THE OMAHA DAILV BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 20, if06. PASS SYSTEM AT CITY HALLi Lutheran league meeting Evil that is 80 Dwply Entrenched u toEi Hard to Uproot CONFESSION OF RETIRING COUNCILMAN ays Railroads Shoald Khat OsT It, . far Constituents Will Sot Cease DrMiaJl Amr Other War. "Tha psss evil no far as city councilman and other city c.fllrrrs are concerned cannot ba exargrrated." said one of th outgoing rouncllmen. "It wvmi to me that during mjr term when I was not talking municipal business with people In their presence or over the telephone I have been talcing ap plications for railroad parses from con stituents. It lias been the custom for city nfllrcra to use their Influence with the ra.ll- . ways to obtain these passes and the custom lias been worked to death. Some of the councllmen have asked railroad ofllcers to hut off on the deal, so hard has the prac tice been worked. "During the last administration the charge has been miule repeatedly that least one councilman not only procured lots of transportation for his friends and him (elf, but actually got passes and sold them to scalpers, netting a clear profit for him self by every transaction of the kind. Baaad to HrlaaT Resalts. "Bay what you will, this pass business means that the councllmen can't help but treat the railroads with more or less grarlousness and leniency every time they ' ant anything from the city. The prac tice Is tnot confined to the council. It ex tends to other departments aa well, and I know of one In particular that is actually stuffed with blank transportation that can he used any old way the department sees fit. I doubt If there Is n department, of ficer or employe of the city who has not received free transportation from the rail roads. It does net take much discernment or reasoning to figure out what It means, for the railroads do not give away free rides without expecting something in re turn. "The talk about the anti-pass question being Injected Into the new administration as a leading Issue started aa a Joke, but It has developed Into something more seri ous. Several of the councllmen who will take their seats Monday say they are go ing to uproot the practice. They may suc C4. but if they do they are going to ' have, "mighty hard sledding. The city hall has been a mecca for the pass fiends for o long that it will take resolution and effort to educate the public to a new view, (letting a pass for a constituent Is an awfully nice way to make a firm friend and booster out of him." UNION PACIFIC'S NEW LINES Tntal of Seven Ilnndred Miles of Trark Will Ba l.ald This Year. Tn addition to the new work already mapped out, the Union Pacific, during the year 1906, will relay 337 mile of main line between Council Bluffs and Green River with ninety-pound steel rails. It will lay In addition to this, on new lines and branches, 344 miles, or a total of 701 miles. The magnitude of this work Is best ex plained by stating that If in a straight line it would build a track from Chicago to a point nearly fifty miles west of Grand Inland. This is In addition to the double track work which Is being done In Wyoming. Th work on the Lane Cut Off Is progress- a n . v- v niiu 1 11T7 1 1 11 1 at am being cut away and placed In the heavy fills, which the work requires. A. la rga force of men is at work on the line from North Platte to Northport and this work is being pushed as fust as pos sible. The Burlington la said to have aban doned its work on the line between North riatle and Bridgeport. The contractors also are pushing the work on the Una from .Central City to Stroma burg, and as no heavy grades will be met, this work should soon be finished. General Manager Mohler drove over this new route lust week and reported the work pro gressing nicely. Klithtlaar the Flames.
