. Pennock for an opinion and that
It would probably be presented at the next
meeting.
It was arranged to meet the members of
the Douglas county legislative delegation at
luncheon at the Commercial club rooms
at noon Tuesday and the committee ad
journed until 11:30 that day, when a short
session will be held to listen to reports
previous to the meeting with the legisla
tors. Those present at the meeting were W.

WEDDING IN SYRIAN COLONY
Ceremony Conducted bw Father Aboad
Is One I'nnanal la This
Country.
The Omaha Syrian colony wis out In
full force yesterday afternoon to attend
the wedding of Nicholas Aboud and Miss
Wad I ha Schabuok, a belle of the colony,
which took place at the borne of her
brother, Jabra Schabuok, on South Thir
teenth street.
The ceremony was one unusual In this
country. It wss performed by Rev. Ellas
Aboud, the resident Syrian priest of the
Roman Catholic church, but not after the
rite of the western church, a the Syrian
Catholics who own allegiance to the see of
St. Peter are permitted to follow the rite
of the church as established In apostolic
times, or a few years later, near Mount
Lebanon, from whence come the people
over whom Father Aboud Is In charge.
The liturgy differ In several essentials
from that of the western church and the
language of the ritual Is Arabic and Greek.
For the ceremony yesterday the principal
room of the house had been set aside and
decorated. At the time of the service a
large number of the invited guests took
their places around the room, each holding
a lighted candle, which were kept burning
until the ceremony was In progress. The
bride and groom took station before the
priest and both, with matron of honor and
groomsman, knelt during the service, which
lasted for considerable time.
After the ceremony came a scene char
acteristic of the "homeland" of the Syrians.
While the Intimate friends were pressing
forward to congratulate the couple, a num
ber of the young men began a aong, partly
written and partly extemporaneous, in
which they praised the groom and told of
his good qualities. This bad barely ended
when a doxen or more of the young women
began a similar aong In honor of the bride,
the chorus being similar to that of the
song of the men, both male and female
voices Joining in It.
After the song came refreshments. In
addition to the potatlona and confections
usual on such occasions, there had been
Imported some confection from Asia, and
these were highly prised.
ESTIMATE LIBRARY1XPENSES
Board Decides to Ask Coaarll for at
Levy Which Will Prodnc
920,000.
The regular monthly meeting of the
public library board last night, aside from
routine matters, was devoted chiefly to
discussion of the annual report of the sec
retary and the estimates of probable ex
penses for the coming year. The esti
mates, which were gone over Item by item,
figured up a total of $24,039, and a resolu
tion was therefore adopted asking the
council to levy a tax for the library fund
that will produce $20,000, the full limit
under the charter. The question of closer
classification of the monthly accounts was
referred to ths executive committee and
bills audited to the amount of S1.2S6.23.
which, according to the comptroller's ex
hibit, will practically exhaust the remain
ing balance to the credit of the library for
the year 1902.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Large Force Rapidly Removing Debris from
Stock Yards Fire.
PLANS FOR REBUILDING NOW UNDER WAY
Before the gnaoke of Blsr Fir Ha
Cleared Away Architects Are
Basy DealfalntT ftew
Strnctares.
Cleaning of the debris from the fire-!
tne stock yards began early yesterday
morning and as the day advanced the
working force was Incressed. By night a
portion of the ground occupied by tbe big
sneep barn had been removed of all
wreckage, leaving the vitrified brick floor
to tell where the barn bad stood. As soon
as tbe wreck of the big barn Is taken away
the workmen will be directed to the smaller
barn, which was also destroyed, and it
Is expected that the entire wreckage will
be cleared by Sunday night.
Enterprise was shown by the stock yards
management yesterday, when posts for
new building were being set as rapidly aa
tbe portions of the old buildings were
being torn away.
Last night Chief Engineer King of the
union Btock Yards company said to a re
porter for The Bee that the barns de
stroyed would be replaced within six days,
while the barns were burning General
Manager Kenyon was telegraphing ordera
for material and members of the yards en
glneer corps were busy preparing plans
lor a new structure.
The Nebraska Telephone company sus
talned quite a losa by the burning of sev
eral poles. Manager Holland said last
night that the usual service would be re
sumed at noon today, as men were working
night and day to lay In cables and repair
tbe damage done to the company's lines by
tne nre.
While the cost of the burned barns did
not exceed $50,000, It Is estimated that the
expense to replace the structure will be
considerably more on account of the In
creased price In material.
From sources unknown the report has
been sent out that the sheep dipping plant
at the stock yards her had been damaged
by the fire of Thursday. This la Incorrect.
The firemen stopped the spresd of flames
before the dipping plant waa reached. No
damage waa done to this Important branch
of the sheep yards. Sheep will be handled
and dipped here from now on aa If there
had never been a fir. Shippers can aend
consignments to thia market with the as
surance from the management that all
sheep arriving will be carefully taken
care of.
Money Finally Arrives.
Yesterday Bruce McCulloch, president of
tbe South Omaha Library board, was noti
fied by an agent of Andrew Carnegie that
his donation of 150,000 for a library build
ing in South Omaha was available at any
time. The board here will draw on Mr.
Carnegie's agent for money In blocks of
$5,000 aa the work of the building ad
vances. It is understood that the con
tract has already been let and that work
will begin aa soon as the weather permits
Mr. Carnegie's donation has been hanging
nre for about three years, awaiting the ac
ceptance of the proposition, with all Ita
condition by the people of South Omaha.
Finally the people decided to vote $5,000 a
year for maintenance and a portion of this
sum was diverted tor the purchase of
a alte. According to the agreement from
the. time the structure Is completed and
ready for use the city will be compelled to
apply $5,000 a year for maintenance. The
plana of the building have already been
accepted by the present library board and
It ie presumed the building will be erected
on the lines drawn.
Waltlnar for Ice Harvest.
Men with money In their pocketa are
coming into South Omaha just now and
taking up lodgings at the boarding houses
about town waiting for work on the Ice.
Should the present cold spell continue It
Is expected that tbe harvesting of Ice will
begin not later than Tuesday of next week,
when there will be employment for plenty.
