TOLL ON EAST OMAHA BRIDGE
Tariff Charged Traffio and Why it is
Plaoed High.
COMPARES WELL WITH OTHER BRIDGES
Kt Marh lard and Coats Mor to
Operate Than the Doaavlaa Street
Rrldare Amonar, Other
Thlnra.
Some commotion has been canned by the
tolls charged by the Illlnnia Central for
crowing- Its bridge at Kat Omaha. The
tolls are higher than those charged on the
Douglas street bridge and this fact seems
to have stirred up some agitation. At the
lust meeting of the West Council BlufTs
Improvement club the question of the tolls
. over the bridge received considerable at
tention and a resolution was adopted which
points out the fact that the tolls have been
Increased pud favors the Idea of appealing
the matter to the secretary of war, by
' whom such tolls are approved.
John It. Webster, general manager of the
Omahu Bridge and Terminal company,
hh)s: "The present tolls were approved by
Secretary of War Taft, to whom we sub
mitted a schedule of prices. These prices
, are baael on the schedules charged at Sioux
I City, Nebraska City, St. Joseph and other
I cities where the river Is spanned by rati
! road bridges used also for foot and wagon
' travel. Some protest Is made because our
prices are higher than those charged on the
IQUglus street bridge. It must be remem
bered that the conditions are dlffprent with
regard to the Douglas street bridge.
Kerne Differing; Conditions.
"That bridge is exclusively for foot and
wagon travel. It does more business than
the East Omaha bridge will do along this
11 lie for years to come. In fact. It Is prob
able that our bridge never will be as
a Creamy food
Scott's Emulsion is cod
Hvcr oil prepared as a food
not a food like bread or meat,
but more like cream; in fact,
it is the cream of cod liver
oil. At the same time it is a
blood-maker, a nerve tonic1
and a flesh-builder. But
principally it is food for tired
and weak digestions, for all
who are fat-starved and thin.
It is pleasant to take ; children
like it and ask for more.
heavily traveled by teams and foot pas
sengers. At the Douglas street bridge one
watchman does the work, while two have
to be employed, one at ench end of the Illi
nois Central bridge. The tolls collected by
us will not pay the wages of the watch
men. "The bridge has been closed to the public
for ubout three years previous to the for
mal opening. Before we closed the bridge
our tolls were the same us those for the
Doug-las street bridge, but the conditions
now ore different. The Douglas street
bridge Is a much cheaper bridge and can
be operated nt less cost than ours. Travel
over the Douglas street bridge Is so much
greater than ours that its owners can make
money at a rate that would be abxurd In
our case. During January the following
fares were collected for travel over the
Kast Omaha bridge:
1M foot pnsHengers at 5c , -.ko
1 horse and rider at lbc 15
4 nne-hor-He vehicles and d -Ivers at LTc 1.00
15 two-horse vehicles and drivers at Soc 5.'J5
i four-horse vehicles and drivers at 5e J. 01
U extra passengers at 6c S3
Total .-. $15.75
"You see the fares taken in January
would not pay for one man. say nothing
of the four that we hive to keep there.
We do sell -for the benefit of the people
In the western part of Council Bluffs
tickets good for fifty fares for $1.25. This
Is at the rate of 24 cents each.
Comparison of Tolls.
"The right way to compare our toll
Is with other bridges similarly situated and
operating U"dr similar conditions us ours,
and not with those of more populous cities
or where the travel is heavy. Following
Is a comparative table of tolls churavd by
the Kost Omaha bridge and other bridges
used for the same purpose as ours:

