TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBR 24, 1903. 7 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA FUbi Prooesding for Bibmittic j Propoti tiea to Inmait Bonded I)b. . ORTY THOUSAND PAID fOR INTEREST If Sfw Matter re Thrsnah Aassnnt if latereat Will (tm Considerably Brfl Fifty Tasv 4 Dollar. Preparation are going ahead for Kb nltting to the voter at the coming elec tion the proposition to Increase the bonded dbt of the city by ratr.non for sewer. Al ready the bonded general debt la I72MM, to which must be added Lrm special bonded debt. With the addition of txu.aon In bonds for the Twenty-fourth street pav ing and ta.nuo district Improvement bonds and $150 more Intersection bonda the total bonded debt will be $867.2X7. To add 1250.000 on top of this will make the bonded debt of the municipality ll.117.2S7. At present a little over Ho.onrt la paid annually on Interest on outstanding obli gations. The Interest at H per cent on the I250.OW) sewer bonda would amount to 111.250 a year. This would be causing the city to pay conalderably more than JGO.00O a year In Interest alone. The sewer bonds are to run twenty years, with the uauai five year ontlon. Providing the sewer bonds were not redeemed In twenty years the city would pay during this period the enormous sum of tS.OOO Interest on the $250,000 sewer bonds. When the proposition to vote sewer bonds Is submitted to the people, property owner will more than likely look Into this matter of bonded Indebtedness and interest thor oughly. Some of those Interested assert that such a large issue of bonds should be sold at not leas than 4 per ent Interest. If this could be done the Interest could be reducted considerably but then the premium on the bond would also be reduced. ' Missionary Society Meeting.

H9 CHANGES SHOWN BY ' THE REVIEW Me 'Whose Knnae Do Rot Even Appear la City Directory Are Voted on tor Cons, anltterase. Completion of the canvas of the primary election, so far a the county I concerned, wa effected Saturday by County Clerk Drexel, Frank Furajr and Otto Bauman. While the official canvass did not change results. It developed some interesting facts. la the Second precinct of the Third ward of Omaha there was no indication of a democratic ballot. No candidate on the democratic ticket was credited with a single vote. While the canvasser won dered, they set the ficure down as they came, and according to the official record of the primary election no democrat In the Second precinct or the Third ward wa bold enough to register himself under his party name. A peculiar condition developed in the Eecond precinct of the Fourth ward, where 8. S. Bugarman received two vote for republican committeeman. There Is no such person a S. 8. Bugarman named In the Omaha directory. There 1 S. Sugar man, a tailor, and M. L. Bugarman. a clerk In the county judge' office. J. K. Boyle, who filed a nomination paper for commit teeman, afterward- withdrew hi name in order to serve on the election board, which he did. The vote for the Second precinct of the Fifth ward in South Omaha waa rejected in total by the canvassing board. There were no signatures of the election offloer to the return. Neither wa there any In dication of party affiliation, and the un official "clerks' return," as It is known, did pot tally with the total registration at all. Instead of charging up IS for their work, individually, the election officers marked up 17, and one of them added 50 cents for mileage, which the law doe not recognise. Ko List of Voters at All. In the Second precinct of the Fourth ward. South Omaha, there was no list of voter at all. Beyond this, the tally of the alleged result Is In lead pencil, which is forbidden by the law. The canvassers passed the matter up, however, and so far as this precinct is concerned it stands. George H. Cockrell. one of the candidates for Justice of the peace, reported defeated, is nominated by a comfortable plurality. In the Third precinct of the Third ward he I credited in the total with forty vote. In the count he 1 not given one vote, his name not appearing at all in the tally. In the Fifth precinct of the Fourth ward of Omaha, forty-six vote are counted for one democratic candidate for police Judge. The record, if it Is worth anything, show that less than forty people voted the demo cratic ticket in this precinct. How this very' obloua discrepancy occurred Is jet to be explained. Frits Bloomer and hi opponent for com mitteeman, Mr. Lela, in the Fifth pre cinct of the Second ward, do not appear at all on the tally sheet of the poll boolt. On the unofficial return of the clerks each man Is credited with thirty-three votes. The I law provides that where a tie occurrs, such a this 1 shewn to be on It faoe, the board for canvassers shall decide It by lot. Owing to the apparent Irregularity of the return the canvassing board decided that it could take no action whatever in ttiis precinct and passed It up. Oarer Little t trcn mat a . In the First precinct of the Sixth ward of Omaha. McDonald and Leslie ran about In the proportion of three to one, com pared to any other condldates, without any apparent reason that any person oan give. No other republican candidates got any thing like the vote of the two mentioned, even In Instance where there was no eon tost. In one district, Thomas Anderson, for committeeman, is credited with thirty-eight votes. Yet he never filed for the position, the canvasser say and the officers of the election board did not apparently know that he had to comply with this formality; and the return seem to show they did not care. McDonald reoelved. according to the re turns. 163 rote in the Fourth precinct of the Twelfth ward, while Fred Hoye is credited with only siaty-stx. Altogether out of proportion with that of the other candidate. The same thing may be said of Florence precinct, where McDonald Is credited with 134, against forty-two for Hoye. It should be noted, incidentally, that while Roosevelt received 198 votes in Florence, the high est VDte ever cast by long odd, this year over 3no people appear to have been regis tered. East Omaha and Valley precinct are recorded equally heavy for McDonald, but all the other candidate went wtth juat remembrance, If the return are correct. Wonder If They Dldntf In one precinct of South Omaha. Tom Flynn la credited with nlnty-on votes. while John Power got only fifteen. The highest democrat to Flynn got only some thing like seventy, and the observers of the canvass wondered if a lot of republicans had not taken democratic ballots and homswoggled the returns. The majorities of the successful candi dates, as returned by the board, are: Hav er W. tUSt: Ieslle. 335; McDonald, 403: Craw ford. (; Beal, 43; Brailey, 846; Bod well. 2,136; fre, 677. The corrected vote for Justice of the peace, which wa somewhat In doubt un til the conclusion of the canvass. Is: Fos ter, 3. 461: Long. 3.124: Eastman. 1.014; Altstadt. 1.411; Cockrell, 1 354: Baldwin, I JM. Anderson, 1.31; Fields. tH2; Bach man, 065; Kubat. In the constable race, Casey and Mc Glnnls, now holding office, loae out in favor of Wlckereham and Nielsen, new aspirants. The four other aucceasful constable candi dates are Church, Hensel, Simpson and Bteln. On the democratic contests. Flynn wins for sheriff by 391 and Lumbard for police Judge by Sun.
