The ihnrter requires that ordinance! cre ating new oflkrs shall be preceded by a resolution declaring the necessity of the 1'fflcc, to be published several weeks be fore the ordinance Is Introduced. This formality was. entirely overlooked by Mc Govern. His ordinance proposed to arrange at once that the mayor appoint a general foreman for the asphalt plant, at a ssUry left blank, to be approved by the council. the foreman to "haye full charge of said asphalt repair -.plant and all repair work done by said plant as directed by the STmayor and council." As If to rcntradlct I Hself the' measure anld the city engineer Jhnuld have "general supervision," hut It was provided that all employes of the In stitution be appointed by the general fore man and provided by the council and should be wholly under the foreman's, direction. As soon aa the document was under stood KlmmSD was on his feet pointing out that It was In distinct violation of the charter which vesta entire supervision and ntrol of the asphalt plant and the nam ing of Its officers and employes In the .p,nwr. subject to approval by the coun cil. He assorted that the plant repre sented Omaha's first venture Into municipal ownership and that It must surely fall If authority were divided. He explained the obvious necessity of having a single compe tent and authoritative head. In detail. KaaVfcoaser's Defense f Flaat. Zlniman's argumanta were supported Im- i.n dlutcly by Funkhouser who aald he hud Inspected the engineering department and had fornd everything there handled prop erly, especially the asphalt plant. He said records of the latter were kept In a com plete and admirable way and that a trip to the office would convince anyone that the plant Is being managed properly. McClovern took occasion to savagely at tacK' fclrnmn 4riinal!y "In so Incoherent a fas I) Ion that It was dlfllcult to perceive his meaning. He said among other things that ho did not . propone to let Zlrnman dictate the policy of a democratic council. He crit icised him for attacking members of the past council , because their families were pained thereby. While Zlrnman was mayor. Mr. Mcuovern declaimed, he had never asked for a single report from a pawnshop or the police court, neglecting; to state In what way the executive ia required to 4 do these things. Mr. McOovern Illustrated his speech with an imitation of a horse stepping high and heavily but even with these aids was unable to make himself clear. ' , Ilatmaa Areaaei Elaasaer.

He moved to place it on file and Jackson seconded the motion, but Elsasser as temporary president was bent on referring it to a committee. Zlrn man Instated that hie motion be put to the house. Elaaaser refused to do so. Zlrn man declared that he would do so. "I'm boss here," shouted Elaaaser, pound ins;, wildly with his gavel. "I'll show you that you can't run thla council." "I don't pretend to be boss here," re. doohs, records or effects from the hall :o the court house. Mr. Fink served written notice that he intended to move the city treasurer's office snd effects to the court house today In order to bring about In reality the consolidation of the city and county treasury departments order by the charter. As the council had failed to pro vide him with suitable quarters In the dry ltall for the merged treasury, after wait log for months, the official considered It time to extend to the public the conven lences and economy It asked for and ex pected. .His proclamation stirred up the desire of oratory and several councllmen spoke long and loudly against permitting Mr. Fink to leave the city hall, but pro posing no plans to give him proper qnar ters. The city attorney said the law gave the mayor and council control over Its books, recorda, furniture, etc., and general direction of the treasurer and that It could prevent the removal If it saw fit. He coun seled use of the police force If necessary and by Implication even calling In the mil Itia or I'nlted States troops If Mr. Fink's clerks and stenographers seemed too much for Chief Donahue's men to handle.

Following the expose by The Hee ef the Inefficient auditing methods employed by the comptroller's office toward tho police court and other branches of the city gov ernment Mayor Dahttnan and Comptroller Iobeck sent In urgent pleas for reform The mayor said the facts disclosed In the police court up to date showed that a check of the police court records for a num ber of yesrs past be undertaken and this he recommended: also a more thorough check it this and other departments. He remarked, too, that the plumbing Inspector had told him he needed an assistant and he asked the council to investigate and consider. The communication wns referred to the Judiciary committee. Comptroller Iibeck seeks to hold the or Inancea responsible for the lax methods In vogue. His letter reads: . Knowing that in several departments of Die city there should be a more complete ordinances now In force and believing that your nonoranie nony is In perfect sym pathy with securing the best plans to ob tain tne nest results In checking the moneys paid to the various officials, there fore I would respectfully request that you innonae. a conference to he hen bv he mayor, the finance committee, the city ittorney and the city comotroller at an early date, so that certain ordinances may oe revisea to conrorm to tne present re- uirements or tne cny and Its nnances. rnererore. if this meets with your an- provsl that such conference be held, would sen mat ine resolution nerewnu trans- nut ten up anopieu. Both the letter and a resolution ordering conference of the mayor, finance com mittee, city attorney and comptroller to Invent reform's were referred to the gen eral committee.

Mlssoarl Paelae May Readjast Its Rates to Get F.levalere to Haaale Grala at Its Itesalar Tariffs. The t'nlon Pacific hss made no further cut In the grain ratea from interior points to Omsha, waiting for the published state ment of the "Burlington which gives ths new rates on that road. For some reason no copy of that tariff has arrived in Omaha, the announcement being made by General Freight Agnt Bpens, who wss in Chicago when the decision was msde to re duce the ratea. The reduction went Into effect Tuesdsy and other roads are com plaining because they can get no copy of the tariff. A meeting of freight officials Is being held In Kansas City at prevent to consider rates in general and this mstter probshly will come up for consideration. While no announcement has been made it Is understood the Missouri Pacific will have to readjust Its grain rates In some manner, ss that road can get no elevators to handle the grain for the H-cent per hun dred allowance which It makes. This al lowance is said to be given by the trans portation department for the Immediate service and to get the cars back, but it has complicated matters and something will have to be done. l.lacola la Kxcltea. Lincoln Is all stirred up over a- report that the party of surveyor which left Lincoln working for the Rock Island had been met at a place not far west of Fair field by another party working from the west, thus completing a preliminary survey on some line, it is also stated anotner party haa followed the first setting atakes after resurveylng. The Lincoln Journal has figured out the new line will leave the main line of the Rock Island southwest of the penitentiary near Lincoln, run south west near Denton, through Crete, south of the Burlington main line thraugh Saline county, west to Geneva and on a straight line from Geneva to Fairfield. It Is also believed In some sources that It Is really the Rock Island which has been acquiring valuable terminals of the Colo rado A Eastern at Denver with the en trance to that city. This Is believed to be a move to get a line to Denver so the Rock Island can share the business of the new Moffatt line when that la completed. Kratterhaltt aad Party Here J. Kruttschnitt, head of the maintenance psrtment, has gone to Denver to assist In the handling of the visiting Klks at that piste. The Taluka eating house I a opened for business. Taluka la at the Junction of the main line of the Hurllngton and the V or Is ml extension and a large number of prospective settlers are soon expected that way.
