The last meeting of the present city coun cil before the final seKslon on Monday tilght next was held last evening- Only four members were present. Smith and Broderlck being- the absentees. Eight or dinances relating to special improvements which had been acted upon by the Gourd ef Equalisation and reported on by the Judiciary committee were passed and will be signed by the mayor today. The sign In n of these ordinances will rrovlde for the cost of Improvements ulready made by petition ot the property owners. Two communications were received from A. H. Murdock, city attorney. In relation to claims filed by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Una related to the salary of A. L. Hergqulst as secretary of the board and the other to the allowing of the printing bill contracted by the bo.rd. Mr. Murdock recommended thut both the Bergquist salary rlalm and the printing claim be turned down. The coun cil, acting upon the recommendation of the attorney, adopted rfho report and the clslms. as far as the present council Is concerned, will not be allowed. County Tressurer Fink has requeued City Treasurer Howe to prepare a list of delinquent taxes, such , as pertain to the scavenger law. In order to do this the treasurer will be obliged to employ ad dltioral help. The council directed the treasurer to employ , what help h Deeds draft plana for a six-room addition to the and get the list of delinquents up as soon I Uncoln school building. A committee, composed of Loeehner, as possible. After a number of small tax matters were adjusted the council adjourned to meet next Monday night, when the vote cast at Tuesday's election will be can vassed. It I. as been suggested by Contractor Han non and City Engineer Beal, as well as others, that the special Improvement bonds for tho grading, curbing and paving of South Twenty-fourth street and Railroad avenue be sold before work commences. In talking of this Improvement yesterday Mr. Beal said he thought it would be a good Idea to have the bonds sold before the work was done, as It mlgh be possible that attorneys for bond buyers would find some flaw in the city charter giving the right to the city to do a certain amount of paving each year. Dan Hannnn, who secured the contract for the grading, curbing and paving In thli new improvement district, stated last evening that he Intended to bring this matter to the attention of the city council us soon after election as possible. The estimated cost of the Improvement Is $76,000, but as the cost, to the street car company for Its portion of the work will amount to about $14,000. the city will not be com pelled to IsRue bonds exceeding $60,000. It is the understanding in municipal circles that this matter will be one of the first subjects of Importance to be taken up by the new council. Until there is some de cision on th legality of the charter In regurd to this section the work of making the Improvements contemplated will not be commenced. Board Purchases Furniture. Thursday night the Board of Education met In tdjourned session and purchased a laig.i quantity of furniture for the new high school building This purchase con sists of uchool seats, desks, opera chairs for the Auditorium, desks for principals and chairs, desks, etc., for the offices.

Several applications for positions as teachers were filed with the board. There will be another meeting of the board on next Monday night. Adklne (or President. Already there Is talk of the reorganiza tion of the city council. Wesley P. Adkins, from the First ward, on account of his ex perience In municipal affairs, Is being pushed by his friends for president of the council. Judging from surface Indications Adkins will not have any trouble In being elected president. Next to the president the chairman of the finance committee Is of the most Importance. Then comes the chairman of Judiciary and so on down the line. It Is thought now that there will be no difficulty In organising the new council when the time comes. That Tardy List. Elnce Superintendent McLean of the pub lic schools offered a blue pennant to the schoolhouse having the least tardiness In a month there Is quite a rivalry among the pupils of the different schools. Just now the Madison school floats the pennant. For two school weeks the West Side, Brown Park, Madison, Highland and Corrlgan schools have not had a single cane of tardi ness. Hawthorne, Lincoln and Jungmann schools each report one case of tardiness In two weeks. The principals of the schools as well as Superintendent McLean and the members of the Board of Education, are greatly pleased over the good work that la now going on. Mr. McLean said Isst night that If the rivalry keeps up It will not be long before every schoolhouse In the city will be floating a blue pennant for a month at least. ratrlck Rowley Dead. Patrick Rowley, one of the pioneer resi dents of South Omaha, died at his home, il N street, last night. For a number of weeks Mr. Rowley suffered from a severe cold, then the grip and then pneumonia set In, which Is given ss the cause of death. The deceased was one of the best known men In the city and leaves many friends, who deeply regret his death. During the early days In South Omaha Mr. Rowley was