NEGROES ASSAULT A CHINESE
Laundry Proprietor Beaten Over
Head by Pair of I'nruly
Hlaok Meu.
Two negroes entered the laundry of Hul
Fung, located at 1314 Jackson street, about
7:16 Kriduy evening, and struck Hul over
the head five times with an Iron gas pipe,
indicting five distinct scalp wounds. One
of the negroes la tall and heavy set, while
the other Is sho t and heavy.
The two men first made their appearance
about three weeks ago, at which time they
went Into the laundry and tried to grab
Hul Fung, but Fung managed to escape
through tue back door and the men did not
get anything. About a week later the
men returned and this time they had a
gun, Lut it did them no good, as Fung
got away again, a-.d, although the men
rifled the till they got nothing for their
trouble. Last evening the same two men
came again and had what was supposed to
be a bundle of laundry. The tall negro
stood at the door while the short one gave
the bundle to Fung. As Fung turned
around to get a laundry ticket the man
truck him over the head five times with
an iron gas pipe. The five blows did not
put Fung out of the business, as the men
evidently expected It would, but, on the
contrnry, aroused him from the customary
Chinese stupor sufficiently to cause him
to utter such unhuman srieeohes as to
frighten the men away. Neighbors called
the police and Fung was taken to the sta
tion, where his wounds were dressed by
Police Burgeon Wlgton. Hul Fung gave
a good description of the men and says
he will be able to Identify them If they
are caught. Hul Fung lost nothing except
a great deal of blood and a little skin.

the police station when he got down to

headquarters was that a Parisian damsel
of the tenderloin district had deftly ab

W. 8. Wright of Wright & Wlllieliny is
the new president of the Commercial club.
He was chosen unanimously last night by
the Board of Directors to succeed R. S.
Wilcox, who retires at the end of his term.
This action was in accordance with the
precedent of the club which for several
years has promoted the chairman of the
executive committee eacli year to the pres
idency of the club.
Thirty-three members of the board of
sixty directors elected for the purpose last
Tuesday were present last night at the
Commercial club rooms when President
Wilcox called the meeting to order. The
meeting, In addition to the naming of the
president, was for the purpose of electing
twenty-five members of the board to the
executive committee, which is the real gov
ernlng body of the club. The new executive
committee consists of:
C. H. Pickens
N. B. t'pdlke
A. Hospe

A. C Smith
F. H. Johnson

before the ballot to serve on the commit
tee. Other members expressed a desire to
be let alone and allowed to sleep, but
they were not positive enough about It
to force the withdrawal of their names.
Tha committee as now organized is still
a jobbers' committee. Of Its members,
fourteen. Including Charles Harding, the
creamery man. and R. C. Rowe, manager
of Armours, are manufacturers and whole
salers. Four more sre classable as either
Jobbers or retailers, but they are probably
considered In the latter. There Is an
other who Is absolutely a retailer. The
rest of the membership Includes one at

man, ons tailor and one grain man, and
one rtal eatate man.

O'clock Friday night. While the wounds
of Emma Lannigan are serious they are
not necessarily fatal. Emma Eannlgan
was visiting in Julia Johnson's room when
Hunter fine into tha room. All went well
for s.-v-Mle and then Hunter started a quar

heated words were passed and Hunter
drew a knife and stabbed the 1-ariulgan

"There can be 110 paving In Omaha for
the next two years unless the legislature
amends the charter so as to increase the
limit of the bonded indebtedness of the city,
or exempts paving intersection bonds from
the restrictions," says City Engineer An
drew Kosewuter "The present bonded debt
limit is 2,rmO,twO. with certain exemptions,
and we are within &!,000 of the dead line.
Although 1100,000 paving intersection bonds
have been voted by the people, they can't
bo issued, and what remain under the limit
will bo exliuusted by main sewer bonds,
also voted, amounting to $75,(100.
"The cost of paving Intersections amount
to nbout one-third of the whole cost for
paving a street. No mutter if the district
does pay for the paving between the in
tersections, the city has to stand for the
latter and the only way It can get money
to do It Is by Issuing bonds. Jf we can't
Issue the bonds the Intersections can't be
paved, and hence the whole improvement
is Knocked out."
The Andersen charter bill provides an In
crease of the limit to $2,750,000, or about
enough to take care of the paving and
sewers for two years, provided no more
than the average amount of work has been
done. With the' accumulation of paving
from two years of inactivity, and the heavy
uemand for sewers, it Is possible thst much
more than $.-60,000 will be needed before
the legislature meets again. City Engineer
Rose water favors exempting the paving and
sewer bonds from the general limit.
No change hus taken place In the status
Of the paving specifications, which have
blocked the wheels of progress for two
years. If the Board of Public Work Is
abolished, and the engineer and council
permitted to muke and approve the speci
fications, little difficulty nt apprehended,
as the council stuuds ready to follow the
instructions of City Atturney Wright, who
has sided with Engineer Rusewatrra views