a member of the city council and was a prominent member of the democratic party. No funeral arrangements will be made until today. Fire Limit Ordinance. Not a great while ago the city council, with the mayor concurring, passed an or dinance extending the fire limits and pro hibiting the erection of frame buildings within the limits. This ordinance Is not being obeyed. There Is a frame shanty being erected In the alley Just south of M street and west of Twenty-fourth. A good sised frame barn Is nesting completion In the alley between N and O streets east of Twenty-sixth street. Both ot these build ings are being put up In violation of the present Are limit ordinances. Mayor Koataky'a Appointees. In talking about his official family yes terday Mayor Koutaky said that as far as the appointive offices were concerned he did not contemplate any change. City Engineer Beal will, of course, remain where he la Minser, Mr. BeaJ's asslatant, will stay as well as the rest of those who are appointed by the chief executive. It Is understood that Treasurer Howe will retain E. L, ,Oustafson In his office as de puty. It was stated on what Is considered good authority last night that City Attorney-elect LamSert would name Harry B. Fleharty as assistant city attorney. It is expected that Mr. Gillan. the new city clerk, will select Frank Burnesa as his deputy. ORCHARD HILL ON ITS EARlr. Improremsnt Oiub .Session Tnrned Into an Indignation Meeting. REAL ESTATE AGENTS GIVE MUCH OFFENSE Ten free trips to the World's Fair esch Propose Erection of Cottages That Do Not Come Ip to Dimensions or Pretensions Deemed Proper for Lacnlltr. Suppressed anger was the principal mani festation at the meeting of the Orchard Hill Improvement club held last night to consider the building of two cottages at Fortieth and Seward streets by Shinier & Chase. The members of the Improvement club seem to be of the opinion that the cottages when built as planned will be a detriment to the community, and every ef fort is being put forth on the part of the club to prevent their erection. President Buchanan opened the meeting with a brief address on the subject In hand, and reported that he had waited upon Mr. 81ilmer as one of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to see the builders and request that they change their plans; that Mr. Shinier had at first refused to consider any change, but later looked like a man who would be willing to accede to the requests of the club, although no promise was elicited. He described the cottages and said lie did not believe they would be an ornament to the community. Dr. Mason arose to address the meeting, when Mr. Blilmer entered. The speaker said he was opposed to the erection of the buildings. He expressed himself as feel ing that the corner where the buildings are to be put up is one of the best in the addition and should have nice houses. Mr. Shlmer was called upon by the chair man, but said he had Just come to hoar what was said, and did not believe he would take any part In the argument. Each member of the club was called upon by the chair to express his or her views concerning the matter In hand. Almost to a member they spoke against the contenv plated Improvements. One speaker said he believed Mr. Shlmer had the right to do as he pleased with the property so long as he had bought and paid for It. He even went so far aa to sny he did not believe it any of the club's business what Mr. Shlmer decided to do with the lots. No Sentiment la Matter. After all had finished Mr. Shlmer was again called upon and responded by saying: "There is no sentiment in this matter. It Is plain business to nie. H does not ap pear to me to be a question of what either of ua would like to do. For my part I would like 'to build a V, house there If I thought it a good business proposition. We are going to build houses as good as we think the location will permit." During the entire meeting things looked squally, but the nearest outbreak occurred when Mr. Shlmer informed the club that his partner did not take enough interest in the matter to visit the meeting. Presl dent Buchanan responded to this remark by saying: "Take our regards back to Mr. Chase and tell htm we are glad be did not come. We are very much obliged to you for taking the trouble." The meeting cloaed with matters prac tically in the same condition as when It opened. Relative to the two cottages proposed to be built in the Orchard Hill district near Seward and Fortieth street the builders said last evening: "We cannot see why so serious objection should be hud against these buildings. Instead of their being cheap tenement houses, they are to be modern cottages in every respect, with cement cellars, porcelain bath and toilet. nelghborhood. The lots upoa they are to built will be neatly ter raced and one of the houses Is to be a story and a half structure of six rooms, the other a five-room, one-story cottage, both to be of modern architecture with celled cornice, neat porches and bay win dows. They are not to be built for rental purposes but for homes. We recognise the fact that there Is a dearth of small cottages In Omaha and to meet this de mand, that is constant, we have decided to put up these cottages." FIND MRS.
